What kind of sorting?
xml = '<base>';
xml += '<item type="c">one</item>';
xml += '<item type="b">two</item>';
xml += '<item type="d">three</item>';
xml += '<item type="f">three</item>';
xml += '<item type="a">three</item>';
xml += '</base>';
var sorted = $(xml).filter('item').get().sort(function(a,b){
var at = $(a).attr('type'), bt = $(b).attr('type');
return (at < bt) ? -1 : 1;
});
$(sorted).each(function(){
console.log( this );
});
