Question

I have an XML document for which I want to sort specific nodes alphabetically.

XML document

<response>
    <lst name="facet_counts">
        <lst name="facet_fields">
            <lst name="professions_raw_nl">
                <int name="Pharmacy">2724</int>
                <int name="Physiotherapy">2474</int>
                <int name="Doctor">2246</int>
                <int name="Dentist">1309</int>
            </lst>  
        </lst>
    </lst>
</response> 

Desired output
Dentist (1309)
Doctor (2246)
Pharmacy (2724)
Physiotherapy (2474)

Current ASP.NET code

dim node as XmlNode = objXML.SelectSingleNode("response/lst[@name=""facet_counts""]/lst[@name=""facet_fields""]/lst[@name=""professions_raw_nl""]")
Dim sbuilder As New StringBuilder
Dim navigator As XPathNavigator = node.CreateNavigator()
Dim selectExpression As XPathExpression = navigator.Compile("???") <-- what expression should I use here ???
selectExpression.AddSort("????", XmlSortOrder.Ascending, XmlCaseOrder.None, "", XmlDataType.Text) <-- what expression should I use here ????
Dim nodeIterator As XPathNodeIterator = navigator.Select(selectExpression)
While nodeIterator.MoveNext()
    'how can I print the name and value of the node?
End While

Answer 1

Since all answers seem to work with Linq and I just wanted to use regular VB.NET I now added each node in an Arraylist and used the regular Array.Sort() on it.
Does the trick.
