hi,
I'm having problems with a sort. I wish to sort some xml, and indent the result. I can do the indent, but the sorting is proving a problem. My xml will be in the format of the below, though the element names may differ per document. <xml> <root_elem> <item_elem> <value1> xyz</value1> <value2> asd </value2> ... </item_elem> <item_elem> ... </item_elem> </root_elem> I want to sort all the "item_elem" elements based on the value of the "value1" sublements. As per abovve, the names of these elements are dynamic, and this is where I am having difficulty. I.e., in another document, "root_elem", "item_elem" and "valueX" could have different names, but the structure is the very same. I need to sort the children of the root element by _their_ first child. Is there a generic way to do this ? Can the result be indented in the same operation ? Any help appreciated.
