Question

I have a navigation menu with 12 items:

(firebug inspector with one list item expanded)

<ul id="forums">
<li>
<a rel="bookmark" title="Permalink to Business" href="http://www.taiwantalk.org/forum/business/">Business</a>
</li>
<li>
<li>
<li>
<li>
<li>
<li>
<li>
<li>
<li>
<li>
<li>
</ul>

I would like to sort them manually with CSS/jQuery (sorting them just once, not dragging them around).

Any suggestions?

EDIT:

I’m using WordPress, and I can’t find the way of sorting ‘custom post types’ manually.

How about this? (I used it myself)
