Is use of a Variable in <sortField>?

[t3_chris]

Hi!

 

I'm in need to sort my report by the value of the followingvVariable:
 

---

<variable name="characterString" class="java.lang.String" resetType="None" calculation="Nothing">
        <variableExpression><![CDATA[$F{virtualVendingmachine}.getVendingmachine().getBasemachine().getType().getCharacter().toString()]]></variableExpression>
        <initialValueExpression><![CDATA["init"]]></initialValueExpression>
    </variable>

---

 

Is it possible to use a variable as sortField?

 

---

<sortField name="$V{characterString}" />

---

 

Thanks for your help in anticipation!

 

Best regards,

 christian
