You don't--use

<xsl:for-each select="PatientList/Patient">
  <xsl:sort select="*[name() = ../../SortDetails/SortField]"
order="ascending"></xsl:sort>
    <tr> 
      <td width="17%" height="30"><xsl:value-of select="LastName"/></td>

or 

<xsl:variable name="Variable" select="PatientList/SortDetails/SortField"
/>
<xsl:for-each select="PatientList/Patient">
  <xsl:sort select="*[name() = $Variable]" order="ascending"></xsl:sort>
    <tr> 
      <td width="17%" height="30"><xsl:value-of select="LastName"/></td>
