jQuery sort checkboxes inside div's based on value

I have a couple of checkboxes being generated by a plugin in Wordpress. I don't have the option to sort these checkboxes so I would like to have them sorted based on their value, with the highest first.

the HTML generated looks like this:

<div class="wpgmza_filter_container" id="wpgmza_filter_container_5">
        <div class="wpgmza_cat_checkbox_holder wpgmza_cat_checkbox_5">
            <div class="wpgmza_cat_checkbox_item_holder_first">
                <input type="checkbox" class="wpgmza_checkbox form-control" id="wpgmza_cat_checkbox_0" name="wpgmza_cat_checkbox" mid="5" value="0">
                <div>
                    <label for="wpgmza_cat_checkbox_0">All</label>
                </div>
            </div>
            <div class="wpgmza_cat_checkbox_item_holder">
                <input type="checkbox" class="wpgmza_checkbox form-control" id="wpgmza_cat_checkbox_1" name="wpgmza_cat_checkbox" mid="5" value="1">
                <div>
                    <label for="wpgmza_cat_checkbox_1">Airco</label>
                </div>
            </div>
            <div class="wpgmza_cat_checkbox_item_holder">
                <input type="checkbox" class="wpgmza_checkbox form-control" id="wpgmza_cat_checkbox_2" name="wpgmza_cat_checkbox" mid="5" value="2">
                <div>
                    <label for="wpgmza_cat_checkbox_2">Vent</label>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

I tried the following code:

function sortByID(a, b)
{
return (a.children(“input”).val() > b.children("input").val()) ? 1 : -1;
}

var container = jQuery("div.wpgmza_filter_container");
container.children("div").sort(sortByID).appendTo(container);
