(not tables)<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Hello all,<BR><BR>I've been using jQuery for
a month or so now and am really enjoying it!<BR><BR>I haven't been able to
figure out how to sort a collection of elements. I have something like the
following:<BR><BR><div class="entry"><span
class="foo">foo1</span><span
class="bar">bar1</span></div <BR><div class="entry"><span
class="foo">foo2</span><span
class="bar">bar2</span></div<BR><BR>I would like to be able to do
something like:<BR><BR>$('.entry').sort(function(a, b) { return $('.foo', a).text()-$('.foo', b).text(); }).appendTo('#sortedStuff');<BR><BR>Or
something like that. I know javascript has a sort function, but that's for
arrays, so I'm not sure how that will work with jQuery? Also, a google search
for 'jquery sort' (no quotes), brings up some stuff about sorting in the jQuery code, but it appears old and I can't find anything about sorting in the
latest release. <BR><BR>Lastly, jQarray.js seems like it would do what I want,
but it appears that site is gone (taking jXs with it, btw). It would be nice
if plugins were cached on the jQuery site. Anybody have
jQarray/jXs?<BR><BR>Thanks, <BR>Erik<BR></BLOCKQUOTE><FONT SIZE=3><BR>
