Sort multiple items at once using jQuery UI

Question

I am trying to set up a way to sort multiple items at once using the jQuery UI Sortable plugin . I came up with a partial solution where checked items come with drag and drop, but I can't get them all to move positions. Here is what I have: http://jsbin.com/ecela

What do I need to add in order for items to move to a new location and be deleted when dragging.

Also, I am wondering if there is a way to use selectable and sortable together. I guess not because they both require you to click on items to select and drag / sort.

Answer 1

There is a jQuery: multisortable plugin for this .

They also have a jsfiddle example. You select items with a click or mouse click, and then drag them.

Sounds like a good starting point, at least!
