Hi everybody

I would like to change tag order in my xml file... based on the tag <order>
for example I have xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<list>
<material>
<title>Something 2</title>
<order>2</order>
</material>
<material>
<title>Something 3</title>
<order>3</order>
</material>
<material>
<title>Something 1</title>
<order>1</order>
</material>
</list>

and after some action script actions I would like to get something like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<list>
<material>
<title>Something 1</title>
<order>1</order>
</material>
<material>
<title>Something 2</title>
<order>2</order>
</material>
<material>
<title>Something 3</title>
<order>3</order>
</material>
</list>

anyone can help me???

var xml:XML = <list>
<material>
<title>Something 2</title>
<order>2</order>
</material> 
<material>
<title>Something 3</title>
<order>3</order>
</material> 
<material>
<title>Something 1</title>
<order>1</order>
</material> 
</list>;

var arr:Array = [];
for each(var mat in xml.material) arr.push({node:mat,order:mat.order});
arr.sortOn("order");

var newXML:XML = <list></list>;
for(var i:int=0;i<arr.length;i++) newXML.appendChild(arr[i].node);

trace(newXML);

thanks a lot... that was exacly what I was lookin' for
and one more question how should I modify Your code to do something like that:

when the order node is empty it should be placed at the end of queue... example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<list>
<material>
<title>Something 3</title>
<order>3</order>
</material>
<material>
<title>Something empty</title>
<order></order>
</material>
<material>
<title>Something 2</title>
<order>2</order>
</material>
</list>

and the result should be

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<list>
<material>
<title>Something 2</title>
<order>2</order>
</material>
<material>
<title>Something 3</title>
<order>3</order>
</material>
<material>
<title>Something empty</title>
<order></order>
</material>
</list>

change this:

arr.push({node:mat,order:mat.order}); 

to this:

arr.push({node:mat,order:mat.order.toString()||Infinity});

ok one more thing hopefully the last one...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<list>
<material>
<title>Ewolucja smoczych jajEwolucja smoczych jajEwolucja smoczych jajEwolucja smoczych jajEwolucja smoczych jajEwolucja smoczych jajEwolucja smoczych jaj</title>
<order>10</order>
</material>
<material>
<title>Eastwood za kamer</title>
<order></order>
</material>
</list>

if my title tag has above 40chars I would like to replace him into this tag first 40characters and then three dots... I have something like this I have almost everything but I don't know how two replace tag

for each (var property:XML in newXML.material)
{
    var titleXML:String = String(property.title);
    if (titleXML.length > 40)
    {
        var shortenTitleXML:String =  titleXML.substr(0,39);
        var shortenTitleXMLDots:String = shortenTitleXML + "...";

        //and know the replacement

    }
}

for each (var property:XML in newXML.material) 
{ 
    var titleXML:String = String(property.title); 
    if (titleXML.length > 40) 
    { 
        var shortenTitleXML:String =  titleXML.substr(0,39); 
        var shortenTitleXMLDots:String = shortenTitleXML + "..."; 

        // add this
       property.title = shortenTitleXMLDots;
    } 
}
