I'd guess it's because arguments isn't really an array (it has a length
property, but none of
Array's methods).
Something like this might do the trick:
jQuery.fn.sort = function() {
for(var i = 0, args = []; i < arguments.length; i++)
args.push(i);
return this.pushStack( [].sort.apply( this, args ), []);
};
