anybody knows how to solve this.
I need to create this using JQuery , html and css.
$(function() {
$("#tblcols").sortable({
items: '.rtab:not(.rtab:first-child)',
cursor: 'pointer',
axis: 'y',
dropOnEmpty: false,
start: function(e, ui) {
ui.item.addClass("selected");
},
stop: function(e, ui) {
ui.item.removeClass("selected");
$(this).find(".rtab").each(function(index) {
if (index > 0) {
$(this).find(".ctab").eq(2).html(index);
}
});
}
});
});
.Table {
display: table;

.Title {
display: table-caption;
text-align: center;
font-weight: bold;

I'm a little unsure what you mean. I hope I captured the main idea, that you want the first cell in each row to remain in order after items are sorted. Here is an example that might work for you.
$(function() {
$(".Table .Heading").sortable({
items: '> .htab:not(:eq(0))',
cursor: 'pointer',
axis: 'x',
dropOnEmpty: false,
placeholder: "htab placeholder",
start: function(e, ui) {
var ind = ui.item.index();
$(".Table .rtab").each(function() {
$(".ctab", this).eq(ind).css("opacity", "0.25");
});
ui.item.data("orig-index", ind);
},
stop: function() {
$(".Table .rtab .ctab").css("opacity", "");
},
update: function(e, ui) {
var oInd = ui.item.data("orig-index");
var cInd = ui.item.index();
var cols = $(".Table .htab").length;
$(".Table .rtab").each(function() {
var cell = $(".ctab", this).eq(oInd).detach();
if (cInd < (cols - 1)) {
// Mid Col
cell.insertBefore($(".ctab", this).eq(cInd));
} else {
// Last Col
$(this).append(cell);
}
})
}
});
$(".Table").sortable({
items: '> .rtab',
cursor: 'pointer',
axis: 'y',
dropOnEmpty: false,
start: function(e, ui) {
$(".ctab", ui.item).eq(0).html(" ");
},
stop: function(e, ui) {
$(".Table .rtab").each(function(ind, el) {
$(".ctab", el).eq(0).html((ind + 1));
});
}
});
});
.Table {
display: table;
}
.Title {
display: table-caption;
text-align: center;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: larger;
}
.Heading {
display: table-row;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: center;
}
.rtab {
display: table-row;
}
.ctab {
display: table-cell;
border: solid;
border-width: thin;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-right: 5px;
}
.htab {
display: table-cell;
border: solid;
border-width: thin;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-right: 5px;
}
.htab.placeholder {
background: #ccc;
width: 20px;
}

For the Header, we can sort the header items and then move the cells that correspond with it. Due to the relationship of the elements in Rows, there is not an element that contains all the column items. It effectively does what is needed, yet looks a little weird in doing it. With items we can exclude the first header.
When using Sortable for the Rows, you want to target the parent and then using items option, you can target the rows that you want to sort and those you want to exclude. Since we're sorting the rows and not the items inside, there is not a good way to exclude an item in the row.
When Sort starts, cell 0 is change to so it does not shrink too much. Once sort is stopped, it re-indexes the rows back into order. If we use update it will only fire when a change is performed. So if the user grabs a row and doesn't move it, there is not update. To address this, we can use stop to re-index.
Hope that helps.
