RE: [xsl] Is it possible to create xsl:sort from input parameters using XSLT 2.0 (Saxon)?

A good guide to XML Schema is Priscilla Walmsley's book Definitive XML Schema published by Prentice Hall. It's probably overkill to learn all about XML Schema just for this problem, but I mentioned it because there are hundreds of errors that people make with path expressions which would be diagnosed much more quickly if people used schema-aware stylesheets and queries. Of course, you still need to understand the XSLT/XPath rules to get things right. I still think the right solution for this problem might be to generate the stylesheet before running it. You said that wasn't possible, but you didn't say why.
