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:

va

I was able to get this function working using the split. If you have multiple underscores in your class you may need to adjust the index

function serializeList(container)
{
  var str = ''
  var n = 0
  var els = container.find('tr')
  for (var i = 0; i < els.length; ++i) {
    var el = els[i]

    var p = el.id.lastIndexOf('_')
    **var getIdNumber = el.id.split("_");**

    if (p != -1) {
      if (str != '') str = str + '&'
      str = str + el.id.substring(0, p) + '[]=' + **getIdNumber[1]**
      ++n
    }
  }
  return str
}
