This is what I posted, but it's not what I typed. I entered some very long
lines at the console, and the newsgroup software, when wrapping the text,
prefixed it with '>>>', not '...'. So this looks like something that wont
run.

Here's the console session, with '...' continuation lines:
>>> xmlsrc = """<booga foo="1" bar="2">
... <well>hello</well>
... <blah>goodbye</blah>
... </booga>
... """
>>> import xml.dom.minidom
>>> doc = xml.dom.minidom.parseString(xmlsrc)
>>> print doc.toprettyxml()
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<booga bar="2" foo="1">
<well>
hello
</well>
<blah>
goodbye
</blah>
</booga>
>>> [n.nodeName for n in doc.childNodes]
[u'booga']
>>> [n.nodeName for n in doc.childNodes[0].childNodes]
['#text', u'well', '#text', u'blah', '#text']
>>> [n.nodeName for n in doc.childNodes[0].childNodes
... if n.nodeType == doc.ELEMENT_NODE]
[u'well', u'blah']
>>> doc.childNodes[0].childNodes = sorted(
... doc.childNodes[0].childNodes,key=lambda n:n.nodeName)
>>> [n.nodeName for n in doc.childNodes[0].childNodes
... if n.nodeType == doc.ELEMENT_NODE]
[u'blah', u'well']
>>> print doc.toprettyxml()
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<booga bar="2" foo="1">
<blah>
goodbye
</blah>
<well>
hello
</well>
</booga>
>>> doc.childNodes[0].childNodes = sorted(
... [n for n in doc.childNodes[0].childNodes
... if n.nodeType==doc.ELEMENT_NODE],
... key=lambda n:n.nodeName)
>>> print doc.toprettyxml()
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<booga bar="2" foo="1">
<blah>
goodbye
</blah>
<well>
hello
</well>
</booga>
