As other's have said, you should do this server-side. Anyway, here's a
way to do it:
var csv = 'Row2,Row1,Row3',
mytable = $('#mytable')[0]; //save the table for later
csv = csv.split(','); //csv is now an array
var ln = csv.length;
while(ln--){ //loop csv array in reverse
$('#'+csv[ln]) //build the id string #rowX
.prependTo(mytable);
}
<table id="mytable">
<tr id="Row1">
<td>Some label 1 </td>
<td>Some complex control</td>
</tr>
<tr id="Row2">
<td>Some label 2</td>
<td>Some complex control</td>
</tr>
<tr id="Row3">
<td>Some label 3</td>
<td>Some complex control</td>
</tr>
</table>
