Jeni, The problem, perhaps, is that I'm not storing the data that way? - let me elaborate. Here's my XML file: <OBJECT_TABLE> <RECORD> <ID>001</ID> <TIME>06:00:00</TIME> <LENGTH>1:35</LENGTH> <DESCRIPTION>CCC Record</DESCRIPTION> </RECORD> </OBJECT_TABLE> Using the following XSL, I am rendering this data into an HTML table: <table> <xsl:for-each select="OBJECT_TABLE"> <xsl:sort select="RECORD/TIME" order="ascending"/> <tr> <xsl:for-each select="RECORD"> <xsl:for-each select="ID"> <td><input type="checkbox" name="arrSelect" value="{.}"/></td> </xsl:for-each> <xsl:for-each select="TIME"> <td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td> </xsl:for-each> <xsl:for-each select="LENGTH"> <td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td> </xsl:for-each> <xsl:for-each select="DESCRIPTION"> <td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:for-each> </tr> </xsl:for-each> </table> Which looks roughly like this and is sorted, correctly, by TIME [] 06:00:00 1:35 CCC Record [] 06:01:35 2:00 AAA Record [] 06:03:35 3:33 BBB Record and so forth . . But, I would like the end-user to be able to sort this data in the HTML page, without making another call to the database (which is generating the XML) - and was hoping to accomplish this by creating a parameter that would trigger the proper column to sort. So, I created the parameter and gave it a static value (I'll pass them dynamically later) <xsl:param name="item" select="'RECORD/LENGTH'"/> and I can get that value to show on my HTML page using: <xsl:value-of select="$item"/> but what I cannot do is: <table> <xsl:for-each select="OBJECT_TABLE"> <xsl:sort select="$item" order="ascending"/> <tr> . . . Any additional insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bryce XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
