If you have an element <e att="3"> then the name of the attribute node
(as returned by the local-name() function) is "att", not "@att".

Subject: [xsl] Fwd: Parameterised Sorts
Hi folks,
I'm fairly new to xsl but I have looked everywhere to the
answer to my problem
with no joy. Perhaps someone can help?
I have a table that I need to allow the sort order to be
changeable on so I
have implemented a parameter based sort like so:
<xsl:apply-templates select="teams/group">
<xsl:sort select="*[local-name()=string($sortRequested)]"
order="{$sortOrderRequested}"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
If $sortRequested = 'name' and name is a node below group it
works OK. If $sortRequested = '@name' and name is an
attribute of group it dosn't work.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help.
Chris
