      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?
