Subject: Ordering XML Attributes with Hpricot?

Hey,

Is there a way to organize/print out the xml attributes using Hpricot,
or do I have to run through the xml file again and replace patterns?

I would like to be able to say "put this attribute first, put this
attribute next ...", so I can say, I want this:

<node id="name" property="value"/>

not this:

<node property="value" id="name"/>

Since the attributes are kept in a hash there's no order to them, so
they appear in seemingly random order, but it's the same random order
consistently.

Any ideas how to do that?

And is there a way to say "after two attributes, make a new line".  So I
can print out xml that can be edited by humans like code.

Thanks,
Lance
