I am currently working on a wordpress function which allows users to add links to the side bar of their website (and automatically generates the domain extension based on the users input). I am currently trying to implement jQuery UI's sortable function to allow users to order their links the way they like. The sortable function is working great, however the order will not save once the page is refreshed. I have looked everywhere and it seems that I should be using ajax and some type of update function within the jQuery.
right now I have this:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("tbody#existing").sortable({
helper: fixHelper}).disableSelection();
});
