A sortable element that also has the resizable capability applied will not sort. I have created a sample file with sortables where the child elements being sorted are resizable. If I disable the line of code with resizing the sortable works. If I enable the resizable call resizing works, but the item will not sort.

The problem occurs if the resizable call is before or after the sortable call.

$(document).ready(function(){

$('.contentArea').resizable({resize:draggableResize, stop:draggableResizeComplete});

$('.contentGroup').sortable({items:'.contentArea', handle:'.moveButton', connectWith:'.contentGroup', opacity:'.5'});

});
