I was just reading that the XPath doesn't necessarily return the nodes back in any ordered way. Is that true? I need to make sure the order remains the same order as it is in the XML. What would cause the order to change? Is it not predictable?

Can you cite the source? I've done a reasonable amount of work with XSLT (which of course includes XPath) and have relied upon the fact that XSLT requires the return in document order (unless you've done a sort). Not quite the same as XPath proper (which has uses in other XML technologies) but I just assumed it would behave according to XSLT rules when used in that context.
