[xsl] Conditional xsl:sort

["David B. Bitton" <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have the following:

...
<xsl:for-each select="Transaction">
    <xsl:sort select="*[local-name() = string($sortby)]"
data-type="{$datatype}" order="{$order}"/>

    <xsl:if test="$sortby = 'Description'">
        <xsl:sort select="Code" data-type="number" order="{$order}"/>
    </xsl:if>
...

and I'm getting this:

...
Keyword xsl:sort may not be used here.
...

for the second, conditional, xsl:sort.  Why?
