Can I re-order an existing XML to adhere to an XSD

Question

We\'re generating an XML with Java (org.w3c.dom.Node), using essentially

parent.appendChild(doc.createElement(nodeName));

this gen

Answer 1

I don't think something like that exists. Simple reordering might be possible, but XML-Schema allows to define so many constraints, that it might be impossible to write a general tool that converts some XML document into a valid document according to some schema.

So, just build the document correctly in the first place.
