Add sorting ability to jQuery

Self-explanatory :)

jQuery.fn.sort = function() {
return this.pushStack( jQuery.makeArray( [].sort.apply( this, arguments ) ) );
};

See here for an explanation on custom sorting in JavaScript.

    Ninja! And I thought I wrote terse code…

    Just wondering whether you need the literal array in there…

    Array.prototype.sort? I’m rusty so couldn’t quite follow the scoping of the nested this keyword.

    It’s a while, but I seem to recall it wouldn’t work without the literal array. Feel free to play?
