Sortable end event: too many items in list

[Ed]

I've created a jsFiddle to show the issue.

http://jsfiddle.net/edsinek/wh9wf5fq/

drag and reorder the items and in the end event, there should be 2 items in the list, but it shows there are 3. How can I make sure I always have 2 items in the end event?

In the real code, I have a numbered list and when I reorder, I want to update the numbers, but the incorrect number of items is interfering with the re-numbering code.

Thanks,

--Ed

Hello Ed,

Thank you for the example.

The additional element is the placeholder, by design it is appended in the Sortable container which is why at the end event you find 3 <li> elements. For more information please see this help article:

• http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/web/sortable/overview#placeholder

You may use the change event where the placeholder will be already removed by the framework.
