Dynamically reorder a multiple select dropdown 1

[mattquantic]

Hi. I am trying to write a script that can loop through the contents of a drop down list and reorder it alphabetically.

I can do the looping through. But I don't understand how I can filter it.

It's really easy in server side scripting, but I can't figure it in JS.

Do I loop through the existing dropdown and remove all the elements, then filter, then repopulate?

Can anyone help? Or show me an example of reordering an existing dropdown?

I'm really chuffed that the code works in Firefox without any errors to be honest
