Sorting multiple objects at once
Is there a way to either combine the "selectable" and "sortable" functions, or "attach" certain other elements to the currently sorted element, to allow for the sorting of multiple elements at one time? Specifically, I want to be able to start the sorting on one element, and have X number of other elements follow it through the sorting process. Ideally this would allow someone to initiate sorting on an element designated as a "parent", and that would also bring along all elements designated as "children."
I tried using nested sortable lists within each li, but that seemed to confuse the DOM and it was very difficult to drop an element on the desired sortable list. I'm hoping there is another way of accomplishing this.
Thanks.
