I see! I hate to mess with the actual plug-in, but you're right... that fixed it too. Here's a version with your suggested modification to ui.sortable.js:
http://74.205.76.81/sorttest/index4.php I can't help but wonder if commenting out that line (line 41) will have some undesirable side-effect at some point. Which leads me to this: Where are the UI developers? Why haven't they chimed in by now? Isn't this the official forum for UI issues? I'm hesitant to use (or advocate) any plug-in with a hands-off approach to support and development, so I hope they weigh in on this eventually. Meanwhile, thank you again JEFFREY for taking the time to identify and solve this bug in their absence!
