I am stumped. I have been trying to solve this for 2 days and looked all over online including this site. This is very frustrating, and I will be very impressed if you can solve it.
I am using Interspire shopping cart, which uses the jQuery plugin nestedsortables (http://code.google.com/p/nestedsortables/wiki/NestedSortableDocumentation) to arrange the order of your pages in the admin panel by dragging and dropping. Here is a demo of a DIFFERENT script that does the same thing: http://mjsarfatti.com/sandbox/nestedSortable/
The problem is the parent pages (in the list, not an actual page) are able to be dragged into any order, including into a nested child position and back out (until refresh, and then it is stuck in the child position). The child pages cannot be dragged/moved, and the cursor changes to a 4-way arrow just like the parent pages.
I have gone over the HTML so many times I lose count. The HTML looks almost identical for parent and children, that I can figure out why one would work, and one wouldn’t. I think maybe it has something to do with either a ul or li tag, but I just don’t see the problem.
I have compared my code to that of the Interspire demo (http://shoppingcart.interspire-demo.com/demos) and I don’t see any difference. Their admin panel works, mine doesn’t. I tried re-uploading the 2 JavaScript files that control this feature, but the problem persists.
Here is a HTML snippet:

I named the pages PARENT, CHILD ONE, and CHILD TWO. The 2 child pages are nested in the parent. Parent is draggable, but the 2 nested pages are not.

Please help me out. I am sure other Interspire and NestedSortable users would find this useful as well. Thanks for looking, and I do greatly appreciate anyone trying to solve this whether you succeed or not.

After spending 3 and half days trying to debug this without success, I decided to try the jQuery plug-in from mjsarfatti.com instead of the one from code.google.com.
Using the plug-in from Misarfatti didn’t work right out of the box, because he does have settings you must configure in order for it to work correctly otherwise it will freeze your browser. I figure this was worth a try before spending hours taking all the code from a private admin panel and setting it up to work in jsfiddle. Even if I did that, this question seems to have little to no interest here, and would probably never get solved.
This was the biggest coding nightmare I have had in over a year, so I figured I would post the solution here in case someone else ran into the same problem. I would hate for someone to go through what I did with it. I can post the full code if requested, although it was pretty straight-forward.
