I'm trying to pass in a variable like @sort and select out of a temp table
and order by that variable.  I can't get this to work no matter what
combination of quotes and concationations I use.  Any help is greaty
appreciated. I'm lost.


@sort varchar(50)
SET @sort = 'lname'


--bunch of joins and selects here dumped into #extreturn

-- my last attempt 
exec ("Select * from #ExtReturn order by'"+ @sort+"'")


this works fine:
exec ("Select * from #ExtReturn order by Lname)

Thanks,
Doug
