Hi Mark,
I don't think there is a proper API for the things you want to do. However, you could use this 'hack' to solve your problem: instead of adding the "name" and "addr" elements to the person element, you could add them to the list returned by the Element.elements() method:
Element person = ...; Element addr = ...; Element name = ...; List elements = person.elements(); elements.add(addr); elements.add(0, name);

Hi all,
I'm new to dom4j so please point me to the appropriate docs if I've missed something. I'm trying to build an XML document with dom4j that complies with a schema in which the order of elements matter. For example, the following is valid:
<person> <name /> <addr /> </person>
But this isn't:
<person> <addr /> <name /> </person>
Unfortunately, as I'm constructing the document, I will not always be able to add the elements in the right order. Is there a way to specify the order in which the elements should be sorted, or do I have to do something like use the visitor pattern to visit every element to make sure that it's properly sorted before printing the document?
Thanks, -Mark
