检索列表的值，然后对列表进行排序

我有一个列表，我想获得它的值，然后对它进行排序。

我只使用了下面李的几个，列表实际上要大得多；完整列表包含下面sortBy中的所有值。但我认为为了简单起见，最好只列出几个

我只需要按照JS sortBy中的顺序对它们进行排序。JS根本无法进行排序。

没有控制台错误或任何类似性质的错误，只是没有进行排序。

而不是6M、9M、3M，我希望它被分类（例如）3M、6M、9M等等。很简单的概念，我觉得会非常简单。但事实证明，这是一件苦差事。

谢谢。

Javascript：

    jQuery(document).ready(function() {
        jQuery('ul.linkList').each(function() {
            var sortBy = ['Newborn', '3M', '6M', '9M', '12M', '18M', '24M', '2T', '3T', '4T', '4', '5', '6', '6X', '7', '8', '10', '12', '14', '16', '1 SZ', ' 1 SZ 0-3M', '1 SZ 3M-9M', '1 SZ 9M-24M', '1 SZ 2-4', '1 SZ 4-7', '1 SZ 7-16', 'S', 'M', 'L', 'XL', 'Hide extra values', 'View all'];  //Values to sort by once data is obtained
            var theList = jQuery(this);
            var listItems = theList.children('li').get(); //Get values from LI        
            var numHidden = 0;
            listItems.sort(function(a,b) {
                var indexA = jQuery.trim(jQuery(a).find('a').text());
                var indexB = jQuery.trim(jQuery(b).find('a').text());
                indexA = jQuery.inArray(indexA, sortBy);
                indexB = jQuery.inArray(indexB, sortBy);
                return (indexA < indexB) ? -1 : (indexA > indexB) ? 1 : 0;
            });
            theList.append(listItems);
        });
    });
