Question for Gurus: Sortable Lists

I''ve been stuck on this particular problem for quite some time now.  If
I
don''t explain it well enough I''d be happy to explain more.



I have a group of draggables and a droppable object.  I''ve created a
function for the Droppable.onDrop event so when I drop one of these items I
check (via an array) to see if it has already been added to the droppable.
If it hasn''t then I add the object to the array and append a new
element
inside the droppable and also create a sortable list from it.



The idea is that I can drag from a list onto a . The item remains in
the original list and a new item is added to the droppable div, which
becomes a sortable list as items are dropped.



Things work great, I can drag any number of items from the list onto the
div, the new elements are created and a Sortable is created. ( I can call
its serialize method. )



The problem is that the list will not sort. I can drag the items in the list
but when I change the order, they simply revert back to their original
positions.  I''m guessing that it''s a conflict beween the
Droppable and
Sortable.



I''m I fundamentally headed down the wrong path?  It seems that if I
have 2
sortable lists I will not have as much functionality as I cannot peform my
function onDrop.



I''ve posted code if anyone would care to take a look.  There''s
quite a bit
of code on the page, but I''d be happy to hear any guidance.
