Why? It sounds like a misuse of XML to me...

Is there any reason to sort data in xml file? The order of data in xml file is not important...

Harry226208 13-Mar-15 4:33am

Yes, I have to sort xml data order by HierarchyPath.
The order of data in xml file is important.

Maciej Los 13-Mar-15 5:09am

OK. What have you done till now?

Maciej Los 13-Mar-15 8:43am

I mean what have you done to change the sort in XML file? What kind of language do you use?

You could deserialize the XML file,
then sort the object by any criteria by e.g. LINQ
and then serialize the sorted object to a new XML file.

First of all you must generate a class from a sample XML file
by using XSD tool.

Please read this for deserialization:

Please read this for serialization:
