The documentation on the sortables stuff sucks - but then, it isn't really
considered a core piece of MK so I guess there is little motivation to fix
the problem.

Here is a concise example of the technique I am using, for better or worse:

  var m_CurrentSortable = null;
  
  function CreateSortables() {
    MochiKit.Sortable.create(elementForSortableList, {onUpdate: function() {
      log("Here's the id: ", m_CurrentSortable.element.id);
    }});
  }
  
  connect(Draggables, "start", function (draggable) {
    m_CurrentSortable = draggable;
  });

Supposedly you can attach to an "ondrop" event, but I can't get that to work
right. According to the sortables documentation page, "other options are
passed to the Draggables and Droppables objects created. Refer to
MochiKit.DragAndDrop for more information."

Hope that helps,
Jason Bunting
