This seems to work:
$('ul').each(function(i) {
var className = 'sort' + i;
$(this).children("li").addClass(className);
$(this).Sortable({accept: className});
});
As far as building this into sortables, time is likely better spent on
jQuery UI sortables rather than Interface. Interface is still an official
plugin, but as far as I know it is in maintenance mode (bug fixes only) and
all new development (which this would fit under) is happening in jQuery UI.
Sortables (along with the rest of jQuery UI) is under active development
(pre-alpha, and likely to change a lot over the next month or so leading up
to jQuery UI 1.0). If you have any suggestions/preference on the API for
such a feature, I suggest starting a new thread on the jquery-ui list.
