Can you transform unordered xml to match an xsd:sequence order?

Question

Hi i need to transform unorderd xml using xslt to the correct order as specified in an xsd schema

Answer 1

This may not be the best way, but it seems to work ok. I'm not sure if the order that the xs:element's are processed is guaranteed though. Also, this is an XSLT 2.0 answer tested with Saxon-HE 9.3.0.5 in oXygen.

XML Input (modified the case of Person to match the schema):

External XSD Schema file (schema.xsd):

XSLT 2.0 Stylesheet:

XML Output:

   1234567890
   The BFG
   
5

Hope this helps.
