html

	item 1

	item 2

	item 3

`js 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.

####groupoption To drag elements from one list into another, both lists must have the samegroupvalue. 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|["foo", "bar"]|'clone'|function — ability to move from the list. clone — copy the item, rather than move. Or an array of group names which the elements may be put in. Defaults to true. * put:true|false|["baz", "qux"]|function— whether elements can be added from other lists, or an array of group names from which elements can be added. * revertClone:boolean — revert cloned element to initial position after moving to a another list.

Demo: - https://jsbin.com/hijetos/edit?js,output - https://jsbin.com/nacoyah/edit?js,output — use of complex logic in thepull and put- https://jsbin.com/bifuyab/edit?js,output — userevertClone: true

---

####sortoption Allow sorting inside list.

Demo: https://jsbin.com/jayedig/edit?js,output

---

####delayoption Time in milliseconds to define when the sorting should start. Unfortunately, due to browser restrictions, delaying is not possible on IE or Edge with native drag & drop.

Demo: https://jsbin.com/zosiwah/edit?js,output

---

####delayOnTouchOnlyoption Whether or not the delay should be applied only if the user is using touch (eg. on a mobile device). No delay will be applied in any other case. Defaults tofalse.

---

####swapThresholdoption Percentage of the target that the swap zone will take up, as a float between0 and 1.

Demo: http://sortablejs.github.io/Sortable#thresholds

---

####invertSwapoption Set totrue to set the swap zone to the sides of the target, for the effect of sorting "in between" items.

Read more

Demo: http://sortablejs.github.io/Sortable#thresholds

---

####invertedSwapThresholdoption Percentage of the target that the inverted swap zone will take up, as a float between0 and 1. If not given, will default to swapThreshold.

---

####directionoption Direction that the Sortable should sort in. Can be set to'vertical', 'horizontal', or a function, which will be called whenever a target is dragged over. Must return 'vertical' or 'horizontal'.

Read more

Example of direction detection for vertical list that includes full column and half column elements:

`js Sortable.create(el, { direction: function(evt, target, dragEl) { if (target !== null && target.className.includes('half-column') && dragEl.className.includes('half-column')) { return 'horizontal'; } return 'vertical'; } });`

---

####touchStartThresholdoption This option is similar tofallbackTolerance option.

When the delayoption is set, some phones with very sensitive touch displays like the Samsung Galaxy S8 will fire unwanted touchmove events even when your finger is not moving, resulting in the sort not triggering.

This option sets the minimum pointer movement that must occur before the delayed sorting is cancelled.

Values between 3 to 5 are good.

---

####disabledoptions Disables the sortable if set totrue.

Demo: https://jsbin.com/sewokud/edit?js,output

`js var sortable = Sortable.create(list);

document.getElementById("switcher").onclick = function () { var state = sortable.option("disabled"); // get

sortable.option("disabled", !state); // set };`

---

####handleoption 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: https://jsbin.com/numakuh/edit?html,js,output

`js Sortable.create(el, { handle: ".my-handle" });`

`html


	:: list item text one
	
:: list item text two

`css .my-handle { cursor: move; cursor: -webkit-grabbing; }`

---

####filter option

`js Sortable.create(list, { filter: ".js-remove, .js-edit", onFilter: function (evt) { var item = evt.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 // ... } } })`

---

####ghostClassoption Class name for the drop placeholder (defaultsortable-ghost).

Demo: https://jsbin.com/henuyiw/edit?css,js,output

`css .ghost { opacity: 0.4; }`

`js Sortable.create(list, { ghostClass: "ghost" });`

---

####chosenClassoption Class name for the chosen item (defaultsortable-chosen).

Demo: https://jsbin.com/hoqufox/edit?css,js,output

`css .chosen { color: #fff; background-color: #c00; }`

`js Sortable.create(list, { delay: 500, chosenClass: "chosen" });`

---

####forceFallbackoption If set totrue, the Fallback for non HTML5 Browser will be used, even if we are using an HTML5 Browser. This gives us the possibility to test the behaviour for older Browsers even in newer Browser, or make the Drag 'n Drop feel more consistent between Desktop , Mobile and old Browsers.

On top of that, the Fallback always generates a copy of that DOM Element and appends the class fallbackClass defined in the options. This behaviour controls the look of this 'dragged' Element.

Demo: https://jsbin.com/sibiput/edit?html,css,js,output

---

####fallbackToleranceoption Emulates the native drag threshold. Specify in pixels how far the mouse should move before it's considered as a drag. Useful if the items are also clickable like in a list of links.

When the user clicks inside a sortable element, it's not uncommon for your hand to move a little between the time you press and the time you release. Dragging only starts if you move the pointer past a certain tolerance, so that you don't accidentally start dragging every time you click.

3 to 5 are probably good values.

---

####dragoverBubbleoption If set totrue, the dragover event will bubble to parent sortables. Works on both fallback and native dragover event. By default, it is false, but Sortable will only stop bubbling the event once the element has been inserted into a parent Sortable, or can be inserted into a parent Sortable, but isn't at that specific time (due to animation, etc).

Since 1.8.0, you will probably want to leave this option as false. Before 1.8.0, it may need to be true for nested sortables to work.

---

####removeCloneOnHideoption If set tofalse, the clone is hidden by having it's CSS display property set to none. By default, this option istrue, meaning Sortable will remove the cloned element from the DOM when it is supposed to be hidden.

---

####emptyInsertThresholdoption The distance (in pixels) the mouse must be from an empty sortable while dragging for the drag element to be inserted into that sortable. Defaults to5. Set to 0 to disable this feature.

Demo: https://jsbin.com/becavoj/edit?js,output

`js var order = sortable.toArray(); sortable.sort(order.reverse()); // apply`
