title: ASP.NET: Bind Repeater using jQuery?
body: <p>I have a Repeater control that I bind server-side. It repeats a series of divs, and does so with  no problem. I have some buttons that I use to sort the repeater (newest, highest ranked, random) and this works the way it should.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to improve my user experience by making the buttons sort the divs using Ajax/jQuery somehow so that there is no page postback and the user does not lose his/her spot on the page.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to use jQuery to access server-side code like this, or use Ajax to re-bind a server-side control?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks... if I need to list more details, please let me know!</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong> I'm aware of UpdatePanels, but I would prefer not to use them if I don't have to.</p>
