Hi, confreres, I have a problem with XML::DOM.

In my XML file I have a tag named <function>

eg: 

<function name='a' start='1'>
<function name='b' start='2'>
<function name='c' start='3'>
<function name='a' start='4'>
<function name='b' start='5'>
the code comes here, it prints unorded! 
my $nodes = $data->getElementsByTagName('function');

  my $n = $nodes->getLength;

  for (my $i = 0; $i < $n; $i++)
 {
   my $node = $nodes->item ($i);
   my $start = $node->getAttributeNode ("start");
     print $start->getValue . "\n";
 }

is it possible to sort, so that all with name a, then b, then c print out?

thanks
