Sortable is a minimalist JavaScript library for reorderable drag-and-drop lists.
Demo: http://rubaxa.github.io/Sortable/
- Supports touch devices and modern browsers (including IE9)
- 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, AngularJS, React and Polymer
- 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 div
s.
var sortable = new Sortable(el, {
group: "name", // or { name: "...", pull: [true, false, clone], put: [true, false, array] }
sort: true, // sorting inside list
delay: 0, // time in milliseconds to define when the sorting should start
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
chosenClass: "sortable-chosen", // Class name for the chosen item
dataIdAttr: 'data-id',
forceFallback: false, // ignore the HTML5 DnD behaviour and force the fallback to kick in
fallbackClass: "sortable-fallback" // Class name for the cloned DOM Element when using forceFallback
fallbackOnBody: false // Appends the cloned DOM Element into the Document's Body
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.
},
// Event when you move an item in the list or between lists
onMove: function (/**Event*/evt) {
// Example: http://jsbin.com/tuyafe/1/edit?js,output
evt.dragged; // dragged HTMLElement
evt.draggedRect; // TextRectangle {left, top, right и bottom}
evt.related; // HTMLElement on which have guided
evt.relatedRect; // TextRectangle
// return false; — for cancel
}
});
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.

Time in milliseconds to define when the sorting should start.
Demo: http://jsbin.com/xizeh/4/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 = 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
// ...
}
}
})
Class name for the drop placeholder (default sortable-ghost
).
