There's no significance to the order of attributes in XML - `` is the same as ``. – Ian Roberts Mar 19 '14 at 09:29

I have a quite similar problem. I need to have always the same attribute for first. Example :
<h50row a="1" xidx="1" c="1"></h50row>
<h50row a="2" b="2" xidx="2"></h50row>
must become
<h50row xidx="1" a="1" c="1"></h50row>
<h50row xidx="2" a="2" b="2"></h50row>
I found a solution with a regex:
test = "<h50row a=\"1\" xidx=\"1\" c=\"1\"></h50row>";
test = test.replaceAll("(<h5.*row)(.*)(.xidx=\"\\w*\")([^>]*)(>)", "$1$3$2$4$5");
Hope you find this usefull
