select position fixed
Meltem:

<xsl:template match="data">
  <xsl:for-each select="item[not(.='Solution')][position &lt; 4]">
    <xsl:value-of select="concat(., ' ')"/>
  </xsl:for-each>
  <xsl:text>Solution </xsl:text>
  <xsl:for-each select="item[not(.='Solution')][position &gt; 3]">
    <xsl:value-of select="concat(., ' ')"/>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

(Not tested.) Note that this will insert "Solution " in fourth place even if it didn't exist among the <item> elements. I'll leave what to do to prevent this as an exercise....

Cheers,
Wendell

Hi all

here is an xml document
<data>
<item>Solution</item>
<item>Business</item>
<item>Strategy</item>
<item>Technology</item>
<item>Problem</item>
...................
</data>

the output will be as

Business Strategy Technology Solution Problem ........

the position of "Solution" may change in the xml file but it has to appear
in the 4th position always.
