Is it possible to update the sort value eg:
 | order($sort) 
via params in a client query?

Params are only available in the query statement I believe (so between
*[…]
), not in slice, projection, order, etc. However, nothing should stop you from using a JS variable there, if that helps?
const query = groq`*[_type == $type]{...} | order("${sort}")`

ah ok thanks! Can just use JS variables. Can I ask the benefit of using
groq
?

I’m guessing variables will be important too if making pagination and updating the slice

It will work without
groq
as well I think and yep, you would probably use vars for slices too in that situation.
