This seems to work with the multisortable plugin. Code below. Or see jsFiddle.

// ctrl + click to select multiple
$('.container').multisortable({
    stop: function(e, ui) {
        var $group = $('.ui-multisort-grouped').not(ui.item);
        $group.clone().insertAfter($(ui.item));
        $group.each(function() {
            $(this).removeClass('ui-multisort-grouped');
        });
        $group.remove();
    }
});

But what if multisortable breaks with future jQuery versions?
