jQuery Connected Sortable Lists, Save Order to MySQL

Question

Hoping that using something like this demo it is possible to drag items within and between two columns, and update their order either live or with a \"save\" button to MySQL

Answer 1

what I would do is split them up

   data    :
    {
      sort1:$('#sortable1').sortable('serialize'),
      sort2:$('#sortable2').sortable('serialize')
    }

then when you post you can get the request and set them as needed, I hope that makes sense

so what I do is this

parse_str($_REQUEST['sort1'],$sort1); 

foreach($sort1 as $key=>$value){
    //do sutff;
}
