How do I reverse serialize serial.hash in jquery isortables


Hi can anyone help.
I am using isortable from jquery to create a drag and drop portal
based site, when the item has been droped I can call a function that
returns a serial.hash describing the new positions of the portals.
e.g. columnOne[]=boxOne&columnOne[]=boxThree&columnTwo[]=boxTwo
I now need to use this output and pass it back to a function to
reposition all of the portals when the page is reloaded so that I can
save settings for a user. I am really struggling to find a solution
for this and have been searching for the last week, help would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks
