Comment: How do I order an XML file by its timestamp tag? I have an xml file with content that is in a mixed timestamp order, and I want to rearrange the file based on the time and date in its timestamp tag in ascending order. Thanks.

Reply: (edit)Well, you will have to write some code to do that. What blah language are you thinking about? Maybe think about XSLT? Guy

Reply: (edit)ShaqDiesel, There are a couple options here. As Guy mentioned, you can definitely use XSLT to create a new XML file which is sorted. Look into using <xsl:sort/> within the XSLT file and making the output file XML rather than HTML, etc. The second option is to use the XML DOM. This would give you the most control and you could simply run a quicksort on the attribute or element which needed to be sorted, then write a new XML once all elements are sorted. Hope this helps point you in the right direction.
