4GL order by

Hi all, We are using 4GL to write a report, we need to sort data selected based on several ways, depending on the some flags. Our programmer used "order by" statement in the report. What he did is to save the sorting criteria in a variable depending on the flag. Then in the statement "Order by" he will put the variable as one of the parameters. The problem that no compilation errors but the resulting list was not sorted as desired. Any hints.....
