jquery-chosen-sortable fork by @antom
This JQuery plugin adds JQuery UI sortable functionality to multiple selects and allows the order of selection to be maintained. The original was coded by Yves Van Broekhoven & Simon Menke on 2012-07-05 and forked by Andy Thomas on 2014-08-04.
The fork adds the following features not found in the original:
- Updated to use the 'chosen-' class prefix used by newer versions of Chosen, but with backward compatibility for versions still using the old 'chzn-' one.
- Checks that JQuery UI is loaded.
- Sizes the placeholder equal to the option being dragged.
You can find demos for both the old (v0.9.7) and new (v1.1.0) versions of Chosen here.
Simply add the additional chosen-sortable class to any <select multiple> tag on your page and make sure that you include both JQuery UI and this plugin, eg:
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.11.0/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<script src="//path/to/jquery-chosen-sortable.min.js"></script>
The placeholder style should have the same margin as the .chosen-container-multi .chosen-choices li.search-choice to make things a little tidier, eg:
.chosen-container-multi .chosen-choices li.search-choice-placeholder {
border: 1px dashed #aaa;
margin: 3px 0 3px 5px;
}
