    Put them into an array and bubble sort them.

    Hi OP there is a function of the array object in javascript called sort. Go to http://www.w3schools.com/js/ and look it up. I must point out however that from the way you describe it it may not be a javascript problem. You're selecting a month and a wage? Is the data hard-coded to the page or are you POST/GET the form to a script for processing? In that case the sort will have to be performed in the script server-side and the result sent back to the client page. The sort then will depend on the server side scripting language (for ASP it's generally VBScript though ASP can be written in javascript, for PHP it PHP, for java servlets it would be java etc.)

    Moderator, while he could write a bubble sort function it might be easier just to use what's already there. no point re-inventing the wheel :D
