Question

sort combination of <li> and <div> using jquery

Answer 1

A:

Simplest thing might be to put the li / div pairs inside of another element, and sort based on that.

Something like this should work, although there a lot of options on how you want to do it. The sortable feature doesn't require that you use li elements.

<ul id="ulSortable" class="ui-sortable" >
    <li class="Decide_Rank_Item_Li">
        <span>test A</span>
        <div class="DisplayOrder">1</div>
    </li>
    <li class="Decide_Rank_Item_Li">
        <span>test B</span>
        <div class="DisplayOrder">2</div>
    </li>
    <li class="Decide_Rank_Item_Li">
        <span>test C</span>
        <div class="DisplayOrder">3</div>
    </li>
    <li class="Decide_Rank_Item_Li">
        <span>test D</span>
        <div class="DisplayOrder">4</div>
    </li>
</ul>

Thanks for your response. But according to the project i am working, only the item will be sorted, serial number should not be moved like the following image.http://i42.tinypic.com/14n0ll5.png

If i use your code, as div is inside the dragable li, the serial No. moves with the text.Is there any other way to keep the div fixed while sorting?

Answer 2

+3 A:

I had to change the HTML and CSS but I think this achieves the effect you were after.

Here's a hosted demo: http://jsbin.com/erigu (Editable via http://jsbin.com/erigu/edit)

<html>
  <head>
    <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" type="text/css" />
    <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.1/jquery-ui.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;

    <style type="text/css" media="screen">
      * { margin: 0; padding: 0; }

      #numbers>div, #sortables>div {
        width: 110px;
        height: 100px;
        float: left;
        border: 1px solid #C0C0C0;
      }

      #numbers>div {
        padding-bottom: 20px;
        font: bold 12px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
        color: #808080; 
        background-color: #F8F8F8;
      }

      #sortables>div {
        padding-top: 20px;
        text-align: center;
        color: black;
      }

      #sortables {
        position: absolute;
        left: 0px;
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="numbers">
      <div>1</div>
      <div>2</div>
      <div>3</div>
      <div>4</div>
    </div>

    <div id="sortables">
      <div>Test A</div>
      <div>Test B</div>
      <div>Test C</div>
      <div>Test D</div>
    </div> 

    <script>
      $(function(){
        $('#sortables').sortable({
          /*
            The helper option allows you to customize the dragged element.
            in this case we are adding a background.
          */  
          helper: function(evt, el){
            return el.clone().css({background:'#F8F8F8'});
          }
        });
      });
    </script>  
  </body>
</html>

+1 A:

Just thought of an alternate solution that is a little more elegant: http://jsbin.com/udina

<html>
  <head>
    <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" type="text/css" />
    <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.1/jquery-ui.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;

    <style type="text/css" media="screen">
      body { background-color: #000; font: 16px Helvetica, Arial; color: #fff; }
      li {
        width: 100px;
        height: 100px;
        float: left;
        background: #F8F8F8;
        border: 1px solid #C0C0C0;
        list-style-position: inside;
        color: #C0C0C0;
      }
      div {
        text-align: center;
        color: #C0C0C0;
        font-size: 120%;
      }
      .placeholder {
        list-style-type:decimal;
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <ol>
      <li><div>Test Content A</div></li>
      <li><div>Test Content B</div></li>
      <li><div>Test Content C</div></li>

      <li><div>Test Content J</div></li>
      <li><div>Test Content K</div></li>
      <li><div>Test Content L</div></li>
      <li><div>Test Content M</div></li>
      <li><div>Test Content N</div></li>
      <li><div>Test Content O</div></li>
      <li><div>Test Content P</div></li>
      <li><div>Test Content Q</div></li>

      <li><div>Test Content S</div></li>
      <li><div>Test Content T</div></li>
      <li><div>Test Content U</div></li>
      <li><div>Test Content V</div></li>
      <li><div>Test Content W</div></li>
      <li><div>Test Content X</div></li>
      <li><div>Test Content Y</div></li>
      <li><div>Test Content Z</div></li>
    </ol>
    <script>
      $(function(){
        $('ol').sortable({
          helper: function(evt, el){
            return el.clone().css('color', '#F8F8F8');
          },
          placeholder: 'placeholder'
        });
      });
    </script>
  </body>
</html>
