Sortable is a minimalist JavaScript library for reorderable drag-and-drop lists.
Demo: http://rubaxa.github.io/Sortable/
- Supports touch devices and modern browsers
- Can drag from one list to another or within the same list
- CSS animation when moving items
- Supports drag handles and selectable text (better than voidberg's html5sortable)
- Smart auto-scrolling
- Built using native HTML5 drag and drop API
- Supports Meteor and AngularJS
- Supports any CSS library, e.g. Bootstrap
- Simple API
- CDN
- No jQuery (but there is support)
- Sortable v1.0 — New capabilities (December 22, 2014)
- Sorting with the help of HTML5 Drag'n'Drop API (December 23, 2013)
<ul id="items">
<li>item 1</li>
<li>item 2</li>
<li>item 3</li>
</ul>var el = document.getElementById('items');
var sortable = Sortable.create(el);You can use any element for the list and its elements, not just ul/li. Here is an example with divs.
var sortable = new Sortable(el, {
group: "name", // or { name: "...", pull: [true, false, clone], put: [true, false, array] }
sort: true, // sorting inside list
disabled: false, // Disables the sortable if set to true.
store: null, // @see Store
animation: 150, // ms, animation speed moving items when sorting, `0` — without animation
handle: ".my-handle", // Drag handle selector within list items
filter: ".ignore-elements", // Selectors that do not lead to dragging (String or Function)
draggable: ".item", // Specifies which items inside the element should be sortable
ghostClass: "sortable-ghost", // Class name for the drop placeholder
scroll: true, // or HTMLElement
scrollSensitivity: 30, // px, how near the mouse must be to an edge to start scrolling.
scrollSpeed: 10, // px
setData: function (dataTransfer, dragEl) {
dataTransfer.setData('Text', dragEl.textContent);
},
// dragging started
onStart: function (/**Event*/evt) {
evt.oldIndex; // element index within parent
},
// dragging ended
onEnd: function (/**Event*/evt) {
evt.oldIndex; // element's old index within parent
evt.newIndex; // element's new index within parent
},
// Element is dropped into the list from another list
onAdd: function (/**Event*/evt) {
var itemEl = evt.item; // dragged HTMLElement
evt.from; // previous list
// + indexes from onEnd
},
// Changed sorting within list
onUpdate: function (/**Event*/evt) {
var itemEl = evt.item; // dragged HTMLElement
// + indexes from onEnd
},
// Called by any change to the list (add / update / remove)
onSort: function (/**Event*/evt) {
// same properties as onUpdate
},
// Element is removed from the list into another list
onRemove: function (/**Event*/evt) {
// same properties as onUpdate
},
// Attempt to drag a filtered element
onFilter: function (/**Event*/evt) {
var itemEl = evt.item; // HTMLElement receiving the `mousedown|tapstart` event.
}
});To drag elements from one list into another, both lists must have the same group value.
You can also define whether lists can give away, give and keep a copy (clone), and receive elements.
- name:
String— group name - pull:
true|false|'clone'— ability to move from the list.clone— copy the item, rather than move. - put:
true|false|["foo", "bar"]— whether elements can be added from other lists, or an array of group names from which elements can be taken. Demo: http://jsbin.com/naduvo/2/edit?html,js,output
Sorting inside list
Demo: http://jsbin.com/xizeh/2/edit?html,js,output
Disables the sortable if set to true.
Demo: http://jsbin.com/xiloqu/1/edit?html,js,output
var sortable = Sortable.create(list);
document.getElementById("switcher").onclick = function () {
var state = sortable.option("disabled"); // get
sortable.option("disabled", !state); // set
};To make list items draggable, Sortable disables text selection by the user. That's not always desirable. To allow text selection, define a drag handler, which is an area of every list element that allows it to be dragged around.
Demo: http://jsbin.com/newize/1/edit?html,js,output
Sortable.create(el, {
handle: ".my-handle"
});<ul>
<li><span class="my-handle">::</span> list item text one
<li><span class="my-handle">::</span> list item text two
</ul>.my-handle {
cursor: move;
cursor: -webkit-grabbing;
}Sortable.create(list, {
filter: ".js-remove, .js-edit",
onFilter: function (evt) {
var item = el.item,
ctrl = evt.target;
if (Sortable.utils.is(ctrl, ".js-remove")) { // Click on remove button
item.parentNode.removeChild(item); // remove sortable item
}
else if (Sortable.utils.is(ctrl, ".js-edit")) { // Click on edit link
// ...
}
}
})Class name for the drop placeholder.

.ghost {
opacity: 0.4;
}Sortable.create(list, {
ghostClass: "ghost"
});If set to true, the page (or sortable-area) scrolls when coming to an edge.
Demo:
window: http://jsbin.com/boqugumiqi/1/edit?html,js,outputoverflow: hidden: http://jsbin.com/kohamakiwi/1/edit?html,js,output
Defines how near the mouse must be to an edge to start scrolling.
The speed at which the window should scroll once the mouse pointer gets within the scrollSensitivity distance.
Include ng-sortable.js
Demo: http://jsbin.com/naduvo/1/edit?html,js,output
<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="demo">
<ul ng-sortable>
<li ng-repeat="item in items">{{item}}</li>
</ul>
<ul ng-sortable="{ group: 'foobar' }">
<li ng-repeat="item in foo">{{item}}</li>
</ul>
<ul ng-sortable="barConfig">
<li ng-repeat="item in bar">{{item}}</li>
</ul>
</div>angular.module('myApp', ['ng-sortable'])
.controller('demo', ['$scope', function ($scope) {
$scope.items = ['item 1', 'item 2'];
$scope.foo = ['foo 1', '..'];
$scope.bar = ['bar 1', '..'];
$scope.barConfig = { group: 'foobar', animation: 150 };
}]);Get or set the option.
For each element in the set, get the first element that matches the selector by testing the element itself and traversing up through its ancestors in the DOM tree.
Serializes the sortable's item data-id's into an array of string.
Sorts the elements according to the array.
var order = sortable.toArray();
sortable.sort(order.reverse()); // applySave the current sorting (see store)
Removes the sortable functionality completely.
Saving and restoring of the sort.
<ul>
<li data-id="1">order</li>
<li data-id="2">save</li>
<li data-id="3">restore</li>
</ul>Sortable.create(el, {
group: "localStorage-example",
store: {
/**
* Get the order of elements. Called once during initialization.
* @param {Sortable} sortable
* @returns {Array}
*/
get: function (sortable) {
var order = localStorage.getItem(sortable.options.group);
return order ? order.split('|') : [];
},
/**
* Save the order of elements. Called onEnd (when the item is dropped).
* @param {Sortable} sortable
*/
set: function (sortable) {
var order = sortable.toArray();
localStorage.setItem(sortable.options.group, order.join('|'));
}
}
