<h3 class="docs">Specify which items are sortable:</h3>

<ul id="sortable1">
<li class="ui-state-default">Item 1</li>
<li class="ui-state-default ui-state-disabled">(I'm not sortable or a drop target)</li>
<li class="ui-state-default ui-state-disabled">(I'm not sortable or a drop target)</li>
<li class="ui-state-default">Item 4</li>
</ul>

<h3 class="docs">Cancel sorting (but keep as drop targets):</h3>

<ul id="sortable2">
<li class="ui-state-default">Item 1</li>
<li class="ui-state-default ui-state-disabled">(I'm not sortable)</li>
<li class="ui-state-default ui-state-disabled">(I'm not sortable)</li>
<li class="ui-state-default">Item 4</li>
</ul>

<div class="demo-description">
<p>
Specify which items are eligible to sort by passing a jQuery selector into
the <code>items</code> option. Items excluded from this option are not
sortable, nor are they valid targets for sortable items.
</p>
<p>
To only prevent sorting on certain items, pass a jQuery selector into the
<code>cancel</code> option. Cancelled items remain valid sort targets for
others.
