Sorting childnodes by node name

[Former Community Member]

Hi,

I'm looking a way to get hold of the child nodes in the order of the node names using any API. The oob api getNodes doesnt have any overloaded method which i can use to sort the child nodes using node name. i stumbled upon the BTreeManager, but not sure if that can be used for that purpose.

I can write something up but wanted to check if anyone knows of any API's which can be used for this?

Thanks.

According to this topic -- you can perform this task using XPath:
