Hi,

Yes, you should.
What worked for me:


In my view, I have a div with the sortable items:
    <div id="sortlist">
    <?php foreach ($data as $data): ?>
        <div id="artdiv_<?php echo $data['Article']['id']; ?>"
class="sortablediv">
        <p>whatever...</p>
        </div>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
    </div>

I create the sortable js-code with

        <?php echo $ajax->sortable('sortlist', array(
                                            'tag'       => 'div',
                                            'onUpdate'  =>
'submit_sort'
                                            )); ?>
You need to define the function to submit the data:
        <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
        function submit_sort() {
            var u = new Ajax.Updater('col4', /* i update a div with the
results,,, */
                        '<?php echo
$html->url('/admin/articles/sort/'.$catid).'?' ?>' +
Sortable.serialize('sortlist'),
                        {

onLoading:function(request){$('indicator').show()},

onLoaded:function(request){$('indicator').hide()},
                            asynchronous:true,
                            evalScripts:true,
                            requestHeaders:['X-Update', 'col4']
                        }, false);
        }
        </script>
the important part is to append the serialized list to the URL.
Later in your controller you can access the data with
$this->params['url']['sortlist']:
        if (!empty($this->params['url']['sortlist'])) {
            for ( $i=0; $i < count($this->params['url']['sortlist']);
$i++ )
            {
                $this->Article->id =
$this->params['url']['sortlist'][$i];
                $this->Article->saveField('sort', $i);
            }
        }

hope this helped,

f.
