[jdom-interest] Sorting Question

[kevin.schmidt at convergys.com]

I would like to have my XML file sorted in alphanumeric order by a given
attribute.
I would like to sort Artists and Albums by their name attribute, so, for
example,

<Artist name="Metallic">
     <Album name="Master of Puppets"/>
     <Album name="Load"/>
</Artist>
<Artist name="Aerosmith">
     <Album name="Toys in the Attic"/>
     <Album name="Draw the Line"/>
</Artist>

would become:

<Artist name="Aerosmith">
     <Album name="Draw the Line"/>
     <Album name="Toys in the Attic"/>
</Artist>
<Artist name="Metallic">
     <Album name="Load"/>
     <Album name="Master of Puppets"/>
</Artist>

I was thinking of using the Comparable interface for the Element class, but
it seems like a lot of work and am wondering if there is an easier way.
