Question

guys!
I have a problem. I need to initialize my sortable() with items ‘li:not(.someclass)’.
If I set:

$('ul').sortable({ items: 'li:not(.someclass)' });

everything works fine. But if I try:

$('ul').sortable().sortable('option', 'items', 'li:not(.someclass)');

It doesn’t work. Why option ‘items’ exists if it doesn’t work correctly or what is correct way to set up items through options?

Try examples here.

Answer 1

You can use cancel (Couldn’t get items working) – Demo

$('ul').sortable();
$("ul").sortable("option", 'cancel', 'ul > li.last');
