Filtering with variables

[bfether at mac.com]

Is there a way to filter a container with a variable?

I want to sort a container by the first letter of the item, based on 
the selection made in a tabbed button (such as the letter A).  This 
script won't work:

on menuPick tSelection
     filter tSort with "[tSelection]*"
end menuPick


TIA...

Best regards,
