How to group all elements in a specified range in text file?  
  
I want to group list items based on text/characters present in between <li>  
tags   
found within <ul> tag (no line breaks here) 
  
Here I want to group based on length if Product or Care is found within that  
<li> tag   
and push it to the first after beginning of <ul> tag
Input Sample:
<ul><li>Pallet contents</li><li>Length  
: 100cm</li><li>Superb Product</li> 
<li>200 mm width</li><li>Handle with  
Care</li><li>The height is 20 cm;  
breadth; 10  cm</li><li>Discount  
Sale</li></ul>
