Question

I am using a jQuery Multi-Friend Selector form this site;
http://mike.brevoort.com/2010/08/10/introducing-the-jquery-facebook-multi-friend-selector-plugin/

And it works great for what i need, except it does not sort the friends alphabetically. I have isolated where the friends are being pulled from facebook, but have no clue how to sort them. Any ideas?

FB.api('/me/friends', function(response) {
    $.each(response.data, function(i, friend) {
      $("#jfmfs-friend-container").append("<div class='jfmfs-friend' id='" + friend.id  +"'><img src='https://graph.facebook.com/" + friend.id + "/picture' /><div class='friend-name'>" + friend.name + "</div></div>");
    });
  init();
});

Thanks everyone

Just so everyone benefit. I sorted the names by using this code;

function sortByName(a, b) {
    var x = a.name.toLowerCase();
    var y = b.name.toLowerCase();
    return ((x < y) ? -1 : ((x > y) ? 1 : 0));
}

FB.api('/me/friends', function(response) {        
   _friend_data = response.data.sort(sortByName);
   $.each(response.data, function(i, friend) {
    $("#jfmfs-friend-container").append("<div class='jfmfs-friend' id='" + friend.id  +"'><img src='https://graph.facebook.com/" + friend.id + "/picture' /><div class='friend-name'>" + friend.name + "</div></div>");
    });
    init();
});
