Yeah, I found that post this weekend and put it in my "good for the faq" 
folder.  The code was pretty complicated though because of your efforts 
to preserve the interspersed whitespace.  If you're willing to blow away 
whitespace (and let it get added again on output perhaps) it should be 
pretty straightforward.  Get child elements, sort, set them as the new 
content.  Both approaches have the problem that comments and PIs are 
hard to handle.
