I ided the items sorted, read and prepped them, then did a location.replace
with the sorted order as a hash. The url looked something like this:

www.example.com#a06a14a02a01a09....

When the page first loads, it has to look for this hash-list and sort if it
exists. It's a rather complicated procedure but will work.
