Should be pretty simple,

All you need to do is print 

<script language=javascript>
<!--//
var myaarray = new Array("item0","item1");
var myarray[0] = "f00f00f0";

function myClientSideSortFunction(foo)
{
  //sortstuffnow
  //output result of sort to form field
}
//-->
</script>

with the rest of your generated file

I suggest you use arrays, because forms can be changed by a user, unless you make them read only with javascript, or hidden.

Another reason to use arrays, it takes less characters than form fields, plus less code.

 

What kind of sort do you want to do?
