mooTree – Sortable Nested Lists
Introduction
This mootools based script allows drag-and-drop reordering of nested lists. Most sortable scripts at the time were restricted to only a single level of list, where as this script could handle many levels.
Status
This script has since been abandoned by myself. I didn’t need it during my work as a web developer and thus couldn’t find the time to keep developing it. It was quite feature complete but hasn’t been updated to take advantage of the latest mootools.
If you wish to take anything from the code or take over the project itself, please feel free. Just let me know how it goes

Hello,
This script is exactly what I need for my CMS. The problem is that I don’t understand how this javascript code gets posted to the database. How do I use PHP to update the database with this script? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi Jeff,
It’s probably best to try and work out what’s happening on the page http://www.ljpilon.nl/moofx/sorted-list-galore.php
I’ve sort of abandoned this project now and never actually made use of my own script. Hopefully that page can help you (or it’s author) otherwise I’m sure there must be better alternatives out there by now. Just pester the author’s of them to get all of these features in
Good luck
Misterdai,
Can you post the PHP code that’s in save.php?
Thanks
Jeff, try looking at the following link. I think it explains all the server-side stuff for the script.
