[xmljs-users] Re-ordering XML data...

[Eljon G. <eg...@re...>]

Hi,

This is my last hurdle to overcome (I think) in using XML and the xmlJS lib=
rary.  I use this technology to allow users to control the layout (order, a=
ctive/inactive, labeling) of pages in our application.  However the orderin=
g is based on an <orderNumber> element I created by it does not change the =
"position" of the <section> in the XML file.  My question is there a way to=
 re-order elements?  I can only display the elements by using the XPath pos=
ition() function.  Here is the way it works now and the desired result:

How it looks now:


<section>
<id>1</id>
<name>My Section</name>
<orderNumber>02</orderNumber>
<active>Yes</active>
<locked>Yes</locked>
</section>
<section>
<id>2</id>
<name>My Other Section</name>
<orderNumber>01</orderNumber>
<active>Yes</active>
<locked>Yes</locked>
</section>
The desired results:

<section>
<id>2</id>
<name>My Other Section</name>
<orderNumber>01</orderNumber>
<active>Yes</active>
<locked>Yes</locked>
</section>
<section>
<id>1</id>
<name>My Section</name>
<orderNumber>02</orderNumber>
<active>Yes</active>
<locked>Yes</locked>
</section>

Thanks.
