Try this.

        $(document).ready(function()
        {
            var myarray=new Array();               
            $("select option").each(function()
            {
                myarray.push({value:this.value, optiontext:$(this).text()});
            });

            myarray.sort(sortfun);
            $newHmtl="";
            for(var i=0;i"+myarray[i]['optiontext']+"";
            }
            $("select").html($newHmtl);
        });            


        function sortfun(a,b) 
        {
            a = a['value'];
            b = b['value'];                
            return a == b ? 0 : (a < b ? -1 : 1)
        }
