Rearrange xml elements.

[newguy]

I was wondering, is there a way to rearrange the elements of an xml file? And also, even when they have child nodes? Via code? (VB.Net 2008)

<main>
  <x1 />
  <x2>
    <y1 />
  </x2>
  <x3 />
</main>

to:

<main>
  <x1 />
  <x3 />
  <x2>
    <y1 />
  </x2>
</main>

Dim doc As New Xml.XmlDocument
doc.Load(filename)
Dim root = doc.DocumentElement
root.AppendChild(root.SelectSingleNode("x2"))
doc.Save(filename)

Thanks JohnH, that works great and gives me more ideas.
