You can use dataset
property which stores all of the custom data-*
attributes of an element, it returns a string, in case that you want to convert the string to a number you can use parseInt
or +
operator.
$('.clist div').sort(function(a,b) {
return a.dataset.sid > b.dataset.sid;
}).appendTo('.clist');
And your own code also work: http://jsfiddle.net/f5mC9/
Edit: Please note that IE10! and below do not support the .dataset
property, if you want to support all browsers you can use jQuery’s .data()
method instead:
$('.clist div').sort(function(a,b) {
return $(a).data('sid') > $(b).data('sid');
}).appendTo('.clist');
