How do you perform a reset on a JQuery Sortable

Question

I\'m using JQuery Sortable. I\'d like to know if it\'s possible to, after a number of resortings, restore the sortable control back to its original state similar to a form reset

Answer 1

Store a reference to the original element order then use that to re-order them.

var sortableElements = $("#sortable div");
$("#sortable").sortable();

Now when you want to restore the original sort order, simply append the divs to the #sortable element.

$("#sortable").append(sortableElements);
