XSLT can sort elements: http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#sorting

XMLStarlet won't help you much here because the ed(it) command isn't
based on XSLT, and it isn't really practical to edit files with the
sel(ect) command. You can use the tr(ansform) command to apply XSLT,
though that isn't different from using xsltproc.
