Hi, I just changed the input as below.

Most of it is going fine, but one thing I noticed is that it’s moving the position of “mainterm” as well. This won’t work because the xsd/dtd says that <mainterm> must come first, and then the <linkterm>s which are related to it. What is happening at the moment is that it is arrange ALL the tags alphabetically, <mainterm> and <linkterm>. How can this be controlled by the code?
