Alphabetize a list using JS or jQuery

Question

I\'m trying to take the contents of a list, that is not in alphabetical order, then by adding each item to an array, sort them into alphabetical order and insert them back i

Answer 1

Adjust id to className at .alphabet element to prevent duplicate ids in document.

You can use String.prototype.split() with "" as parameter, Array.prototype.sort(), .text()

var li = $(".alphabet"), text = li.text().split("").sort();

li.text(function(index) {
  return text[index]
})
