How to order (sort) a list with numeric content?

Answer 1

Below should do the trick:

$(function() {
  $('button').click(function() {
    var liContents = [];
    $('ul li').each(function() {
      liContents.push(parseInt($(this).text(), 10));
    });
    liContents.sort(numOrdDesc);
    $('ul li').each(function() {
      $(this).text(liContents.pop());
    });
  });
});

function numOrdDesc(a, b) {
  return (b - a);
}
