Instead of the $.ajax-call below, you could use these shorter funcs. In
addition to the hash used by $.ajax, the SortSerialize method above also
returns an object that can directly be used in the $().load and $.post/get
functions:
// $('#data').load("sortdata.php",serial.o.sortme);
or
// $.post("sortdata.php",serial.o.sortme, function(feedback){
$('#data').html(feedback); });
*/

url: "sortdata.php",
type: "POST",
data: serial.hash,
// complete: function(){},
success: function(feedback){ $('#data').html(feedback); }
// error: function(){}
});
}

SORTDATA.PHP
-------------------
<?php
// This can do anything it wants with the posted data which comes as an
array. Here we just output it with print_r:
echo "DATA RECEIVED: <br>";
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_POST);
echo "</pre>";
?>
