    copied!<p>Following will sort the elements after the drop.</p> <pre><code> $('#boxes_holder, #dragBox').sortable({ connectWith: '.initBox', //Whenever Dropped Item receive: function (event, ui) { $(this).find('div.boxes').sort(sortAlpha).appendTo(this); if ($(this).children().length &gt; 5) { if ($(this).attr('id') == 'dragBox') { $(ui.sender).sortable('cancel'); } } } }); function sortAlpha(a,b){ return a.innerHTML.toLowerCase() &gt; b.innerHTML.toLowerCase() ? 1 : -1; } </code></pre> <p>Check the unfiddle. <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/nsjithin/7yMSz/1/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/nsjithin/7yMSz/1/</a></p> <p>Edit : So it need to sorted whenever, the position changed, sorted or dragged/dropped. You need to put it in the <code>update</code> event handler.</p> <pre><code> $('#boxes_holder, #dragBox').sortable({ connectWith: '.initBox', update: function( event, ui ) { $(this).find('div.boxes').sort(sortAlpha).appendTo(this); }, //Whenever Dropped Item receive: function (event, ui) { if ($(this).children().length &gt; 4) { if ($(this).attr('id') == 'dragBox') { $(ui.sender).sortable('cancel'); } } } }); </code></pre> <p>Edit 2 : Working with the <code>&lt;li&gt;</code> html structure.</p> <pre><code>$('#boxes_holder, #dragBox').sortable({ connectWith: '.initBox', update: function( event, ui ) { $(this).find('li').sort(sortAlpha).appendTo(this); }, //Whenever Dropped Item receive: function (event, ui) { if ($(this).children().length &gt; 4) { if ($(this).attr('id') == 'dragBox') { $(ui.sender).sortable('cancel'); } } } }); function sortAlpha(a,b){ return a.innerHTML.toLowerCase() &gt; b.innerHTML.toLowerCase() ? 1 : -1; } </code></pre> <p>Jsfiddle : <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/nsjithin/7yMSz/3/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/nsjithin/7yMSz/3/</a></p>
