RE:passing parameters to xslt from an asp page

Hi,
     Could you guys pl give me a suggestion for this problem?

I am using this xml data file
	<?xml version="1.0"?>
		<searchdoc>
		  <company type="specialist">
			<name> company name </name>
			<description>company information
			</description>
			<geography> South America</geography>
			<link>  www.companyurl.com </link>
			<products>
				<product>  Exchange Server </product>
				<product>   IIS(Web)</product>
				<product>   Kerberos </product>
				<product>   PKI and Certificates </product>
				<product>   SQL Server </product>
				<product>   SSL</product>
				<product>   VPNs</product>
				<product>   Windows NT</product>
				<product> Windows 2000</product>
			</products>
			<specialities>
				<speciality>	Auditing</speciality>
				<speciality>	Design and
Planning</speciality>
				<speciality>	Forensics </speciality>
				<speciality>	Implementation</speciality>
				<speciality>	Policy</speciality>
				<speciality>	System
Hardening</speciality>
			</specialities>
			<segments>
				<segment> Large Business	</segment>
				<segment> Government	</segment>
			</segments>
		  </company>
	</xml>
This data file is for creating search page.Users should be able to search
for company details by selecting any or all or any combination of these 4
fields
'product','speciality','segment','geography' . For that I am using this
xpath 

xPath = "/searchdoc/company[./products[$any$ product " & product & "] &&
./specialities[$any$ speciality " & speciality & "] && ./segments[$any$
segment " & segment & "] && ./geography" & geography & "]"

Using this xpath in ASP I am able to pass the parameters and get the results
comfortably , but I need to sort out the list based on the 'type' attribute
for company.(ie I have to display all the partners in the beginning,all
specialists next and all members third).So I need to use XSLT but I am not
able to pass search parameters from that asp page to xslt and sorting  at
the same time.I am using msxml parser 2.6.

Thanks in advance,
Swamy

Match patterns used in xsl:template are not allowed to contain variable
references, so a conformant processor should reject this.
