    "XML Sorted" and "XML sorted and tidied"

    I need to sort the nodes in XML files before comparing. So I added XML Sorted. But it didn't sort nodes in simple xml files. For example
    <root>
    <b>b</b>
    <a>a</a>
    </root>

    should be

    <root>
    <a>a</a>
    <b>b</b>
    </root>

    Then I tried using XML sorted and tidied also. It also didn't sort the elements but other things like indentation was applied.

    http://www.scootersoftware.com/downl...oreformats_alt says that "XML Sorted" and "XML sorted and tidied" sort nodes Alphanumerically. But why it doesn't work for this type of XML files?

      Sorry for the delay. I have been comparing our current xslt results with koen's example (from here: http://www.scootersoftware.com/vbull...ead.php?t=8130) to see if we can have a single, multipurpose xslt that works for a broad range of files. I am not familiar enough with the xslt format to make something like this quickly; our previous xslt conversions have been provided by helpful customers. In the meantime, if you are familiar with xslt, you can alter/edit the one the conversion process uses in the Beyond Compare 3\Helpers\HtmlTidy\ directory: XML_sorted.xslt

      Please post any helpful examples or information regarding an xslt that works for your example, and we'll definitely try to incorporate it.

          Thanks for your reply. For the moment I'm also not familiar with xslt. But I'll try to edit XML_sorted.xslt to work with any xml file.
