Dynamic Sort/Break

Question

I want to let the users Dynamically chose the sort order of a report. The report is like this:
select last_name, first_name, department, emp#
from emo
I have a field where the user can choose to sort by, last name, first_name department, emp#
Can I do something with the XSL sort to have it be dynamic based on a field value?
<?for-each:ROW?><?sort:p1_sort_field;?>

Answer 1

Thanks Tim. I still can't get it to work. It is giving me an error when I try to run the .RTF from my APEX page.
I created an item on my page name 'P507_ORDER_BY'. I set the value to 'GRADE_LEVEL'.
I added this to the help Text of my RTF:
<xsl:param name="order" select='''P507_ORDER_BY''' xdofo:ctx="begin"/> <?for-each:ROW?><?sort:./*[name(.)=$order]?>
Here is my XML:

Any ideas?
