Assuming you mean the data inside is different order and you want to compare the files but disregard the order differences..

One options is to run an XSL transformation on both XML files to reorder the nodes based on a sub node. Then run the comparison on the results of the transformation.

You can use the xsl:sort function to do the reordering:

An example of which can be found here: xsl:sort with apply-templates not sorting
