I'm trying to create a button that will move the currently selected OPTION in a SELECT MULTIPLE list to the top of that list. I currently have OptionTransfer.js implemented, which is allowing me to move items up and down the list. I want to add a new function

function MoveOptionTop(obj) { ... } 

Here is the source of OptionTransfer.js
