jQuery unexpected sortable behaviour

Question

I\'m working on a project where I can generate Word documents, one of the functionalities is to define a table of contents. I want my TOC to be a sortable jQuery list for so

Answer 1

Just add this

$('ul.list').bind('mousedown', function(e) {
  e.stopPropagation();
});

This will stop IE from bubbling up the mousedown event to the parent ul, which causes the strange sortable behavior you have seen. Now it should work as expected
