Variable ORDER BY

How can I use a  variable ORDER BY clause in an embedded SQL statement?
This doesn't work...

C/EXEC SQL              
C+ Declare MyCursor Cursor For
C+   Select *           
C+     From Myfile     
C+     Order By :MyField   
C+   For Read Only      
C/End-Exec              

I know I have to do something different because it's a variable that
contains a field name, but I dunno what that different thing is.

TIA...
