Use dynamic ORDER BY with DISTINCT in SQL SERVER

Question

DECLARE @OrderBy VARCHAR(100)
SET @OrderBy='DealerCode ASC'
SELECT DISTINCT TOP (10)    
    d.Id, d.DealerCode,d.AffiliationCode,d.LegalName,d.ShipperCode,d.PrimaryUserId,d.PrimaryContactId,d.Zip,              
    d.Address1,d.Address2,d.IsActive,u.IsActive,d.City,d.[State],c.Name,u.UserName,d.RegistrationIntiatedDate,
    d.RegistrationCompletedDate,              
    rs.[Description],u.EntityId,dbo.fnGetCheckHours(d.Id)               
    FROM Dealer d              
    LEFT JOIN [User] u ON d.PrimaryUserId=u.Id              
    LEFT JOIN RegistrationSource rs ON d.RegistrationSourceId=rs.Id              
    LEFT JOIN Country c ON d.CountryId=c.id              
    LEFT JOIN ShippingNote sn ON d.Id=sn.DestinationId              
    LEFT JOIN Yard y ON sn.YardID=y.Code              
    LEFT JOIN Terminal t ON y.TerminalId=t.Id                
    WHERE t.Id='9a77168f-e5b6-4dd0-b26e-f95249c8e189' AND sn.destinationtype='Dealer'
    ORDER BY +'d.'+@OrderBy
But I am getting below error:
Msg 145, Level 15, State 1, Line 4
ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if SELECT DISTINCT is specified.
I am also using CASE but again I got above error
Please suggest.
I Waiting for your valuable response.
