How can I make my favorite spaces appear alphabetically on my dashboard

I just upgraded to Confluence 5.9.7. I like how I can see my favorite spaces on my dashboard, but don't like how they aren't organized alphabetically. Anyone know how?

You could insert the following in your custom HTML:

<script>
//Sort My Spaces on the dashboard in alphabetical order
AJS.toInit(function() {
    if ($("body").hasClass("dashboard")) {
        $( document ).ajaxComplete(function( event, xhr, settings ) {
			if ( settings.url.indexOf("search?cql") > 0 ) {
				var mySpaces = $("#sidebar-spaces > div > ul > li").detach();
				mySpaces.sort(function (a, b) {
					return $(a).find('.aui-nav-item-label').text() > $(b).find('.aui-nav-item-label').text() ? 1 : -1;
				});
				$("#sidebar-spaces > div > ul").append(mySpaces);
			}
		});
    }
});
</script>

That script does not have any effect in my environment. I tried all three custom HTML sections available. Any other idea?

Where do we put this code?

To include JavaScript inside Custom HTML, go to Confluence Admin > Custom HTML and insert the code in the "At end of the HEAD" textbox.

I see now that it was loading the spaces dynamically. The updated code should work (but it will only work for 5.10 and below, it won't work for 6.0).
