Simple list example

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Item 4
Item 5
Item 6
new Sortable(example1, {
    animation: 150,
    ghostClass: 'blue-background-class'
});

Shared lists

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Item 4
Item 5
Item 6
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Item 4
Item 5
Item 6
new Sortable(example2Left, {
    group: 'shared', // set both lists to same group
    animation: 150
});

new Sortable(example2Right, {
    group: 'shared',
    animation: 150
});

Cloning

Try dragging from one list to another. The item you drag will be cloned and the clone will stay in the original list.

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Item 4
Item 5
Item 6
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Item 4
Item 5
Item 6
new Sortable(example3Left, {
    group: {
        name: 'shared',
        pull: 'clone' // To clone: set pull to 'clone'
    },
    animation: 150
});

new Sortable(example3Right, {
    group: {
        name: 'shared',
        pull: 'clone'
    },
    animation: 150
});

Disabling Sorting

Try sorting the list on the left. It is not possible because it has it's sort option set to false. However, you can still drag from the list on the left to the list on the right.

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Item 4
Item 5
Item 6
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Item 4
Item 5
Item 6
new Sortable(example4Left, {
    group: {
        name: 'shared',
        pull: 'clone',
        put: false // Do not allow items to be put into this list
    },
    animation: 150,
    sort: false // To disable sorting: set sort to false
});

new Sortable(example4Right, {
    group: 'shared',
    animation: 150
});

Handle

  Item 1
  Item 2
  Item 3
  Item 4
  Item 5
  Item 6
new Sortable(example5, {
    handle: '.handle', // handle's class
    animation: 150
});

Filter

Try dragging the item with a red background. It cannot be done, because that item is filtered out using the filter option.

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Filtered
Item 4
Item 5
new Sortable(example6, {
    filter: '.filtered', // 'filtered' class is not draggable
    animation: 150
});

Thresholds

Try modifying the inputs below to affect the swap thresholds. You can see the swap zones of the squares colored in dark blue, while the "dead zones" (that do not cause a swap) are colored in light blue.

1
2
Invert Swap
new Sortable(example7, {
    swapThreshold: 1,
    animation: 150
});

Nested Sortables Example

NOTE: When using nested Sortables with animation, it is recommended that the fallbackOnBody option is set to true.
It is also always recommended that either the invertSwap option is set to true, or the swapThreshold option is lower than the default value of 1 (eg 0.65).

Item 1.1
Item 2.1
Item 2.2
Item 3.1
Item 3.2
Item 3.3
Item 3.4
Item 2.3
Item 2.4
Item 1.2
Item 1.3
Item 1.4
Item 2.1
Item 2.2
Item 2.3
Item 2.4
Item 1.5
// Loop through each nested sortable element
for (var i = 0; i < nestedSortables.length; i++) {
	new Sortable(nestedSortables[i], {
		group: 'nested',
		animation: 150,
		fallbackOnBody: true,
		swapThreshold: 0.65
	});
}

Plugins

MultiDrag

The MultiDrag plugin allows for multiple items to be dragged at a time. You can click to "select" multiple items, and then drag them as one item.

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Item 4
Item 5
Item 6
new Sortable(multiDragDemo, {
	multiDrag: true,
	selectedClass: 'selected',
	fallbackTolerance: 3, // So that we can select items on mobile
	animation: 150
});

Swap

The Swap plugin changes the behaviour of Sortable to allow for items to be swapped with eachother rather than sorted.

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Item 4
Item 5
Item 6
new Sortable(swapDemo, {
	swap: true, // Enable swap plugin
	swapClass: 'highlight', // The class applied to the hovered swap item
	animation: 150
});
