Change index order of attributes of a DOMNamedNodeMap?

Hi,
Using DOMBuilder to parse a file, is there a setting or feature that can change the order of the attributes in a DOMNamedNodeMap, so they are in the order they appear in the XML file? Currently, it appears the attributes are in some kind of alphabetical order. 
Thanks,
Greg

No.  Attributes are explicitly unordered in XML, so you'll either have to 
sort them yourself, or change your application so the order doesn't matter. 
  I recommend the latter.
