Restrict sorting of some elements under interconnected areas but allow sorting in there own respective area.

[Vikash]

I have two sortable areas connected to each other. Both of the areas can have sortable in there own respective area and also to each other.

There are certain elements that I want restrict for getting dragged to each other but should be allowed to be sorted in there own area.

Is it possible to achieve this with current release. If yes, please provide some guideline.

Putting an example for further explanation, this link has two way sorting http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/sortable/linkedlists but what I need to achieve is to restrict "Apricots" to get dragged under first area and at same time sorting should be allowed in original container of "Apricots". 

Cancelling the drag on "change" event also can work out for me but not finding proper way to achieve it.

Hello Vikash,

The scenario which you described is possible. Basically you should hook up to the end event and prevent the movement of the sorted item in the following way:

end: function(e) {
  if (e.action === "receive" && e.item.text() === "Apricots") {
    e.preventDefault();
  }
}

For your convenience I prepared a small example: http://trykendoui.telerik.com/@Alexander/aCiL
