I think people are mixing two different things here. AFAIK the OP was asking about "sortables", pretty much meaning lists that you can drag'n'drop sort with javascript and have the new list order POSTed to the server when you drop or push a button etc. This is achieved with interface, for example: http://interface.eyecon.ro/demos/sort_lists.html The poster was also correct that there has been a lack of demos showing the process all the way through up to POSTing the data to the server. It's not hard once you know how it goes, but IMO the interface documentation could be better there. I'm sure more people would be doing manual sorting this way if they knew how easy it is. A drag and drop interface for that purpose can be a lot faster, better and more intuitive than a regular "move up" - "move down" clickfest. What you are describing is sorting tables/filtering them with javascript, which is pretty much a different thing. -- Suni _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
