Reorderer API - v0.5

Owned by Anastasia Cheetham
Last updated: Sept 30, 2008Version comment

This documentation refers to version 0.5 of the Reorderer code. For documentation specific to trunk, please see Reorderer API.

Reorderer Overview

The Reorderer will handle almost any arbitrary stream of markup you pass to it, assuming a very simple contract is maintained:

  1. The orderable elements are contained within some kind of container element.
  2. A selector for the container is passed to the Reorderer upon instantiation.

Optional:

  1. Provide a callback function. This will be called by the Reorderer each time the user reorders an element, and is generally used to communicate ordering changes back to the server.
  2. Specify configuration options to customize the behaviour of the Reorderer, including the selection of orderable elements within the container. These are documented below.
