Re: [xsl] Sort XML based on Tokenized String of sort by fields

<xsl:sort select="string-join($ORDER_BY_TOKEN,',')"/> 

do the job replacing ',' by some other separator if there is any
possibility of , appearing in any of the fields.


You should do what I meant here, not what I wrote, unfortunately there
is not much correlation between the two, so I'll rephrase.

If you are doing it in one pass, then you want

<xsl:sort 
  select="string-join(for $i in $ORDER_BY_TOKEN return 
*[local-name()=$i],',')"/>


If you are generating a stylesheet you want

<xsl:element name="xsl:sort" 
  select="concat('string-join((',  $ORDER_BY,  ')'','')')"/>
