in thread Consistent xml formatting

Sorry, but order of elements is not always significant. The XML standard allows you to define sections that must contain a set of elements regardless of order. This can be specified in an XML schema with the tag <xs:all>

If OP doesn't care about element order, then they are better off building a schema and using that to validate their XML

    Are you sure XML schema is part of the standard?
