My advice is to use the wonderful encyclopedia available to you called
"The Internet".
I went to Google and typed in: sort xml AS3
The first 4 results have the exact code you need to do this.

Hey All!
I have a weird xml sorting question. I'm retrieving a folder
hierarchy and displaying it in flex using a tree (yes yes, flex, but
it's an actionscript question). However, I'm requested to make the
results alphabetical. So that's either XSL server-side, or sort the
results in actionscript.
I was able to put together actionscript to sort the top level of XML
(by creating objects in an array, sorting the array by the
attribute, then creating a new xml based on the array), but figuring
out the recursion to sort each of its children is... driving me
nuts. Do any of you have advice on sorting hierarchical xml data?
XML is like this:
<node label="RootDir">
<node label="firstdir"></node>
<node label="seconddir"></node>
<node label="thirddir">
<node label="subdir1">
<node label="subdir2">
<node label="subdir3">
</node>
</node>
I can show my sortXML code if you have any q's.
