Davis,
This problem is actually quite straightforward in XSLT, using an application of the "identity stylesheet" pattern, which works by traversing the document through the usual recursive descent and copying the input to the result as it goes. Your only difference is that you will sort your elements as you descend. So here's an identity template, one or another variant of which is common to this family of solutions: <xsl:template match="*">
<!-- matches any element -->
<xsl:copy>
<!-- copies the element -->
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<!-- copies its attributes, if any -->
<xsl:apply-templates/>
<!-- apply templates to the children -->
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>And here is a modification of it that does what you want: <xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates>
<!-- apply templates to the children, writing results in
order sorted by name and @typename of the input -->
<xsl:sort select="name()"/>
<xsl:sort select="@typename"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>Note: untested. But try that as the single template in your stylesheet and see what happens.
