Overview of the problem

In jQuery, the order in which you bind a handler is the order in which they will be executed if you are binding to the same element.

For example:

$('#div1').bind('click',function(){
// code runs first
}); 

$('#div1').bind('click',function(){
// code runs second
});

But what if I want the 2nd bound code to run first?

My current solution

Currently, my solution is to modify the event queue:

$.data(domElement, 'events')['click'].unshift({
                            type : 'click',
                            guid : null,
                            namespace : "",
                            data : undefined,
                            handler: function() {
                                // code
                            }
                        });

.

Question

Is there anything potentially wrong with my solution?

Can I safely use null as a value for the guid?

Thanks in advance.
