Iyer, I think that the problem is that with the line: sortField.setAttribute "select","'"+ field +"'" you are setting the xsl:sort to look like: <xsl:sort select="'NAME'" /> When the select expression is evaluated for each of the nodes that's being sorted, it always comes up with the same value, the string 'NAME'. If you instead want it to sort on the value of the *child node* called NAME, then you want either: <xsl:sort select="*[name() = 'NAME']" /> (which is equivalent to changing the value of the parameter and leaving the sort expression as it is) or simply: <xsl:sort select="NAME" /> To create the latter, you just need to take out the extra quotes that are making the XSLT processor interpret it as a string rather than an element name: sortField.setAttribute "select",field I haven't tested this, but I think it might work.
