move up/down in jquery

Question

I Have 5 spans i am trying to move them up/down (swap positions) in jquery

Up! 
Down!         


        

Answer 1

That's because you're telling a span to go before the next span (i.e., stay the same). Try using insertBefore on a previous or insertAfter with a next.

EDIT Try this on for size: http://jsfiddle.net/eJk3R/
