Re: Using Javascript to pass a parameter to the <xsl:sort> element

If I hard code the attributes in the <xsl:sort> element, then the data does 
sort:

<xsl:sort select="location" order="descending"/>

But I want to pass the sort parameters as variables,  something like this:

<xsl:sort select="$sortKey" order="$sortOrder"/>
