Hi Adam, Thanks for the reply.
I changed the sitemap (That looks pretty close to another variation I tried). My output.xsl Already had <xsl:param name="sort"/> But it still didn't work. Then I reordered some stuff to what you suggested (don't know if you meant for me to re-order it) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:param name="sort"/> Became <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";> <xsl:param name="sort"/> <xsl:template match="/"> And it now says: "Reports - sort order = date." Or "Reports - sort order = number." So <xsl:value-of select="$sort"/> works nicely. You star! So is it best to have use-request-parameters set to false and pass the single parameter in (in terms of ability to cache the form)? I guess it can use the cached version if that one parameter remains constant, rather then the whole set of parameters? One problem persists: It still doesn't actually sort the table. <xsl:for-each select="data/reports/*"> <xsl:sort select="$sort"/> <!-- blah --> </xsl:for-each> Is my <xsl:sort /> tag correct? (I presume not). Thank you again, I am at least a lot closer.
