    <columnAlias>AgreementType</columnAlias>
</sorting>
<sorting>
    <sort>asc</sort>
    <columnAlias>CollectionNo</columnAlias>

<report>
    <columns>
        <title>Currency</title>
        <title>AgreementType</title>
        <title>CollectionNo</title>
    </columns>
    <results>
        <result>
            <Currency>US dollar</Currency>
            <AgreementType>abc</AgreementType>
            <CollectionNo>0000050</CollectionNo>
        </result>

Hi,

I need to sort the $results based on element columnAlias in $sorting.

for eg :  
In the below scenario, I want to first sort the $results with AgreementType(desc) and then with CollectionNo(asc).If there is not <sort> element in $sorting/sorting then do not use that element <columnAlias> for sorting.
Moreover the elements in $sorting & $results will be dynamic and not fixed.

let $sorting :=<a> <sorting>
    <columnAlias>Currency</columnAlias>
</sorting>
<sorting>
<sort>desc</sort>
    <columnAlias>AgreementType</columnAlias>
</sorting>
<sorting>
    <sort>asc</sort>
    <columnAlias>CollectionNo</columnAlias>
</sorting></a>

let $results := 
<report>
    <columns>
        <title>Currency</title>
        <title>AgreementType</title>
        <title>CollectionNo</title>
    </columns>
    <results>
        <result>
            <Currency>US dollar</Currency>
            <AgreementType>abc</AgreementType>
            <CollectionNo>0000050</CollectionNo>
        </result>
        <result>
            <Currency>Pound sterling</Currency>
            <AgreementType>xyz</AgreementType>
            <CollectionNo>0000048</CollectionNo>
        </result>
        <result>
            <Currency>Euro</Currency>
            <AgreementType>ebf</AgreementType>
            <CollectionNo>0000049</CollectionNo>
        </result>
    </results>
</report>

Thanks
Pragya
