Answer 1

The documentation of toArray of Soratble [link here] clearly says that it Serializes the sortable's item id's into an array of string.

That means, you should use your sortable elements with an id for each one

  
Item 1
  
Item 2
  
Item 3
  
Item 4
  
Item 5

And now your code var idsInOrder = $("#sortable2").sortable('toArray'); alert(idsInOrder); will definitely output an array.
