not PERSON/FNAME or PERSON/LNAME
when i pass them as parameters .
passing in a param (or using a variable generally)
is just like using a
string in that position.
You have
<xsl:sort select="*[name()=$pa]"
<xsl:sort select="*[name()='DATE']"
works because * selects all child elements, and teh
[] filters out the
date.
<xsl:sort select="*[name()='PERSON/FNAME']"
doesn't work as there is no child element with that
name, what you want
is
<xsl:sort select="*/*[name()='FNAME']"
ie select a grandchild with name 'FNAME'
so
<xsl:sort select="(*|*/*)[name()=$pa]"
order="{$pas}"/>
should work if you pass in pa='FNAME' or pa='DATE'
as it selects either
children or grandchildren with the specified name.
