Looking through the code you sent before, I think that the problem
might be that you're setting the parameter with:

>> <xsl:param name="param1" select="S3G"/>

which sets the parameter to the value of the S3G element child of the
root node, whereas you want:

<xsl:param name="param1" select="'S3G'" />
                                 ^   ^

which sets the parameter to the *string* "S3G". Then you can use what
Dimitre suggested:

> <xsl:for-each select="//brpfields/record[@*[name()=$param1] >'0']">
>   <xsl:sort data-type="number" select="@*[name()=$param1]"/>
>   ..........
> </xsl:for-each>

Cheers,
