Re: xsl:variable problems: Error in XPATH Expression

        <xsl:sort select="$sortby" order="ascending" />  <!-- ERROR HERE

I think it is a bug in your XSLT system. You should be able to use a
variable there, however it woul dbe pointless, variables hold values,
not expressions, so this would use the same value as the sort key for
every item, so no sorting would occur.
