asortable is a jQuery UI plugin that extends the normal sortable plugin and allows you to use it on absolutely positioned items.

Include jquery-asortable.js on your page, along with jQuery and jQuery UI, and use it like you would use the normal sortable plugin.

$("#asortable").asortable();

Since asortable extends the sortable plugin, you can pass in the same options.

asortable uses the Grunt build system. To build asortable, you must have node.js installed and then run the following commands:

# Install the Grunt CLI.
npm install -g grunt-cli

# Clone the repository.
git clone [email protected]:NiGhTTraX/jquery-asortable.git
cd jquery-asortable

# Install node module dependencies.
npm install

# Run the build task.
grunt

If all went well, you will find a minified version of the plugin in the build/ folder.

Run grunt test to run the tests in PhantomJS or open tests/index.html to run them in your browser. Tests are written using the QUnit framework and the jQuery Event Unit Testing Helpers.

To enable coverage, place the resources/ and tests/ folders in your webserver and run the tests from there with the coverage option in QUnit checked (running coverage locally will throw a cross-domain error). Coverage is done using blanket.js.
