<![CDATA[Reorder XML with Python script]]>Dear all

Sometimes I have to deal with XML tags which are in the wrong order:

<YearHIVDiagOutsideUK>1996</YearHIVDiagOutsideUK>
<HIVDiagnosisDateInUK>2020-10-07</HIVDiagnosisDateInUK>

which I’d like to convert to:

<HIVDiagnosisDateInUK>2020-10-07</HIVDiagnosisDateInUK><YearHIVDiagOutsideUK>1996</YearHIVDiagOutsideUK>

Thanks for reading.
Mark

may I ask you what exactly you are trying to solve?
Is it about being sure to always have a standardized xml file?
If so, have you considered using xslt instead?
Or do you need a generic way to reorder the tags based on your current requirements?
