   Re: [xml-dev] Strange Sorting Problem

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]


This would be better asked on xsl-list (where it's a faq)
(see http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list )



                  <xsl:sort select='$sorted_field' order='ascending'/>

xsl variables do not contain expressions, but values, so the above sort
expression is using a fixed sort key value for all items, so no sorting
takes place.

You probably want to select an element with name given by the variable,
which is

                  <xsl:sort select='*[name()=$sorted_field]'
                  order='ascending'/>
