as i said in my original reply if you want to evaluate an arbitrary
XPath supplied as a string then you want to use a system with an
evaluate extension.

However if you just want to allow a fixed set of possibilities then

<xsl:sort select="
root/person/supelogin/login[$sortering='a'] |
root/person/supelogin/person[$sortering='b'] |
root/address[$sortering='c'] 
"/>

will sort on any of those three elements, depending on whetehr
$sortering
is a b or c.
