The question is somewhat confusing. Are you putting out only text found
inside an item element? If so are you imposing a particular order on all
of the output? Are you only concerned with the ordering of "Solution"
and nothing else? What if no "Solution" appears in the input? What if
there are only three items, and "Solution" cannot be the fourth since
there are not four?
