Q: 

The jQuery plugin, asmSelect, doesn't retain sort order

So, I'm using the asmSelect plugin to create lists, but also trying to use it to edit existing lists. asmSelect allows you to manually sort/arrange the selected options before submitting.

My problem is whenever I go and grab the user sorted list from the database and let asmSelect do its thing on my page, by default (because it's a multiple select) it just orders the selected options in whatever order the original options in the select appears. Therefore, not retaining my sorted order at all...

Anyone else seen this issue yet and have a solution?
