Jquery sortable('serialize')

Question

Is it possible to get the serialized list of items from a UL in jquery by calling the serialize method directly instead of using a callback? The code snippet:

Answer 1

I finally got the answer! You need to make the UL sortable first before calling the serialize method on it:

var sortableLinks = $("#category_links_list_3");
$(sortableLinks).sortable();
var linkOrderData = $(sortableLinks).sortable('serialize');

This time linkOrderData contains category_link[]=8&category_link[]=9
