> What is wrong with my syntax? Er Nothing, I suspect. The problem is nothing to do with parameters or variables <xsl:apply-templates> <xsl:sort select="....some expression..." order="{$orderby}" /> </xsl:apply-templates> works in the current xt at least in exactly the same way as <xsl:apply-templates> <xsl:sort select="....some expression..." order="{'descending'}" /> </xsl:apply-templates> which is to say it doesn't work at all. In an AVT the expressions inside a { } are evaluated and coerced to being strings, and one assumes (but it doesn't say in the spec) that all such strings, and the characters outside of { } are joined together with an implicit concat() to make a resulting string which is used as the value of the AVT. In this interpretation "{'descending'}" and "descending" would be equivalent. What does the new saxon do (Michael?) David XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
