You mean instead of Array.sort? Well, yes, because I'm not only interested in sorting DOM nodes in an array, I want to rearrange them in the DOM as well. So it's basically just a convenience plugin, wrapping Array.sort and performing the DOM rearrangements afterwards. My brief and cursory search of jQuery plugins turned up nothing of the sorts (heh), so I just wrote my own simple plugin.
