Using xsl:sort select attribute

["Nuri Besen" <nb_news at hotmail dot com>]

Hello,

I am trying to use the following code:

<!-- template : Sorts msg elm using selected order and key element -->
<xsl:template name="SortTemp">
<xsl:param name="sortColm"/>
<xsl:param name="sortOrder"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="MSGLIST/MSG">
  <xsl:sort order="{$sortOrder}" select="$sortColm"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>

and I do not get any sorting to be done, have tried
  <xsl:sort order="{$sortOrder}" select="string($sortColm)"/>
but no good either.

In short I am trying to make the colm parametric.  Can I do it? If yes, how?

If I do the following:
  <xsl:sort order="{$sortOrder}" select="MSGID"/>
it works fine and sorts it accoring to the MSGID element.

Thanks,
Nuri
