Hi all,
I am having a little difficulty on a project I'm working on.
I have made the DCT's and PT's, but now am having a little trouble with the generated XML code that comes from the DCT's. The problem is that all the elements under the root container are arranged alphabetically, rather than the way they were entered on the DCT form. Is there anyway to stop this?
Example, some simple XML that has been taken directly from the XML file generated by a DCT:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<body>
<title>heading1</title>
<subtitle>subheading1</subtitle>
<para><p><strong>bbbb</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><em>italics&nbsp;</em></p></para>
<graphic>
<caption>this is a flower.</caption>
<src>/tlc/images/sunflower.gif</src>
</graphic>
</body>
<head>
<abstract>This is a test chunk and this is the description</abstract>
<title>Test Chunk</title>
</head>
</root>
Note the body element comes BEFORE the head elements, whereas on the DCT it was the other way around. Also, on all other generated XML its doing the same thing, its arranging the children of root (no pun intended) alphabetically. Children on those elements body and head etc are ok though.
Is there a way to force the generated XML to be the correct order rather than alphabetically?
Thanks.
