Trying to figure out a more scalable solution to sorting DOM elements using jQuery

HTML

<table class="event-cal">
  <tbody>
     <tr class="eventcont event-93">
        <td class="eventtime">17:00</td>
        <td><a class="calendar-title" href="#">Event title</a><br></td></tr>
     <tr class="eventcont event-237">
        <td class="eventtime">13:00</td>
        <td><a class="calendar-title" href="#">Event 2 title</a><br></td></tr>
     <tr class="eventcont event-27">
        <td class="eventtime">14:00</td>
        <td><a class="calendar-title" href="#">Event 3 title</a><br></td></tr>
      <tr class="eventcont event-2227">
        <td class="eventtime">16:00</td>
        <td><a class="calendar-title" href="#">Event 4 title</a><br></td></tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
<div id="results"></div>

CSS

.eventtime{
  display:inline-block;
  padding:10px 20px;
  background:#9CF;
  margin:10px;
  border-radius:5px;
}

JavaScript

$(".event-cal").each(function(){
	var events=$('tr',this);
  events.sort(function (a, b) {
      a = parseInt($('.eventtime',a).text().replace(':',''));
      b = parseInt($('.eventtime',b).text().replace(':',''));
      if(a > b) {
          return 1;
      } else if(a < b) {
          return -1;
      } else {
          return 0;
      }
  });
  $(this).html(events);
});
