If you definitely, absolutely, uncomprimisingly *have* to have the elementFormDefault attribute appear last in the <xsd:schema> element's start tag, then you should start using a language that constructs serialized XML rather than one that constructs logical XML. In XML, the order of attributes within a tag makes absolutely no difference to any application that reads the tag. As far as any XML parser is concerned, the two start tags that you give above are exactly the same. So from an XML application's point of view, insisting on a particular ordering for attributes is completely unnecessary. XSLT is an XML application, and assumes that the XML it generates will be read by XML applications. So there's nothing in XSLT that will allow you to create an element whose attributes appear in a particular order. Thus, if you want the attributes to appear in a particular order, you have to construct the serialized XML document that you want as a string. You *could* do this with XSLT, but only by setting the output method to 'text', and doing away with all the nice XML-generating features that XSLT gives you (for example, ensuring that the XML you generate is well-formed). I really wouldn't recommend doing it. Cheers, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
