title: Set the selected option as the first option in the selectbox
body: <p>Open <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_select" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this link</a> in IE to exactly understand the behavior that I will be describing and seek a hack for.</p>
  
  <p>I have the following select list:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;select&gt;
    &lt;option value="volvo"&gt;Volvo&lt;/option&gt;
    &lt;option value="saab"&gt;Saab&lt;/option&gt;
    &lt;option value="mercedes"&gt;Mercedes&lt;/option&gt;
    &lt;option value="audi"&gt;Audi&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;/select&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I render this in <strong>IE, drop-down behavior</strong> of this changes compared to other browsers due to which some of the options are pushed above the <strong>selectbox</strong> while the others are pushed below (based on the selected option)</p>
  
  <p>Since this is the <strong>default behavior of IE</strong>, what I am looking for is that the options should get <strong>re-ordered</strong> i.e. the option that a user selects should be made the first option. Check the image below:</p>

  <p>Does anyone have a work-around for this ?</p>
  
  <p>Also if anyone knows a hack to alter this default IE behavior, it would be great to know and learn that</p>
  
  <p>Is this the right way ?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
  &lt;html&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;
  &lt;script&gt;
  $(document).ready(function(){
  var choose = $("#choose").bind('change',function(){alert("hello");
  choose.find('option:selected').prependTo(choose);
  });
  });
  &lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
  
  &lt;select id="choose"&gt;
  &lt;option value="choose"&gt;choose&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;option value="saab"&gt;Saab&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;option value="opel"&gt;Opel&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;option value="audi"&gt;Audi&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;/select&gt;
  
  &lt;/body&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;
