jquery - Passing self reference from selected element to function in event -

I do not want to apply $ twice ('# selecteShuffle')

 < Code> Sort sort function (select) {select.html ($ ('select option'). Sort (function (A, B) {return a.text == b.text? 0: a.text & lt; B.text? - 1 1;})); } $ ('#SearchShuffle'). Change (Sort ($ ('# selectShuffle')));    
 
 
 do this -  
  $ (' #selectShuffle 'change (sortSelect).   
 and in your function -   this  refer to your selection   
  function sort select ( E) {$ (This) .html ($ ('select option'). Sort (function (a, b) {return a.text == b.text? 0: a.text & lt; b.text? - 1: 1;})); }   
 Or you can do it like this ( without changing your current function setup )  
  function sort Select (Select) {Select.html ($ ('select option'). Sort (function (a, b) {return a.text == b.text? 0: a.text & lt; b.text? - 1: 1;})); } $ ('#SearchShuffle'). Change (function () {sortSelect ($ (this))});
