RE: Param in xsl:sort select

Hi,

I'm trying to pass a string value as a parameter to my 
stylesheet. That value is supposed to control the sorting of 
contacts. 

I have a solution that works but the expression used in my 
xsl:sort select attribute looks horrible 
(./*[local-name()=$sortParam]).

You can rewrite it to

  *[local-name()=$sortParam]

I want to use something like 
<xsl:sort select="$sortName"/> instead but that doesn't work. Why?

Because $sortName will always evaluate to the same string, thus all items to be 
sorted have the same sort key.

Cheers,
