But then what exactly is document.forms["myForm"].elements["formElement"]? I suppose they might be custom collections, but they're not even mentioned in my copy of the Javascript Bible (admittedly it's pretty old).
Assuming you can actually make an associative array (for which I can't find a constructor in the documentation mentioned above) and you want to sort by name, you'd have to write your own function to do it, which isn't difficult.
Here's a function skeleton for you to fill in the blanks:
function SortArrayByKey(array)
{
// extract all the keys into a separate array// sort the array of keys
// create a new empty array the same size as your original array
// loop through the array of sorted keys
// at each index of the sorted loop, assign the value of the original array with the current key to the new array
}

How do we sort an associate array such as var name=new Array(); name["name1"]="City1"; name["name2"]="City2";
How do we sort this array by names?
