Problem with SQL Server --- XML

I need to produce this XML structure (only fragment shown)

<Citizen citizenRef="1">
<Title>Rear Admiral Sir</Title>
<Forename>Horatio</Forename>
<Initials>A B</Initials>
<Surname>Nelson</Surname>
<DisplayName>Rear Admiral Sir Horatio Nelson</DisplayName>
<Gender>1</Gender>
<DateOfBirth>1979-10-20</DateOfBirth>
<Address>
<Line>HMS Victory</Line>
<Line>Victory Road</Line>
<Line>Portsmouth</Line>
<Line>Hampshire</Line>
<PostCode>HA1 1AA</PostCode>
</Address>
<Password>test</Password>
</Citizen>


I'm using a SQL server source and using XML explicit. SQL server insists on putting the address fragment at the end :-


<Citizen citizenRef="1">
<Title>Rear Admiral Sir</Title>
<Forename>Horatio</Forename>
<Initials>A B</Initials>
<Surname>Nelson</Surname>
<DisplayName>Rear Admiral Sir Horatio Nelson</DisplayName>
<Gender>1</Gender>
<DateOfBirth>1979-10-20</DateOfBirth>
<Password>test</Password>

<Address>
<Line>HMS Victory</Line>
<Line>Victory Road</Line>
<Line>Portsmouth</Line>
<Line>Hampshire</Line>
<PostCode>HA1 1AA</PostCode>
</Address>
</Citizen>[/COLOR]

The client howeever needs the Address to follow DateofBirth.

Can anyone advise as to how I can achieve this from SQL server (unfortunately the solution is needed yesterday)

THanx

Jeremy

The application that "consumes" this xml is badly written.

I know, had this argument with them with limited success.

He based his critique (failure notification) purely on the fact that it did not validate thru XML spy.

Validation is independent of the positioning!!!
However you should investigate why it is not validated, does it start with the proper declaration?

Anyway, if the client app uses dom and not string manipulation to parse XML, then it is independent of the positioning.
I've done some work with cross-platform XML and XSLT and I have to say that M$ parsers are a bit permissive while Apache's are more picky about declarations and syntax (but that's the right way of doing things).
Hope this helps!
