Depends on what you want. You just want a list of sorted nodes, or do
you want them to be in sorted order in the document?
Here's some psudocode that uses insertion sort to build a list of sorted
elements:
Element main = (Element)document.selectSingleNode("//main");
List sorted = new ArrayList(main.elements().size());
for(Iterator it = main.elements().iterator(); it.hasNext(); ){
Element current = it.next();
int id = Integer.parseInt(current.attributeValue("id"));
for(int i = 0; i<sorted.size(); i++){
int sortedId = ( (Element)sorted.get(i) ).attributeValue("id");
if( id > sortedId ){
sorted.add(current, i+1);
}else if(i == 0){
sorted.add(current, 0);
}
}
}
If you want to sort them in place in the document, you could use bubble
sort or something.
