Order of elements under a node is not mentioned, which create csv with mis-order entry?

[urwithajit9]

A XML node will have fix number of elements and they can be in order from one node to another node. If during conversion a fixed order is not used then the output csv will have mis-matched values. if XML don't have XSD then well formed XML can have elements in any order among different node. During conversion, we can control the output order of elements and hence the csv will write values under header fields. for example, below example have same elements but order are different but in a output csv value must match with appropriate header field.

Ah yes, this is something that needs fixing.

Does xml2csv respect XSD?

I have a situation when not only fields can have different order, but also may not present in some records:

  <item>
    <title>Empire Burlesque</title>
    <note>Special Edition</note>
    <quantity>1</quantity>
    <price>10.90</price>
  </item>
  <item>
    <title>Hide your heart</title>
    <quantity>1</quantity>
    <price>9.90</price>
  </item>
