Hi,

I am trying to build a dynamic sort.
In order to have a proper sort I need to modify two attributes of the sort element.
1. the select attribute.
2. the data-type attribute.

the first one is easy:
<xsl:sort select="*[local-name()=$my-variable-to-sort]">

but when I am trying to put some variable in the data-type attribute I get transformation error:
"XTDE0030: data-type on xsl:sort must be 'text' or 'number'"

My data type are different. I must change the data-type in order to have a proper sorting dynamically.

HELP..... :)

Well as you don't show the code where you specify the data type it's hard to say. Are you using attribute value template syntax and enclosing the variable in curly braces {}?

Thenk you very much!!!!!!

The curly braces solved my problem.
I have never saw curly braces used before.
