Nothing in the SaxParser itself will do that for you : informations are 
given to the callbacks as soon as they are parsed.
If you need to reorder the informations, keep them in memory and do what 
you need when you got everything you need.
However for this task I suggest you use DomParser : your file is small, 
and you will not have to code data manipulations. Unless of course you 
want to practice.

If you just want to transform your file into formatted text or html, you 
can have a look to XSLT.
