can someone explain to me why the following does not perform the way i 
thought it would....

This works:
results=db(db.allstats.ptype==ptype).select(db.allstats.ALL, 
orderby=db.allstats.attack)

But this does not:

statA = request.vars.stat1
order='db.allstats.'+statA

results = db(db.allstats.ptype==ptype).select(db.allstats.ALL, 
orderby=order)

i receive: uknown column 'db.allstats.attack'

i've built selects using variables but i cant build orderby with variables? 
any tips would be awesome.
