Morning Adam,
I can certainly refactor jQuery-UI out of this code. Aside from performance
improvements, the core of django-admin-sortable has remained almost the
same for about 5 years - or longer... I can't even remember when I created
it - I'm getting old!
Let me see what I can do in that regard, if you feel it would raise the
chances of it getting pulled in?
