Hi Andreas, the fn:sort function [1] allows you to specify a dynamic collation string. Note, however, that you can only specify one collation string per sort operation, just as you cannot change any other sort property (such as e.g. the sort order) in a single sort.

Hi,

this:

for $i in $item let $lang := concat("?lang=", $item/@xml:lang/string()) order by $i collation $lang return $i

does not work: "[XPST0003] Expecting quote, found '$'." Any way to do this dynamically?

Wouldn't

order by $i collation $item/@xml:lang/string()

make sense?
