being able to bind events that get placed at the beginning of the event stack.

i made a quick mod to the events to get the desired behaviour, and might be good to put in.

example 1 :: normal event order

var t = $('<div/>');

t.on('test', function(){console.log('FIRST');});

t.on('test', function(e){ e.stopImmediatePropagation(); console.log('last');});

t.trigger('test');

FIRST

last

example 2 :: adding a event before the others

var t = $('<div/>');

t.on('test', function(){console.log('FIRST');});

t.on('~test', function(e){ e.stopImmediatePropagation(); console.log('last');});

t.trigger('test');

last

code:

in events:add

after:

type = ( selector ? special.delegateType : special.bindType ) || type;

insert:

var placeFirst = type[0] === '~';

if(placeFirst){

type = type.substr(1);

}

replace:

handlers.push( handleObj );

with:

if(placeFirst){

handlers.unshift( handleObj );

}else{

handlers.push( handleObj );

}
