Different dragging behaviour between draggable and sortable
With draggable my element gets a relative position when the user starts to drag it. It is positioned relative to where it started from (in the flow) as the user moves it around the page.
With sortable - at least with the portlets demo on the UI web site - as I start to drag an element it gets an absolute position and the co-ordinates are absolute.
The latter is much more convenient behaviour as it takes the being-dragged element out of the flow allowing elements below it to flow into place as you move it.
Is this behaviour controllable? Can I configure it somewhere?
Thanks
