can I pass variables through URL while using htaccess RewriteRule?

Question

I was wondering if it is possible to pass another variable through URL while already passing a variable using .htacces?

for example,

RewriteRule ^browse/([a-zA-Z-]+)/?$ browse/index.php?brand=$1

lets say, website.com/browse/index.php?brand=louis-vuitton was rewritten into website.com/browse/louis-vuitton

is it possible for me to use another variable like this:

website.com/browse/louis-vuitton/?sort=name

where would this variable come from? another part of the incoming url? — Marc B

Yes it is, you simply add [QSA] After the rewrite condition

RewriteRule ^browse/([a-zA-Z-]+)/?$ browse/index.php?brand=$1 [QSA]
