Need help sorting messages from Telegram out of chronological order

I exported a very long Telegram group chat and I'd like to sort them in a nested format by message/reply. In its normal state, its chronologically sorted, so if I reply to a message first posted 3 weeks ago, my reply will be no where near it. I want my reply to appear under the message I am replying to. In excel. I kind of found a way by stripping everything up to the Message # in the XML, but I ran into some issues. I'm sure one of you could figure it out in no time. Here's a snippet: Message 1: <div class="message default clearfix" id="message4217"> <div class="pull_left userpic_wrap"> <div class="userpic userpic1" style="width: 42px; height: 42px"> <div class="initials" style="line-height: 42px"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="body"> <div class="pull_right date details" title="29.03.2016 15:37:04"> 15:37 </div> <div class="from_name"> Deleted Account </div> <div class="text"> Does anyone have an idea? </div> </div> </div> Here's a reply (keep in mind this can occur dozens of messages later, and I need them to be resorted into order - the common link will be the "in reply to XX" tag - you can use this to sort): <div class="reply_to details"> In reply to <a href="#go_to_message4215" onclick="return GoToMessage(4217)">this message</a> </div> <div class="text"> I am filled with ideas </div> </div> </div>
