How to normalize HTML in JavaScript or jQuery?

Tags can have multiple attributes. The order in which attributes appear in the code does not matter. For example:

<a href="#" title="#">
<a title="#" href="#">

How can I "normalize" the HTML in Javascript, so the order of the attributes is always the same? I don't care which order is chosen, as long as it is always the same.

UPDATE: my original goal was to make it easier to diff (in JavaScript) 2 HTML pages with slight differences. Because users could use different software to edit the code, the order of the attributes could change. This make the diff too verbose.

ANSWER: Well, first thanks for all the answers. And YES, it is possible. Here is how I've managed to do it. This is a proof of concept, it can certainly be optimized:

function sort_attributes(a, b) {
  if( a.name == b.name) {
    return 0;
  }

  return (a.name < b.name) ? -1 : 1;
}

$("#original").find('*').each(function() {
  if (this.attributes.length > 1) {
    var attributes = this.attributes;
    var list = [];

    for(var i =0; i < attributes.length; i++) {
      list.push(attributes[i]);
    }

    list.sort(sort_attributes);

    for(var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
      this.removeAttribute(list[i].name, list[i].value);
    }

    for(var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
      this.setAttribute(list[i].name, list[i].value);
    }
  }
});

Same thing for the second element of the diff, $('#different'). Now $('#original').html() and $('#different').html() show HTML code with attributes in the same order.
