I want to rearrange the order of my XML file via XSLT.
At the moment I am doing this by writing out 10 different <xsl:apply-template select=""> statements.
This seems to take twice as long as just using the <xsl:apply-templates/> element.
Is there a quicker way to rearrange the order that nodes appear or is this the only way?
Thanks.

You can publish your input XML file and current XSLT here. Using this data we will try to simplify your XSLT.

Here is a sample of the XSLT & XML. I also had a question on the repetetive nature of the select element. For example in the candidate template, I continually use <xsl:value-of select="accname"/>. I did this because I do not want every element from the XML to be transformed (some have been deliberately left out) but there may be a quicker way of doing this?

You can use <xsl:copy-of> everywhere you are just copying subtree,
for example this:

<xsl:template match="perminvitem">
<perminvitem>
<charge>
<xsl:value-of select="charge"/>
</charge>
<description>
<xsl:value-of select="description"/>
</description>
<empid>
<xsl:value-of select="empid"/>
</empid>
<percentcharge>
<xsl:value-of select="percentcharge"/>
</percentcharge>
<perminv>
<xsl:value-of select="perminv"/>
</perminv>
<perminvoiceitems>
<xsl:value-of select="perminvoiceitems"/>
</perminvoiceitems>
<salary>
<xsl:value-of select="salary"/>
</salary>
<startdate>
<xsl:value-of select="startdate"/>
</startdate>
</perminvitem>
</xsl:template>

can probably be changed into this:

<xsl:template match="perminvitem">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>

as long as source and target sub-trees are exactly the same.
