xsl sort by attributes

Because you've forgotten to use an attribute value template ({}s) to
indicate that the sort order is the value of the $sort-order variable,
rather than the literal string "$sort-order". Try:

  <xsl:sort select="*[local-name() = $sort-by]"
            order="{$sort-order}" />

Cheers,

Jeni
