Sort a table fast by its first column with Javascript or jQuery

Question

I have a table which is dynamically populated from FullCalendar. The problem is that FullCalendar does not care about its original order.

Try an approach like this: http://jsfiddle.net/qh6JE/

var rows = $('#caltbl > tbody').children('tr').get(); // creates a JS array of DOM elements
rows.sort(function(a, b) {  // use a custom sort function
    var anum = parseInt($(a).find(".sortnr").text(), 10);
    var bnum = parseInt($(b).find(".sortnr").text(), 10);
    return anum-bnum;
});
for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {  // .append() will move them for you
    $('#caltbl > tbody').append(rows[i]);
}
