*  Add the customer_id element just before the "price_list" element.

*  Get the "order_billing_info" element
loOrderBillingInfo = loXml.FindChild("order_billing_info")

*  Call NewChildBefore to add an XML element <customer_id> before <price_list>
*  First get the index of the element price_list

*  Add the "customer_id" element just before specified index.
