jQuery sort elements using data id

Answer 1

A more generic function to sort elements using jQuery:

$.fn.sortChildren = function (sortingFunction: any) {

    return this.each(function () {
        const children = $(this).children().get();
        children.sort(sortingFunction);
        $(this).append(children);
    });

};

Usage:

$(".clist").sortChildren((a, b) => a.dataset.sid > b.dataset.sid ? 1 : -1);
