XSL-question: sort with parameter

Hi!

I passed a parameter to a stylesheet and I can get the value with
<xsl:value-of select="$order-by"/>.

But I need to sort data by the value of the parameter like

<xsl:sort select="$order-by" order="ascending"/>.

But with this nothing happens and all other forms I tried also failed.

Does anyone know how to work this?

Thanks a lot

Axel

It's not a very good solution if you have a lot of values for sort,
because you need to put one xsl:if tag for any possible value.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 <xsl:parameter name = "sort"/>

 <xsl:template match="/HELLO">
  <xsl:if test = "$sort='@K'">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="GOODMORNING" >
     <xsl:sort select="@K"/>
  </xsl:apply-templates>
  </xsl:if>
  <xsl:if test = "$sort='@H'">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="GOODMORNING" >
     <xsl:sort select="@H"/>
  </xsl:apply-templates>
  </xsl:if>
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match="GOODMORNING">
  <xsl:value-of select="."/>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Hi Axel,

You can use something like following:

  <xsl:sort select="child::node()[name()=$order]"/>

Best regards
    Roman

Try this. Here datatypes also are of concern :).

<xsl:when test="$xsldttype='number'">
  <xsl:for-each select="DATALINE/*[name() = $xslcol]">
  <xsl:sort select="." data-type="number"/>
            <xsl:call-template name = "tablerow" />
 </xsl:for-each>
 </xsl:when>

<xsl:when test="$xsldttype='text'">
  <xsl:for-each select="DATALINE/*[name() = $xslcol]">
  <xsl:sort select="."/>
            <xsl:call-template name = "tablerow" />
 </xsl:for-each>
 </xsl:when>

Try to search for examples on www.google.com.

Have fun,
Leonid Kleiner
