Moving Ranged SDT before another Ranged SDT

I’m trying to move a ranged sdt (with id -653446606) before another sdt (with id 1766038418) with the following code on the attached file.

private void moveRangedSdtTest() throws Exception {
    // Load the document
    Document doc =
      new Document("C:\\temp_doc\\01 - Konzernlagebericht.docx");

    // Find the StructuredDocumentTagRangeStart (ranged SDT start)
    // Iterate through all StructuredDocumentTagRangeStart nodes in the document
    NodeCollection<Node> sdtRangeStarts = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.STRUCTURED_DOCUMENT_TAG_RANGE_START, true);

    StructuredDocumentTagRangeStart rangeStart = null;
    for (Node node : sdtRangeStarts) {
      StructuredDocumentTagRangeStart currentRangeStart = (StructuredDocumentTagRangeStart) node;

      // Check if the current node's ID matches the target ID
      if (currentRangeStart.getId() == -653446606) {
        rangeStart = currentRangeStart;
        break;
      }
    }

    StructuredDocumentTagRangeEnd rangeEnd = rangeStart.getRangeEnd();

    sdtRangeStarts = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.STRUCTURED_DOCUMENT_TAG_RANGE_START, true);
    StructuredDocumentTagRangeStart normalSdt = null;
    for (Node node : sdtRangeStarts) {
      StructuredDocumentTagRangeStart currentRangeStart = (StructuredDocumentTagRangeStart) node;

      // Check if the current node's ID matches the target ID
      if (currentRangeStart.getId() == 1766038418) {
        normalSdt = currentRangeStart;
        break;
      }
    }

    if (rangeStart != null && rangeEnd != null && normalSdt != null) {
      // Collect all nodes between rangeStart and rangeEnd, inclusive
      List<Node> nodesToMove = new LinkedList<>();
      Node currentNode = rangeStart;

      while (currentNode != null) {
        nodesToMove.add(currentNode);

        if (currentNode.equals(rangeEnd)) {
          break;
        }

        currentNode = currentNode.getNextSibling();
      }

      // Insert the collected nodes before the normal SDT
      for (Node node : nodesToMove) {
        normalSdt.getParentNode().insertBefore(node.deepClone(true), normalSdt);
      }

      // Remove the original nodes
      for (Node node : nodesToMove) {
        node.remove();
      }
    }

    // Save the modified document
    doc.save("C:\\temp_doc\\01 - Konzernlagebericht_moved.docx");

  }

The result is not as expected. This will move the content control but then the others will be included in it. What am I doing wrong.

Thanks in advance.

@ernestocastellano Please try using the following code:

Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\in.docx");

// get structured document tags.
IStructuredDocumentTag source = null;
IStructuredDocumentTag target = null;
for (IStructuredDocumentTag tag : doc.getRange().getStructuredDocumentTags())
{
    if (tag.getId() == -653446606)
        source = tag;
    if (tag.getId() == 1766038418)
        target = tag;
}

// Get child nodes of the source SDT.
Node[] children = source.getChildNodes(NodeType.ANY, false).toArray();
// Move SDT start and end
StructuredDocumentTagRangeStart start = (StructuredDocumentTagRangeStart)source.getNode();
StructuredDocumentTagRangeEnd end = start.getRangeEnd();

target.getNode().getParentNode().insertBefore(start, target.getNode());
target.getNode().getParentNode().insertBefore(end, target.getNode());

// Move child nodes.
for (Node node : children)
    end.getParentNode().insertBefore(node, end);

doc.save("C:\\Temp\\out.docx");

It works perfectly. Thanks!
