hi,
I'm having problems with a sort.
my requirement is to sort some xml, and indent the result. I can do the
indent bit, but the sorting is failing.
My xml is as follows :
<xml>
<root_elem>
<item_elem>
<value1> xyz</value1>
<value2> asd </value2>
...
</item_elem>
<item_elem>
...
</item_elem>
</root_elem>
Basically I want to sort all the "item_elem" elements based on the value of
the "value1" sublements.
However, the names of these elements are dynamic, and there is where I am
having difficulty. I.e., in another document, "root_elem", "item_elem" and
"valueX" could have different names, but the structure is the very same.
I need to sort the childred of the root element by _their_ first child.
Is there a generic way to do this ?
Can the result be indented in the same operation ?
Any help appreciated.
Peter
