RE: dinamic sorting question

ok Michael here are the samples

-----XML
<sites-list orderedcol="cod" order="descending" type="number">
  <site id="4" cod="100" folder-name="SI01"/>
  <site id="2" cod="0.5" folder-name="SI35"/>
  <site id="5" cod="50" folder-name="SI05"/>
  <site id="1" cod="25" folder-name="SI44"/>
  <site id="3" cod="0.25" folder-name="SI05"/>
</sites-list>


-----XSL
<xsl:variable name="queelemento" select="sites-list/@orderedcol"/>
<xsl:variable name="queorden" select="sites-list/@order"/>
<xsl:variable name="tipoelemento" select="sites-list/@type"/>

<xsl:for-each select="sites-list/site">
 <xsl:sort select="*[name()=$queelemento]" order="{$queorden}"
data-type="{$tipoelemento}"/>
 <xsl:value-of select="@id"/>,<xsl:value-of select="@cod"/>,<xsl:value-of
select="@folder-name"/><br/>
</xsl:for-each>


So "$queelemento" tells which "site"-atribute is sorting
"data-type" and "order" are working with variables but not "select"
What is wrong in my code?

thanks in advance

The cause is almost certainly in your own code, but we would need to see
more of it to help you.
