Usage

<ul id="items">
	<li>item 1</li>
	<li>item 2</li>
	<li>item 3</li>
</ul>

var el = document.getElementById('items');
var sortable = Sortable.create(el);

You can use any element for the list and its elements, not just ul/li. Here is an example with divs.

Options

var sortable = new Sortable(el, {
	group: "name",  // or { name: "...", pull: [true, false, clone], put: [true, false, array] }
	sort: true,  // sorting inside list
	delay: 0, // time in milliseconds to define when the sorting should start
	touchStartThreshold: 0, // px, how many pixels the point should move before cancelling a delayed drag event
	disabled: false, // Disables the sortable if set to true.
	store: null,  // @see Store
	animation: 150,  // ms, animation speed moving items when sorting, `0` — without animation
	handle: ".my-handle",  // Drag handle selector within list items
	filter: ".ignore-elements",  // Selectors that do not lead to dragging (String or Function)
	preventOnFilter: true, // Call `event.preventDefault()` when triggered `filter`
	draggable: ".item",  // Specifies which items inside the element should be draggable
	ghostClass: "sortable-ghost",  // Class name for the drop placeholder
	chosenClass: "sortable-chosen",  // Class name for the chosen item
	dragClass: "sortable-drag",  // Class name for the dragging item
	dataIdAttr: 'data-id',

	forceFallback: false,  // ignore the HTML5 DnD behaviour and force the fallback to kick in

	fallbackClass: "sortable-fallback",  // Class name for the cloned DOM Element when using forceFallback
	fallbackOnBody: false,  // Appends the cloned DOM Element into the Document's Body
	fallbackTolerance: 0, // Specify in pixels how far the mouse should move before it's considered as a drag.

	scroll: true, // or HTMLElement
	scrollFn: function(offsetX, offsetY, originalEvent, touchEvt, hoverTargetEl) { ... }, // if you have custom scrollbar scrollFn may be used for autoscrolling
	scrollSensitivity: 30, // px, how near the mouse must be to an edge to start scrolling.
	scrollSpeed: 10, // px

	setData: function (/** DataTransfer */dataTransfer, /** HTMLElement*/dragEl) {
		dataTransfer.setData('Text', dragEl.textContent); // `dataTransfer` object of HTML5 DragEvent
	},

	// Element is chosen
	onChoose: function (/**Event*/evt) {
		evt.oldIndex;  // element index within parent
	},

	// Element dragging started
	onStart: function (/**Event*/evt) {
		evt.oldIndex;  // element index within parent
	},

	// Element dragging ended
	onEnd: function (/**Event*/evt) {
		var itemEl = evt.item;  // dragged HTMLElement
		evt.to;    // target list
		evt.from;  // previous list
		evt.oldIndex;  // element's old index within old parent
		evt.newIndex;  // element's new index within new parent
	},

	// Element is dropped into the list from another list
	onAdd: function (/**Event*/evt) {
		// same properties as onEnd
	},

	// Changed sorting within list
	onUpdate: function (/**Event*/evt) {
		// same properties as onEnd
	},

	// Called by any change to the list (add / update / remove)
	onSort: function (/**Event*/evt) {
		// same properties as onEnd
	},

	// Element is removed from the list into another list
	onRemove: function (/**Event*/evt) {
		// same properties as onEnd
	},

	// Attempt to drag a filtered element
	onFilter: function (/**Event*/evt) {
		var itemEl = evt.item;  // HTMLElement receiving the `mousedown|tapstart` event.
	},

	// Event when you move an item in the list or between lists
	onMove: function (/**Event*/evt, /**Event*/originalEvent) {
		// Example: http://jsbin.com/tuyafe/1/edit?js,output
		evt.dragged; // dragged HTMLElement
		evt.draggedRect; // TextRectangle {left, top, right и bottom}
		evt.related; // HTMLElement on which have guided
		evt.relatedRect; // TextRectangle
		originalEvent.clientY; // mouse position
		// return false; — for cancel
	},

	// Called when creating a clone of element
	onClone: function (/**Event*/evt) {
		var origEl = evt.item;
		var cloneEl = evt.clone;
	}
});

`group` option

To drag elements from one list into another, both lists must have the same group value. You can also define whether lists can give away, give and keep a copy (clone), and receive elements.

name: String — group name
pull: true|false|'clone'|function — ability to move from the list. clone — copy the item, rather than move.
put: true|false|["foo", "bar"]|function — whether elements can be added from other lists, or an array of group names from which elements can be taken.
revertClone: boolean — revert cloned element to initial position after moving to a another list.

Demo:

http://jsbin.com/naduvo/edit?js,output
http://jsbin.com/rusuvot/edit?js,output — use of complex logic in the pull and put
http://jsbin.com/magogub/edit?js,output — use revertClone: true

`sort` option

Sorting inside list.

Demo: http://jsbin.com/videzob/edit?html,js,output

`delay` option

Time in milliseconds to define when the sorting should start.

Demo: http://jsbin.com/xizeh/edit?html,js,output

`touchStartThreshold` option

This option is similar to fallbackTolerance option.

When the delay option is set, some phones with very sensitive touch displays like the Samsung Galaxy S8 will fire unwanted touchmove events even when your finger is not moving, resulting in the sort not triggering.

This option sets the minimum pointer movement that must occur before the delayed sorting is cancelled.

Values between 3 to 5 are good.

`disabled` options

Disables the sortable if set to true.

Demo: http://jsbin.com/xiloqu/edit?html,js,output

var sortable = Sortable.create(list);

document.getElementById("switcher").onclick = function () {
	var state = sortable.option("disabled"); // get

	sortable.option("disabled", !state); // set
};

`handle` option

To make list items draggable, Sortable disables text selection by the user. That's not always desirable. To allow text selection, define a drag handler, which is an area of every list element that allows it to be dragged around.

Demo: http://jsbin.com/newize/edit?html,js,output

Sortable.create(el, {
	handle: ".my-handle"
});

<ul>
	<li><span class="my-handle">::</span> list item text one
	<li><span class="my-handle">::</span> list item text two
</ul>

.my-handle {
	cursor: move;
	cursor: -webkit-grabbing;
}

`filter` option

Sortable.create(list, {
	filter: ".js-remove, .js-edit",
	onFilter: function (evt) {
		var item = evt.item,
			ctrl = evt.target;

		if (Sortable.utils.is(ctrl, ".js-remove")) {  // Click on remove button
			item.parentNode.removeChild(item); // remove sortable item
		}
		else if (Sortable.utils.is(ctrl, ".js-edit")) {  // Click on edit link
			// ...
		}
	}
})

`ghostClass` option

Class name for the drop placeholder (default sortable-ghost).

Demo: http://jsbin.com/hunifu/4/edit?css,js,output

.ghost {
  opacity: 0.4;
}

Sortable.create(list, {
  ghostClass: "ghost"
});

`chosenClass` option

Class name for the chosen item (default sortable-chosen).

Demo: http://jsbin.com/hunifu/3/edit?html,css,js,output

.chosen {
  color: #fff;
  background-color: #c00;
}

Sortable.create(list, {
  delay: 500,
  chosenClass: "chosen"
});

`forceFallback` option

If set to true, the Fallback for non HTML5 Browser will be used, even if we are using an HTML5 Browser. This gives us the possibility to test the behaviour for older Browsers even in newer Browser, or make the Drag 'n Drop feel more consistent between Desktop , Mobile and old Browsers.

On top of that, the Fallback always generates a copy of that DOM Element and appends the class fallbackClass defined in the options. This behaviour controls the look of this 'dragged' Element.

Demo: http://jsbin.com/yacuqib/edit?html,css,js,output

`fallbackTolerance` option

Emulates the native drag threshold. Specify in pixels how far the mouse should move before it's considered as a drag. Useful if the items are also clickable like in a list of links.

When the user clicks inside a sortable element, it's not uncommon for your hand to move a little between the time you press and the time you release. Dragging only starts if you move the pointer past a certain tolerance, so that you don't accidentally start dragging every time you click.

3 to 5 are probably good values.

`scroll` option

If set to true, the page (or sortable-area) scrolls when coming to an edge.

Demo:

window: http://jsbin.com/tutuzeh/edit?html,js,output
overflow: hidden: http://jsbin.com/kolisu/edit?html,js,output

`scrollFn` option

Defines function that will be used for autoscrolling. el.scrollTop/el.scrollLeft is used by default. Useful when you have custom scrollbar with dedicated scroll function.

`scrollSensitivity` option

Defines how near the mouse must be to an edge to start scrolling.

`scrollSpeed` option

The speed at which the window should scroll once the mouse pointer gets within the scrollSensitivity distance.

Event object (demo)

to:HTMLElement — list, in which moved element.
from:HTMLElement — previous list
item:HTMLElement — dragged element
clone:HTMLElement
oldIndex:Number|undefined — old index within parent
newIndex:Number|undefined — new index within parent

`move` event object

to:HTMLElement
from:HTMLElement
dragged:HTMLElement
draggedRect: TextRectangle
related:HTMLElement — element on which have guided
relatedRect: TextRectangle

Method

option(name:`String`[, value:``]):``

Get or set the option.

closest(el:`String`[, selector:`HTMLElement`]):`HTMLElement|null`

For each element in the set, get the first element that matches the selector by testing the element itself and traversing up through its ancestors in the DOM tree.

toArray():`String[]`

Serializes the sortable's item data-id's (dataIdAttr option) into an array of string.

sort(order:`String[]`)

Sorts the elements according to the array.

var order = sortable.toArray();
sortable.sort(order.reverse()); // apply

save()

Save the current sorting (see store)

destroy()

Removes the sortable functionality completely.

Store

Saving and restoring of the sort.

<ul>
	<li data-id="1">order</li>
	<li data-id="2">save</li>
	<li data-id="3">restore</li>
</ul>

Sortable.create(el, {
	group: "localStorage-example",
	store: {
		/**
		 * Get the order of elements. Called once during initialization.
		 * @param   {Sortable}  sortable
		 * @returns {Array}
		 */
		get: function (sortable) {
			var order = localStorage.getItem(sortable.options.group.name);
			return order ? order.split('|') : [];
		},

		/**
		 * Save the order of elements. Called onEnd (when the item is dropped).
		 * @param {Sortable}  sortable
		 */
		set: function (sortable) {
			var order = sortable.toArray();
			localStorage.setItem(sortable.options.group.name, order.join('|'));
		}
	}
})

jQuery compatibility

To assemble plugin for jQuery, perform the following steps:

  cd Sortable
  npm install
  grunt jquery

Now you can use jquery.fn.sortable.js:
(or jquery.fn.sortable.min.js if you run grunt jquery:min)

  $("#list").sortable({ /* options */ }); // init

  $("#list").sortable("widget"); // get Sortable instance

  $("#list").sortable("destroy"); // destroy Sortable instance

  $("#list").sortable("{method-name}"); // call an instance method

  $("#list").sortable("{method-name}", "foo", "bar"); // call an instance method with parameters

And grunt jquery:mySortableFunc → jquery.fn.mySortableFunc.js
