doing an export an swapping the two positions is really easy. You even
don't have to know what XML is. Simply keep all the lines you don't know
what they mean and swap position in the "data" lines. A data line looks
like:

<!-- 2004-07-21 02:00:00 CEST / 1090368000 --> <row><v> 3.0291166667e+02
</v><v> 1.3062150000e+03 </v></row>

if you would like to do it with an awk-script this should do it for a
rrd with in/out:

# begin script
#
# look for data rows, $9 and $11 are the data values. Just swap, the go
to next line.
/<!--.*row/     {

        s=$9; $9=$11; $11=s; print; next;
}

# If not a data line, just print
{       print   }
#
# end script
