Group multiple, duplicate items

[lgirola]

Hi, I love this package and it fits my need to make analysis more visual! I imagine you have to carefully manage "mission creep", but maybe this one isn't too much to ask or maybe it would be of widespread benefit. Or maybe this feature already resides in the package and I missed it. I am using sortable to rank order list items, as intended and it works great. But some of my to-be-dragged elements do not rank order , but instead fall into a non-ranked, pari passu category, all sharing in the same rank order, whereby ideally they would be horizontally aligned rather than vertically aligned. Images speak a thousand words. In the first attached image (Image1.png) I show how I am currently using sortable. In the second attached image (Image2.png) I show how I would like to horizontally arrange those elements sharing in the same rank order (the elements E in that illustration). Is this possible?

Interesting question.

I don't think there is any built-in way to do this.

It may be possible to solve this by having event listeners that modify the list, using update_sortable_list(), but it probably won't be straight-forward.

I'm going to fix some bugs first, so I'll move this issue to lower priority.

Hopefully we can come back to it in future.

Meanwhile, if you find a workaround, please let me know.
