Hello Kumar,



it's not completely correct, what you wrote in your code. It has to be



<xsl:sort  order="ascending"  select="*[name()=$sortmethod]"/>.



This means: Sort all regions in the file by a element ('*'), whose name 
(e.g. 'city') is the same as specified in $sortmethod.



Regards,



Joerg



I have written XSL to display city, companyname in Table structure .based on the criteria node's sorting i will have to either sort the data by City or Comp_name 
when it appears for the first time ...



I tried this ..globally i did 
<xsl:variable name="sortmethod" select="//criteria/sortby">



SOmewhere down in my template where i write xsl:for i do this ....
<xsl:for-each select="//regions">
      <xsl:sort  order="ascending"  select="name()=$sortmethod"/>
</xsl:for-each>

Does that work??
