Sortable Table Row Using jQuery UI

 

Create basic index.html page with necessary js and css libraries added to it.

First create new project named sortable-table in your htdocs/www folder. Then create index.html file and add the basic HTML markup in it. Mainly download js and CSS libraries from the following links which are needed for this functionality.

http://jquery.com/

http://jqueryui.com/

Create CSS and js folders in the sortable-table directory and put css and js files in it.

 

Copy and paste the following markup into in your index.html page.


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

    <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Droid+Sans:400,700|Noto+Serif:400,700"> 
    <!-- Bootstrap core CSS -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/jquery-ui.min.css">
    <link href="css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <link href="css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet">
  </head>

  <body>

  
    <script src="js/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script src="js/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
    <script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
    <script src="js/auto.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

Create HTML table index.html Page

Now copy and paste following HTML markup in between HTML body tags of index.html to create HTML table.


<div class="table-responsive">
    <table class="table table-bordered" id="invoice_table">
        <thead>
            <tr>
                <th>#</th>
                <th>Item No</th>
                <th>Item Name</th>
                <th>Price</th>
                <th>Quantity</th>
                <th>Total</th>
            </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
            <tr>
                <th scope="row">1</th>
                <td>3453</td>
                <td>Product 1</td>
                <td>30</td>
                <td>10</td>
                <td>300</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <th scope="row">2</th>
                <td>3464</td>
                <td>Product 2</td>
                <td>20</td>
                <td>5</td>
                <td>100</td>
            </tr>
        </tbody>
    </table>
</div>

Integrate jQuery UI sortable functionality to HTML Table

Now add the following jQuery script before closing of the body tag, which adds the sortable functionality to the table rows within tbody tag.


<script>
	//Sortable
	$(document).ready(function(){
		$('#invoice_table tbody').sortable({
			  axis: "Y",
			  containment: "#table_container",
			  cursor: "move",
			  delay: 150,
			  distance: 5
		});
	});
</script>

Where
Axis:

If defined, the table rows can be dragged only horizontally or vertically. Possible values: “x”, “y”.

Cursor :

Defines the cursor that is being shown while sorting.

Delay:

Time in milliseconds to define when the sorting should start. Adding a delay helps preventing unwanted drags when clicking on an element.

Distance:

Tolerance, in pixels, for when sorting should start.
