Clarification about Sortables?

Clarification about Sortables?


I am transitioning a script that used to use Interface and jQuery
1.1.2 to now use UI and jQuery 1.2.1, but I am having a problem
finding API functions that existed in Interface. I am working with a
Sortable() object and I would like to know if it's possible to do the
following:
- handle     string or DOMElement     optional      the handle that starts
the draggable
- axis     string ('vertically' or 'horizontally')     optional     define
the axis which the dragged elements moves on
- tolerance     'pointer', 'intersect' or 'fit'     optional     points how
the draggble must be against the droppable
- opacity     float ( < 1)     optional     opacity for the item while in
drag
- lastly, how do you retrieve the new order of the sortable elements?
With Interface, I could use .hash like so: onchange:function(s)
{s[0].hash}
Thanks to anyone that can help. The UI documentation is vague and the
demos are boring.
