Thanks Antonio!
I had confused nesting jsp tags with nesting a jsp tag within html which is
allowed...
<div class="sortDesc" onclick="document.sort.action='
<tiles:getAsString name='action' ignore='false'/>';
document.sort.submit();">
Your suggestion completely solved my problem. I had no idea how to pull tiles
attributes into other scopes which was the missing piece of the puzzle.
<tiles:importAttribute name="fieldName" scope="request"/>
<s:if test="%{#pagedDataBean.sortedBy == #request.fieldName}">
...
</s:if>
Thanks again, and let me say that I really appreciate the work that you guys
have been doing on Tiles2. It is an invaluable tool.
Regards,

As usual, you cannot use a JSP tag inside another JSP tag, you have to
use it outside.
However, <tiles:useAttribute> exports an attribute as a scripting
variable, <tiles:importAttribute> exports an attribute in a context
(page, request, session, application) and I don't know if it can be
used in a comparison with a value got from a ValueStack (I don't know
Struts 2 as much as you).
