In other words, try:

  <xsl:variable name="sort_order">
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="$level = '0'">ascending</xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>descending</xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:variable>
  <xsl:for-each ...>
    <xsl:sort order="{$sort_order}" ... />
  </xsl:for-each>

In fact, most of the attributes on xsl:sort (aside from select) are
attribute value templates, so you can use a variable to set any of
them.

I hope that helps,

Jeni
