jQuery UI sortable & selectable

Question

Does anybody know how to combine jQuery UI selectable and sortable ? This script: http://nicolas.rudas.info/jquery/selectables_sortables/ doesn't work in Chrome and it also has plugin modifications.

Just found this very easy solution from rdworth:

CSS:

ul { width: 300px; list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; } li { background: white; position:relative;margin: 1em 0; padding: 1em; border: 2px solid gray; list-style: none; padding-left: 42px; } li .handle { background: #f8f8f8; position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; bottom: 0; padding:8px; } .ui-selecting { background: #eee; } .ui-selecting .handle { background: #ddd; } .ui-selected { background: #def; } .ui-selected .handle { background: #cde; } 

HTML:

<ul id="list">     <li>Item 1</li>     <li>Item 2</li>     <li>Item 3</li>     <li>Item 4</li>     <li>Item 5</li> </ul> 

Javascript:

$( "#list" )     .sortable({ handle: ".handle" })     .selectable({ filter: "li", cancel: ".handle" })     .find( "li" )         .addClass( "ui-corner-all" )         .prepend( "<div class='handle'><span class='ui-icon ui-icon-carat-2-n-s'></span></div>" );
