Question

I’m using jQuery Mobile. How can I create a button which changes the sort order of a list?

Answer 1

Place your data in a separate structure which you sort, e.g.

var mylist = new Array ();
mylist[0] = "entry A";
mylist[1] = "entry B";
....

From this, you can then dynamically populate your listview.

In the Button’s onclick event, you’ll have to do the following:

• Resort your data struct (mylist)
• clear the listview used to display the data
• Repopulate the listview from your updated data structure.

For more details on how to clear and repopulate list, see e.g. this SO question.
