It seems to me that using Ember.CollectionView, could solve this. So I gave a try. It seems to work: http://jsfiddle.net/8ahjd/

handlebars:

<script type="text/x-handlebars">
  {{view App.JQuerySortableView content=model}}
  <a {{action removeItem}}>Remove Second Item</a>
</script>

<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name='jquery-sortable-item'>
  {{view.content.title}}
</script>

javascript:

App = Ember.Application.create();

App.ApplicationController = Ember.ArrayController.extend({
  removeItem: function() {
    this.removeAt(1);        
  }            
});

App.ApplicationRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
  model: function() {
    return [
      {id: 1, title:'Test 1'},
      {id: 2, title:'Test 2'},
      {id: 3, title:'Test 3'}
    ];
  }
});

App.JQuerySortableItemView = Ember.View.extend({
    templateName: 'jquery-sortable-item'        
});

App.JQuerySortableView = Ember.CollectionView.extend({
    tagName: 'ul',
    itemViewClass: App.JQuerySortableItemView, 

    didInsertElement: function(){
        this._super();
        this.$().sortable().disableSelection();
    }
});
