I have an xml with following structure

<xml> 
<object context="3-cumulative" > 
  <metadata> 
    <ref cite="4.2" relevance="first.2"/> 
  </metadata> 
<body> 
   <para> 
      <text>  
             applicable on and after December 14,2007. 
      </text> 
   </para> 
 </body> 
</object> 

 <object context="1-cumulative" > 
  <metadata> 
    <ref cite="4.2" relevance="first.1"/> 
  </metadata> 
<body> 
   <para> 
     <text>  
       applicable on and after December 14,2006. 
     </text> 
   </para> 
</body> 
 </object> 


   <object context="1-cumulative" > 
   <metadata> 
      <related-content-ref cite="5 annuity" relevance="first.1"/> 
   </metadata> 
  <body> 
    <para> 
      <text> 
         applicable on and after December 14, 2008 
      </text> 
     </para> 
   </body> 
  </object> 


   <mainbody> 
        <num cite="4.2">4.2</num> 
        <num cite="2" type="para">2</num> 
        <heading>Stock exchanges</heading> 
        <prov-body> 
          <text> 
              Notwithstanding the provisions of a convention ... as defined in the 
              <italic>Income Tax Act</italic>. 
          </text> 
            <prov> 
              <num cite="1 annuity"/> 
              <num cite="5 annuity"/> 
              <num cite="3 annuity"/> 

                 <heading>“annuity”</heading> 
                <text> 
                <term>“annuity”</term>does not include any pension payment ... 
                </text> 
               <text> 
                 any pension payment ... 
               </text> 
           </prov> 
       </prov-body> 
      </mainbody> 
    </xml>

I need, if any object/metadata/ref/@cite has been found in “mainbody” num/@cite and object/@context is ‘1-cumulative’ then para/text from object should copy at the end of first Text node and should be sort by object/metadata/ref/@relevance or if any object/metadata/ref/@cite has been found in “mainbody” num/@cite and object/@context is ‘3-cumulative’ then para/text from object should copy after the first Text node with it’s own Text elemet and should be sort by object/metadata/ref/@relevance

The output should be:

<xml> 
 <mainbody> 
 <num cite="4.2">4.2</num> 
 <num cite="2" type="para">2</num> 
 <heading>Stock exchanges</heading> 
 <prov-body> 
  <text> 
    Notwithstanding the provisions of a convention ... as defined in the 
    <italic>Income Tax Act</italic>. 
    **applicable on and after December 14, 2006** 
  </text> 
  <text>   **applicable on and after December 14, 2007** </text>

 <prov> 
        <num cite="1 annuity"/> 
        <num cite="5 annuity"/> 
        <num cite="3 annuity"/> 
        <heading>“annuity”</heading> 
        <text> 
        <term>“annuity”</term>does not include any pension payment ... 
         **applicable on and after December 14, 2008** 
        </text> 
        <text> 
        any pension payment ... 
       </text> 
   </prov> 
  </prov-body> 
 </mainbody> 
</xml>
