maintaining format with xmlwrite

I am able to read an XML file, search for element by tag name, make my changes, but when I use xmlwrite my format changes. For example, all of the skipped lines are removed and the order of the tag names are flipped. For example, after a certain tag name, Number = "1" Name = "R", it will show Name = "R" Number = "1". Does anyone know how maintain the format of an XML file after changing some of the information in it?

This is not the purpose of the XML format. The parser must have the power to reorder the tags. Matlab's parser orders them alphabetically.
If you really want to conserve the order of tags, you treat the file as a text file, not as an XML object. Then the best idea it to omit the power of the XML format and perform simple text operations with the file. This hurts the idea of XML massively, but if it is your intention, do it.
