If you're interested in working with the order of a document's nodes, you should get the document's content via the content() method, and edit the returned List:
Document doc;
List content = doc.content();
int rootIdx = content.indexOf(doc.getRootElement());
content.add(rootIdx, DocumentFactory.createProcessingInstruction("target", " data "));

I have noticed the following behavior:
If I create a document (with default DocumentFactory), add a Root Element and only then add a Processing Instruction, when I print out the xml document (using asXML()), the PI ends up at the end of the document. It appears that all children of the Document are stored as a list and and such the PI is stored after the root element. I wonder if maybe internally, the PI should be moved to the front of the list when on is added. I can see an argument that this is the reponsability of the developer to ensure that a PI is added before a root element. Am I correct that this is the expected behavior?
Thanks!
