sorting problems
Apologies for not replying to the thread, but I 
am on the daily digest and not sure how to 
respond appropriately.

Thanks to all for the suggestions, I have tried
to implement them, but now I get no results.
This is the XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<scenarios>
  <file name="scen03.xml">
  <sml:meta xmlns:sml="http://www.test.com/">
    <sml:designer id="mm">
      <sml:name>Mr Mustard</sml:name>
    </sml:designer>
  </sml:meta>
  <sml:scenario xmlns:sml="http://www.test.com" status="test"
version="1">
    <sml:name>My New Scenario</sml:name>
  </sml:scenario>
  </file>
  <file name="scen01.xml">
  <sml:meta xmlns:sml="http://www.test.com">
    <sml:designer id="jc">
      <sml:name>Joe Cool</sml:name>
    </sml:designer>
  </sml:meta>
  <sml:scenario xmlns:sml="http://www.test.com" status="draft"
version="1">
    <sml:name>Test 102</sml:name>
  </sml:scenario>
  </file>
  <file name="scen02.xml">
  <sml:meta xmlns:sml="http://www.test.com">
    <sml:designer id="fw">
      <sml:name>Fred E. Wally</sml:name>
    </sml:designer>
  </sml:meta>
  <sml:scenario xmlns:sml="http://www.test.com" status="final"
version="1">
    <sml:name>Scenario #2</sml:name>
  </sml:scenario>
  </file>
</scenarios>


And this is the XSL:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
	xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  xmlns:sml="http://www.test.com"
  >

<!-- request parameters -->
<xsl:param name="sort">stat</xsl:param>

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="scenarios">
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Scenario List</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  <div align="center">

    <h1>Scenario List</h1>

    <table summary="Scenario List" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0">
      <tr>
        <th>Name</th>
        <th>Designer</th>
        <th>Status</th>
      </tr>
      
      <!-- should work, but does not seem to sort?? -->
      <xsl:variable name="sortkey">
        <xsl:choose>
          <xsl:when
test="$sort='design'">sml:meta/sml:designer/sml:name</xsl:when>
          <xsl:when
test="$sort='stat'">sml:scenario/@status</xsl:when>
          <xsl:otherwise>sml:scenario/sml:name</xsl:otherwise>
         </xsl:choose>
      </xsl:variable>
      <xsl:for-each select="file">
        <xsl:sort select="*[name(.) = $sortkey]"/>    
      <!-- THIS DOES WORK, but does not handle different sorts
      <xsl:for-each select="file">
        <xsl:sort select="sml:scenario/sml:name"/>
        -->
        <tr>
          <td><xsl:value-of select="sml:scenario/sml:name"/></td>
          <td><xsl:value-of
select="sml:meta/sml:designer/sml:name"/></td>
          <td><xsl:value-of select="sml:scenario/@status"/></td>
        </tr>      
      
      </xsl:for-each>
    </table>
    
  </div>
  </body>    
</html>
</xsl:template>

<!-- scenario files -->
<xsl:template match="file">
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>


Any help with this would be appreciated!

Thanks
Derek
