Problems with sort.
I'm still not able to get my sort to work, unfortunately. Again, here is my XML
document and XSL. I want it to sort by whatever the element is in /PAGE/@sort.
I have tried so many combinations to try and tell it where to find the
attribute @sort. I'm assuming that not finding it is what's causing it not to
sort.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<PAGE title="Display Projects" sort="title">
<projects>
                <project>
                                <number>
                                        1114
                                </number>
                                <title>
                                        Test Title
                                </title>
                                <site_code>
                                        INCTM
                                </site_code>
                                <department>
                                        0
                                </department>
                </project>
</PAGE>

<xsl:template match="projects">
  <xsl:apply-templates>
   <xsl:sort select="Here is where I need help!"/>
  </xsl:apply-templates>
 </xsl:template>
