Configuring sortable options

The sortables component has a huge range of configurable options, much more than any of the other interaction components (but not as many as some of the widgets). The table below illustrates the range of options at our disposal.

Option	Default value	Usage
appendTo	"parent"	Sets the element that helpers are appended to during a sort.
axis	false	Constrains sortables to one axis of movement. Possible values are the strings x or y.
cancel	":input, button"	Specifies elements that cannot be sorted if they are the elements being sorted.
connectWith	false	Accepts the selector of another list of sortables to enable one-way sorting from the current list to the specified list.
containment	false	Constrains sortables to their container while they are being dragged. Values can be the strings parent, window, or document, or can be a jQuery selector, or element node.
cursor	"auto"	Defines the CSS cursor to apply while dragging a sortable element.
