Sordid Dragon

jQuery plugin for vertical sorting.

Tested on:

Usage

Call sordidDragon() on a jQuery selector to make its immediate children sortable:

settings = {} $(".list").sordidDragon(settings);

To remove all event listeners (and disable dragging) specify "destroy" as the argument:

$(".list").sordidDragon("destroy");

settings = {} $(".list").sordidDragon("destroy", settings);

Option	Type	Default	Description
`handle`	`string` (CSS selector)	$(element).children()	Change where you want the dragger handle to be. Defaults to the whole children element.
`childSelector`	`string` (CSS selector\|jQuery selector)	$(element).children()	To only allow a subset of the child elements to be dragged. NOTE: If a child element excluded by `childSelector` is in the middle of the list, you will be able to drag items from above it to below it or vice versa. However, if the child element excluded by `childSelector` is at the beginning or end of the list, you will not be able to drag items above/below it.
`ghostContainer`	`string` (html\|CSS selector\|jQuery selector)	$(element)	Change where you want to append the ghost element when the user is dragging the element.
`sortStart`	`function(event, element)`	undefined	Called when an element starts to be moved.
`sortEnd`	`function(event, element)`	undefined	Called when an element has stopped being moved.

The "ghost" doesn't appear while dragging in IE8/IE9.
Edge case in Microsoft Surface: If draggable items do not have a CSS width set, the drag ghost image will be taken from the top of the web page. The workaround is to explicitly set the width of the draggable items.
