jQuery Sort list elements using jQuery

This little script allows you to sort items in a list or any similar dom-based structure using jQuery.

$(function(){
	var a = [];
	var o = {}
	var ls = $('#sortme'); 
	var sl = document.createElement('ul'); 
 
	$('#sortme').find('li').each(function(){
		var t = $(this).text(); 
		a.push(t);			
		o[t] = this; 
	})
 
	a.sort(); 
 
	for (var i = 0; i<a.length; i++) $(sl).append(o[a[i]]); 
 
	ls.html(sl.innerHTML);
})
