jquery ui sortable('refresh') not working!

Question

I have a sortable list I'm working with that can have elements added and removed by another script through jquery and am having an odd problem. These newly generated items appear to be draggable, but they don't actually sort unless I have them already there at page load. I've tried using sortable('refresh'), but it seems to have no effect.

To give you the opportunity to close this question, and just for reference sake in case anyone else stumbles across this, this seems to work fine in the latest jquery-ui. Here is a jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fordlover49/mVrGA/

I had a similar problem. Once I added a new element to the sortable list nothing was draggable anymore. My solution was to call the destroy method:

$( ".selector" ).sortable( "destroy" ); 

first and then make it sortable again.
