how to sort data xmldocument  with out reading data binto dataset in csharp.net 

1. Write an xsl that matches your xml, sorts them and had the sorted list as output
2. Get the XslCompiledTransform holding that xsl from cache, and if it doesn't exist, create it and insert into cache
3. Transform your xml through your xsl into a new XmlDocument

Code:

XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.Load(@"Input.xml");

XmlDocument xmlDocCopy = new XmlDocument();
xmlDocCopy.LoadXml(xmlDoc.OuterXml);
xmlDocCopy.SelectSingleNode("//Links").RemoveAll();

XmlNode node = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("//Links");
XPathNavigator navigator = node.CreateNavigator();
XPathExpression selectExpression = navigator.Compile("Link/Title");
selectExpression.AddSort(".", XmlSortOrder.Ascending, XmlCaseOrder.None, "", XmlDataType.Text);
XPathNodeIterator nodeIterator = navigator.Select(selectExpression);
while (nodeIterator.MoveNext())
{
    XmlNode linkNode = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("//Link[Title=\"" + nodeIterator.Current.Value + "\"]");
    XmlNode importedLinkNode = xmlDocCopy.ImportNode(linkNode, true);
    xmlDocCopy.SelectSingleNode("//Links").AppendChild(importedLinkNode);
}

xmlDocCopy.Save(@"Output.xml");

hi,

  u prefered this code for sorting of data in xml document.actually i dont know wat is navigator add y we useed navigator.compile in which situations we can use them.

Code:

XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.Load(@"Input.xml");

XmlDocument xmlDocCopy = new XmlDocument();
xmlDocCopy.LoadXml(xmlDoc.OuterXml);
xmlDocCopy.SelectSingleNode("//Links").RemoveAll();

XmlNode node = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("//Links");
XPathNavigator navigator = node.CreateNavigator();
XPathExpression selectExpression = navigator.Compile("Link/Title");
selectExpression.AddSort(".", XmlSortOrder.Ascending, XmlCaseOrder.None, "", XmlDataType.Text);
XPathNodeIterator nodeIterator = navigator.Select(selectExpression);
while (nodeIterator.MoveNext())
{
    XmlNode linkNode = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("//Link[Title=\"" + nodeIterator.Current.Value + "\"]");
    XmlNode importedLinkNode = xmlDocCopy.ImportNode(linkNode, true);
    xmlDocCopy.SelectSingleNode("//Links").AppendChild(importedLinkNode);
}

xmlDocCopy.Save(@"Output.xml");
