You're right, it does't mean anything. I tried to modify the source
from this:
http://demo.script.aculo.us/ajax/sortable_elements to make it work.

How would you accomplish this?

I couldn't find anything about this on the scriptaculous site.



Just to clarify a bit, right now the processing script returns some
values in a list which relate to the name that was dragged. This
independent list is placed into the 'items_area' div. I would like to
be able to sort these values which do not rely anymore on the initial
sortable list. It should work like this:

You are shown two sortable lists with one of them having a list of
names while the other one is empty.

Names
- Bob
- John

Empty

You have the ability to drag the names from the Names list to the Empty
list. When you do so, the processing script recieves the array
containing the information pertaining to the Empty list. So if you
dragged Bob to the Empty list, the processing script would do something
with the value of 'Bob' and return some information relating to it.
This information would be placed into an unrelated list which also has
the ability to be sorted. It would look like this:

Names
- John

Empty
- Bob


Details
-Height: 6'
-Weight: 180lbs

The Details list would now have the ability to be sorted amongst
itself. When 'Bob' is dragged back from Empty to Names, the Details
list would dissapear.
