XML
doesn't inherently support element ordering. So, if you have XML that
looks like this (below), you can't deterministically say that
the element with
"foo" data comes before element with "bar" data.
<element>
<data>foo</data>
</element>
<element>
<data>bar</data>
</element>
<element>
<data>monkey</data>
</element>
<element>
<data>fish</data>
</element>
You can get around this XML limitation by explicitly adding an
order/index attribute to your ordered elements. For example:
<element
n="1">
<data>foo</data>
</element>
<element n="2">
<data>bar</data>
</element>
<element n="3">
<data>monkey</data>
</element>
<element n="4">
<data>fish</data>
</element>
