jquery advanced sorting question

[Porsche_maniak]

Hi !
I am having problem doing this in php thats why my last hope is jquery.

Ok here's the problem :
I need to sort everything based on numbers.
I am amateur in Jquery so please give some script.

CURRENT:

<div id=incase>
<span class=top_ten_fav id=0>something(has numbers) (<span class=0>2</span>).</span><br />
<span class=top_ten_fav id=1>something(has numbers) (<span class=1>1</span>).</span><br />
<span class=top_ten_fav id=2>something(has numbers) (<span class=2>1</span>).</span><br />
<span class=top_ten_fav id=3>something(has numbers) (<span class=3>1</span>).</span><br />
<span class=top_ten_fav id=4>something(has numbers) (<span class=4>1</span>).</span><br />
<span class=top_ten_fav id=5>something(has numbers) (<span class=5>1</span>).</span><br />
<span class=top_ten_fav id=6>something(has numbers) (<span class=6>1</span>).</span><br />
<span class=top_ten_fav id=7>something(has numbers) (<span class=7>1</span>).</span><br />
<span class=top_ten_fav id=8>something(has numbers) (<span class=8>1</span>).</span><br />
<span class=top_ten_fav id=9>something(has numbers) (<span class=9>14</span>).</span><br />
<span class=top_ten_fav id=10>something(has numbers) (<span class=10>28</span>).</span><br />
<span class=top_ten_fav id=11>something(has numbers) (<span class=11>15</span>).</span><br />
<span class=top_ten_fav id=12>something(has numbers) (<span class=12>1</span>).</span><br /></div>

AND MORE...

OUTPUT NEEDED :

something(has numbers) (28).
something(has numbers) (15).
something(has numbers) (14).
something(has numbers) (2).
something(has numbers) (1).
something(has numbers) (1).
something(has numbers) (1).
something(has numbers) (1).
something(has numbers) (1).
something(has numbers) (1).

Classes and Ids are all editable(i just gave numbers to them so they can help?).

Pls help that's damn important (i lost 12 hours on pc about this)

If you want it done in php is the something a constant or each something is different?

[Porsche_maniak]

each something is different

here's the php code !

function directoryToArray($directory, $recursive) {
    $array_items = array();
    if ($handle = opendir($directory)) {
        while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
            if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
                if (is_dir($directory. "/" . $file)) {
                    if($recursive) {
                        $array_items = array_merge($array_items, directoryToArray($directory. "/" . $file, $recursive));
                    }
                    $file = $directory . "/" . $file;
                    $array_items[] = preg_replace("/\/\//si", "/", $file);
                } else {
                    $file = $directory . "/" . $file;
                    $array_items[] = preg_replace("/\/\//si", "/", $file);
                }
            }
        }
        closedir($handle);
    }
    return $array_items;
}

$filenamesdl=directoryToArray('fav',true);

$filenames = array();
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($filenamesdl)) { 
if(strstr($val,".txt")){
$filenames[]=basename($val); }
}

$filenames=array_count_values($filenames);


$total = array();
while (list ($key2, $val2) = each ($filenames)) { 
$total[]=$val2;
}


$i=0;
foreach ($filenamesdl as $dl) {
$filenamesdl=@file_get_contents($dl);
if(!empty($filenamesdl) && !empty($total[$i])){
$entry_arrayz[ 'entry' ]  .=  '<span class=top_ten_fav id='.$i.'>'.$filenamesdl . '(<span class='.$i.'>'.$total[$i].'</span>).</span><br />';
     $i++;
     } }
$entry_arrayz[ 'entry' ]="<div id=incase>".$entry_arrayz[ 'entry' ].'</div>'; 

The php script downloads all .txt files in a directory (+subdirs) and counts the filenames(array_count_values).
So i must sort the downloaded txt with the array_count_values.

this seems to work, i expected it to duplicate the divs when running the each() loop but it didn't, which is good lol.

Finally. I feel bit relaxed cuz the only thing left to do is to make delete/edit functions to my custom forum

JQuery is so powerful and it has future !
TNX !
