Very sensible. As is so often the case, my confusion could almost certainly have been much reduced by a couple of paragraphs explaining how these jquery lists actually work; as normal the doc on jqueryui.com is written as a reference - ie something that makes perfect sense as long as you already know all about the subject...

Right now using the #onUpdate: thing is working quite reliably so I'm happy. Getting some confirmation from somebody with  real knowledge would be nice.

Slightly alarmingly I notice that openjsf.org considers JQueryUI an 'emeritus project' (https://openjsf.org/projects/) which implies no development and eventually deprecation. What is the replacement? I've seen https://github.com/SortableJS/Sortable mentioned but it doesn't appear to be official in any way.
