Sortable

Reorder elements in a list or grid using the mouse.

Examples

Sort items from one list into another and vice versa, by passing a selector into the connectWith option. The simplest way to do this is to group all related lists with a CSS class, and then pass that class into the sortable function (i.e., connectWith: '.myclass').
