How may I sort a list alphabetically using jQuery?

Question

I\'m a bit out of my depth here and I\'m hoping this is actually possible.

I\'d like to be able to call a function that would sort all the items in my list alphabeti

@SolutionYogi's answer works like a charm, but it seems that using $.each is less straightforward and efficient than directly appending listitems :

var mylist = $('#list');
var listitems = mylist.children('li').get();

listitems.sort(function(a, b) {
   return $(a).text().toUpperCase().localeCompare($(b).text().toUpperCase());
})

mylist.empty().append(listitems);
