Question

I have several objects listening for a change event, but I need them to fire off in a designated order.

Is it possible to customize the bubble order of several binded objects in jQuery?

Answer 1

Unfortunately no, you cannot customize event bubble order.

To achieve the effect you desire, I would recommend jQuery custom events.

Example:

$("#YOURELEMENT").trigger('CUSTOMEVENT'); //create a new custom event
$("#YOURELEMENT2").bind('CUSTOMEVENT',function(e){ ... }); //listen for new custom event

Here’s a good tutorial on it.
