How to rearrange elements using jQuery ?
Orginal Code :
<p id="paragraph1">1</p>
<p id="paragraph2">2</p>
<p id="paragraph3">3</p>
<p id="paragraph4">4</p>
<p id="paragraph5">5</p>
After Rearrange (put p3 in p2's place)
<p id="paragraph1">1</p>
<p id="paragraph3">3</p>
<p id="paragraph2">2</p>
<p id="paragraph4">4</p>
<p id="paragraph5">5</p>
You can use .insertBefore():
$("#paragraph3").insertBefore("#paragraph2");
Slightly more elaborate example (clicking on a paragraph moves it up):
$("p").click(function() {
$(this).insertBefore($(this).prev());
});
