RE: passing a parameter to select attribute of <xsl:sort>

["Ryan Daigle" <rwdaigle@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is, in fact, just the hack I was looking for.  Jeni Tennison also
proposed a similar method:

  <xsl:apply-templates select="./listItem">
    <xsl:sort order="{$order}" select="./person/*[name() =
$orderingElement]"/>
  </xsl:apply-templates>
