Usage

Use sortable method to create a sortable list:

$('.sortable').sortable();

Use .sortable-dragging and .sortable-placeholder CSS selectors to change the styles of a dragging item and its placeholder respectively.

Use placeholderClass option to create sortable lists with additional class for placeholder:

$('.sortable').sortable({
    placeholderClass: 'customPlaceholderClass'
});

Use sortupdate event if you want to do something when the order changes (e.g. storing the new order):

$('.sortable').sortable().bind('sortupdate', function(e, ui) {
    //ui.item contains the current dragged element.
    //Triggered when the user stopped sorting and the DOM position has changed.
});

Use items option to specifiy which items inside the element should be sortable:

$('.sortable').sortable({
    items: ':not(.disabled)'
});

Use handle option to restrict drag start to the specified element:

$('.sortable').sortable({
    handle: 'h2'
});

Setting forcePlaceholderSize option to true, forces the placeholder to have a height:

$('.sortable').sortable({
    forcePlaceholderSize: true 
});

Use connectWith option to create connected lists:

$('#sortable1, #sortable2').sortable({
    connectWith: '.connected'
});

To remove the sortable functionality completely:

$('.sortable').sortable('destroy');

To disable the sortable temporarily:

$('.sortable').sortable('disable');

To enable a disabled sortable:

$('.sortable').sortable('enable');
