Passing the set name to low_reorder via an embed
I want to pass the set name to low_reorder tags via an embed. I am trying to replicate the way I can can pass a channel name ('planning') to a template via the parameter 'about_set' to the standard channel tags. Thus within the template this works:
{preload_replace:channel_name="{embed:about_set}"}
{exp:channel:entries channel="{channel_name}" disable="categories|member_data|pagination" sort="asc"}
......
{/exp:channel:entries}
==============================
Using low_reorder (with a set also called planning) this works:
{exp:low_reorder:entries set="planning" disable="categories|member_data|pagination" sort="asc"}
...
{/exp:low_reorder:entries}
===================================================
But using using low_reorder this does not work:
{preload_replace:set_name="{embed:about_set}"}
{exp:low_reorder:entries set="{set_name}" disable="categories|member_data|pagination" sort="asc"}
...
{/exp:low_reorder:entries}
This displays no entries
===================================================
Any suggestions?

Using the third option, can you turn on template debugging? You can look up the actual opening Low Reorder tag there, including parsed {set_name} variable. What does that say?
Can you also copy/paste all lines that mention Low Reorder here?

Thanks for the (startlingly) quick response
This is the full template:
===============================================================
{embed="embeds/html-header" my_page_title="About Jericho" my_location="about"}
{embed="about/sidebar1_about" my_location="about"}
ABOUT JERICHO - PLANNING
Planning
Residents of Jericho now have greater opportunities for shaping the future of this unique area.
{embed="about/about_display" about_set="planning"}
<!-- end .content -->
{embed="about/sidebar2_about"}
{embed="embeds/html-footer"}
<!-- end .content -->
<!-- end .container -->
====================================================
This is the full embed ‘about_display’:
{preload_replace:set_name="{embed:about_set}"}
{exp:low_reorder:entries set="{about_set}" disable="categories|member_data|pagination" sort="asc"}
{title}
{entry_date format='%F %d %Y'}

You're using this for the preload replace code:
{preload_replace:set_name="{embed:about_set}"}Which sets a {set_name} var. But you're using the variable {about_set} in the Low Reorder tag. Use the right varname and you should be good to go.

Well spotted! That did the trick.
Thanks for an excellent product and great support!
