By changing the axis that you used:

       <xsl:sort select="@*[name()=$sort]" />

If you have mutually exclusive element and attribute names, you could have:

       <xsl:sort select="@*[name()=$sort] |
                          *[name()=$sort]" />

Then you could pass either generic identifier and only one of the above two 
sides of the union would have a non-empty value.

I hope this helps.
