It is sorted on the value of the variable $sortcolumn; this variable has the same value for every node in your collection, namely "Site". Expressions in the style sheet have to be there in the source code. There is no way to supply them by parameters, to construct them at run-time, or to read them from the source document. The only way out is to generate the style sheet. Perhaps this is another candidate FAQ. Mike Kay XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
