Can I have a 2 column sortable jquery drag/drop without jqueryUI?

Question

Is it possible to do a basic 2 column wide sortable drag/drop list with jquery, WITHOUT using jqueryUI?

I would like to make something more lightweight but still use jquery. All I need is drag/drop capabilities, which sortable function works perfect but I need to be able to have 2 columns act as 1 unit, so a serialized list will show the order for both columns together

Here is somewhat of an example of what I need but this version is using jqueryUI

You know that you can just select the components from jQuery UI want, right? You can download the individual components and put them on the page. You'd only need UI Core, Draggable, and Droppable ~ 34K minified. Another alternative is loading jQuery UI from the Google content network, which case the user may already have it loaded making the download size immaterial.
