sort elements in jQuery object
- by Fresheyeball
<div class="myClass">1</div>
<div class="myClass">2</div>
<div class="myClass">3</div>
<div class="myClass">4</div>
<div class="myClass">5</div>
<div class="myClass">6</div>
var $myClass = $('.myClass');
$myClass.eq(0).text() //returns '1'
$myClass.eq(4).text() //returns '5'
$myClass.eq(5).text() //returns '6'
What I want to do is reorder the objects in jQuery manually.
//fantasy command reversing
$myClass.eqSorter([5,4,3,2,1,0]);
$myClass.eq(0).text() //returns '6'
$myClass.eq(5).text() //returns '1'
What I really want is to allow a fully custom order input
//fantasy command custom ordering
$myClass.eqSorter([3,5,4,2,0,1]);
$myClass.eq(0).text() //returns '4'
$myClass.eq(5).text() //returns '2'
Now I've looked at basic ways of doing this like .sort as a part of javascript, but .sort takes a dynamic argument the compares things, and does not allow for a fully custom order. I also looked at making a new blank jquery object that I could pass elements into like this $newObjectVar.eq(0) = $myClass.eq(3); for example. But as of yet I have not found a way to make a blank jQuery object like this.
