SortSelect.jquery.js

var SortSelect = function(select) {
    var options = jQuery.makeArray(select.find('option'));
        
    var sorted = options.sort(function(a, b) {
        return (jQuery(a).text() > jQuery(b).text()) ? 1 : -1;
    });
        
    select.append(jQuery(sorted))
          .attr('selectedIndex', 0);
