loop through a html select list except for the last value

I am learning Javascript / JQuery and I have cobbled together from a tutorial some code to alphabetically sort a HTML list from A - Z.

The code I have seems to be working OK.

But now I must alphabetically sort through the entire list from A-Z, except the last value.

I cannot figure out how to sort all but the last value. I searched SO and Google, but still cannot figure it out.

Here is my code:

function sortCurrentSectorTypes() {

    // sort the sector types list in alphabetical order (A-Z) after language code has changed.

    var selected = $("#id_current_sector_type").val();  // preserve the users selected value.
    var options = $('#id_current_sector_type option');
    var arr = options.map(function(_, o) {

        return {t: $(o).text(), v: o.value};

    }).get();

    arr.sort(function(o1, o2) {

        return o1.t.toLowerCase() > o2.t.toLowerCase() ? 1 : o1.t.toLowerCase() < o2.t.toLowerCase() ? -1 : 0;

    });

    options.each(function(i, o) {

        console.log(i);

        o.value = arr[i].v;

        $(o).text(arr[i].t);

    });

    $("#id_current_sector_type").val(selected);  // assign the preserved users selected value.

}
