I want that the result to be :

<ul id ="sort"> <li id = '2014-02-07'>tralala<li> <li id = '2014-01-04'>tralala<li> <li id = '2013-02-09'>tralala<li> <li id = '2011-09-05'>tralala<li> </ul>

I want to sort desc the li using the id in JQuery or Javascript . Thx

You could do this :

var list = $('#sort'), items = list.children().get(); list.append(items.sort(function(a, b){ return new Date(b.id) - new Date(a.id); }));
