"ORDER BY" problem

In a query inside the Reports, I want to be able to do "ORDER BY" in accordance with input parameters. Say, I have a table A with columns named
'columnA' and 'columnB'. I also have user parameters named 'param1' and
'param2'. I would like to do the following:

select columnA, columnB
from A
order by :param1, :param2;

This presumes of course that the content of each user parameter would be
'A.columnA' or 'A.columnB'.

What is a correct way to do this?

Thanks
