I want to make the list sortable after appending to it another item by ajax , how I could do that ?

Answer 1

After appending new list items within in ajax success: function() {...} you can try:

$( "#sortable" ).sortable('destroy').sortable().disableSelection();

For example:

$.ajax({
  url: '',
  type: '',
  success: function() {
    // all codes to append new list items
    // then add following line

    $( "#sortable" ).sortable('destroy').sortable().disableSelection();

    // do something else if need
  }
});
