Rails spinoffs - Feb 2006 - RE: sorting <a href..> with D&D follows the link(browser thinks I click)

Maybe don''t make anchor tags draggable?  Or you could do something like
change the href to point to ''#'' and move the actual href into
your
javascript, and only call it if they click without dragging.  Still, I
think making a clickable item draggable is begging for problems.

No, it''s just striving for simplicity and obviousness.
With "In place edit" and "sortable list", you can replace 3
pages by 1,
without adding any control or icon or whatever on the page.

What''s the alternative: separate pages : "Sort contents", and
"Edit
contents". That''s no good.
