I came across this question: Sort by id element using jQuery

I voted to close it because it is pretty much a gimme teh codez question. "Here is my HTML, can you write the javascript for my feature?".

My question is, should this be answered? The answer was very simple and only took a few seconds to create. You can see it here: http://jsfiddle.net/pcCUd/

I did not post this as an answer though because it seems counter productive to feed the help vampires. Should these types of questions be closed and moved on from, or should they be answered as well as being closed?

I am just trying to make sure I am up to date on how to approach these since there have been some recent changes to closures.
