<magicdraw>
<diagram>
<fragment>
<message id="AA22"/>
<message id="AF32"/>
<message id="CD52"/>
<combinedfragment id="LL43"/>
</fragment>
</diagram>
</magicdraw>

I wanna change it to:

<magicdraw>
<diagram>
<fragment>
<message id="AA22"/>
<combinedfragment id="LL43"/>
<message id="AF32"/>
<message id="CD52"/>

You can simply iterate through your list box items, identify the corresponding 'node' element and AppendChild it, that way you should end up with the proper order as doing AppendChild on a node already inserted somewhere moves it around and you would move any node to its proper position:

XmlDocument nodeDoc = new XmlDocument();
linksDoc.Load(Server.MapPath("App_Data/Node.xml"));


foreach (ListItem li in lb1.Items)
{
  string itemId = li.Value;

  XmlNode node = doc.SelectSingleNode(string.Format("/root/node[@id = '{0}']", itemId));
  if (node != null)
  {
    node.ParentNode.AppendChild(node);
  }
}
