            new XText("Text content."),
            new XElement("A1", "A1 content"),
            new XElement("A2", "A2 content"),
            new XElement("A3", "A3 content"),
            new XText("More text content."),
            new XElement("A4", "A4 content"),
            new XElement("A5", "A5 content")
        );
        XElement child3 = xmlTree.Element("A3");
        XElement child5 = xmlTree.Element("A5");
        if (child5.IsBefore(child3))
            Console.WriteLine("A5 is before A3");
