Is there a way to use preserveOrder selectively?

I only want to use preserve order for a single XML element. Right now I am doing the following:

preserveOrder: (name, jpath, isLeafNode, isAttribute) => {
  return 'description' === name || jpath.includes('description');
},

It's not working because preserveOrder is expecting a boolean:

type X2jOptions = {
  preserveOrder: boolean;
  ...
};

Is there a way to use preserveOrder selectively?

We also need this one desperately. We're reading CAMT bank statements, and it seems that some select banks don't offer any information in the data relating to the order of the transactions, but they have chosen to utilize the order in the XML they produce.

Can you make this happen in version 5 @amitguptagwl ?

v5 supports Output Builder. As every project is unique their need can be unique. So I've created 3 common output builders required by most of the projects. But any project can modify them for their specific need. I believe that should fulfill the gape.

I've recently released flexible-xml-parser to handle buffer input, stream input, stream output etc. And it handles project level customization.
