Sorting dropdown list using Javascript

Question

i want to sort the drop down items using javascript,can anyone tell me how to do this.

Answer 1

You could use jQuery and something like this:

$("#id").html($("#id option").sort(function (a, b) {     return a.text == b.text ? 0 : a.text < b.text ? -1 : 1 })) 

But it's probably better to ask why and what you're trying to accomplish.
