Javascript is very good at manipulation the Browser objects, sucks at sort
algorthims. It lacks Hash tables ect. The best you get is an array. The
loose types with Java script do not lend them selfs to a sort algorthim.
You end up comparing 00000101 as a string type.
If its a simple reordering and not a true sort you may be able to get away
with it.
I would suggest a Java Server page if it's not very much. A servlet if you
really need performance.
