xsl:sort

Hey all ...

Here is the question :

I am passing a parameter using
processor.setStylesheetParam("S", "'name'");

Now in my style sheet I can access the parameter like this
<xsl:value-of select="$S">
but if I try to use this

<xsl:sort select="$S"> .. it doesn't work
please help guys

I have added the xsl file below ( and I can asure u the parameter is
passed properly )

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!-- Simple layout one table with the referenve feature-->
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

<xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8" />

<xsl:param name="searchName" select="'B'"/>
<xsl:param name="S" select="'name'"/>
<xsl:param name="Ext" select="0"/>
<xsl:param name="Email1" select="0"/>
<xsl:param name="Email2" select="0"/>
<xsl:param name="Dept_id" select="0"/>
<xsl:param name="Dept_desc" select="0"/>
