Non-continuous nodes are sorted separately

<xml>
	<tag name=3D'E'>
	<tag name=3D'D'>
	<tag name=3D'C'>
	<breakit/>
	<tag name=3D'B'>
	<tag name=3D'A'>
</xml>

Save the above then run 'xmlsort -r tag -k @name $filename'.
The output is:

<xml>
	<tag name=3D'C'>
	<tag name=3D'D'>
	<tag name=3D'E'>
	<breakit/>
	<tag name=3D'A'>
	<tag name=3D'B'>
</xml>

I think it should be=20

<xml>
	<tag name=3D'A'>
	<tag name=3D'B'>
	<tag name=3D'C'>
	<tag name=3D'D'>
	<tag name=3D'E'>
	<breakit/>
</xml>

Though <breakit/> could be anywhere - the important thing is there is
one group sorted, not two.

Hi,

this is documented behaviour. From the XML::Filter::Sort manual page:

Only lists of contiguous record elements will be sorted.  A list of
records which has a 'foreign body' (a non-record element,
non-whitespace text, a comment or a processing instruction) between two
elements will be treated as two separate lists and each will be sorted
in isolation of the other.

I'm closing the bug for now. If you think that the behaviour should be
changed, please comment. I will then reopen the bug and forward the
request to the upstream author.

Thanks,
