Saving Sortable State

[B]

Is it possible to save the state of how a panel group was arranged using the sortable control?

Hi Brandon,

The Sortable control does not provide ability for saving the items order out of the box.
You may handle that manually when the change event of the widget fires. For more information please check this help topic:

There have been a few updates to the platform since this thread was created. Is it possible yet to persist the order of the Sortables?

I am bit stumped why this is not basic functionality. What use is the sortable if you can't persist it?

Here I am 6 years later with the same issue. I agree wholeheartedly. Seems that this should be basic functionality. Hopefully, I can figure this out from the local storage example which I find quite confusing.

Hi Beryl,

In order to achieve the desired behavior, I would recommend trying the approach from the following demo:

• https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid/persist-state

It includes the needed use of the localStorage and the expected behavior.

Make the needed tests locally with the demo above and let me know if further assistance is needed.

Kind Regards,

Hello Michael,

Sortable widget does not persist the order automatically. The widget does not have dataBinding because it can be initialized from various mark-up.

If you want a widget with dataBinding, automatic re-rendering and data synchronization you may use ListView with Sortable. Please check this help topic:
