jQuery :not() issue

Question

jQuery 1.4:

$('#menu li:last:not(.ignore)').addClass('last');

HTML:

<div id="menu">
    <ul>
        <li>item 1</li>
        <li>item 2</li>
        <li class="ignore">item3</li>
    </ul>
</div>

.. last class is not applied to item 2. What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks

Change the order of :last and :not():

$('#menu li:not(.ignore):last')
