title: Order divs based on dates inside a span element
body: <p>I have 4 divs which I would like to order dynamically based on the date inside the <strong>span</strong> tag. I would like it to appear from <strong>newest</strong> to <strong>oldest</strong>.  What's the best way to achieve this using JQuery?   </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="mydivs"&gt;Some description goes here &lt;span&gt;05/03/09&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  
  &lt;div class="mydivs"&gt;Some description goes here &lt;span&gt;01/15/11&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  
  &lt;div class="mydivs"&gt;Some description goes here &lt;span&gt;12/25/07&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  
  &lt;div class="mydivs"&gt;Some description goes here &lt;span&gt;09/25/11&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
