RE: Sort Problem

This is a FAQ, and has been addressed very recently on this list, take a
look at the archives.

You can't use attribute value templates in the select attribute of xsl:sort,
or in any other attribute that expects an XPath expression.

For a limited range of requirements, the classic solution is
select="*[name()=$sortBy]"
