The way I would do it would be:
Timer t = new Timer() {
public void run() {
// do one pass of the sort
}
};
// Schedule the timer to run once in 5 seconds.
t.schedule(interval);
where interval is how frequently you wish to animate.
Remeber - javascript is single threaded. There is no sleep mechanism.
