    copied!<p>So I'm using jquerys sortable to sort nested form fields. Here's controller method it's submitting to when it's sorted:</p> <pre><code>def sort_questions params[:questions_attributes].to_a.each_with_index do |id, index| question = Question.find(id) question.position = index + 1 question.save(:validate =&gt; false) end render :nothing =&gt; true end </code></pre> <p>Here's the params that get passed by looking at my inspector in Chrome:</p> <pre><code> "questions_attributes"=&gt;{"1"=&gt;{"content"=&gt;"Where did you grow up?", "position"=&gt;"", "_destroy"=&gt;"false", "id"=&gt;"2"}, "0"=&gt;{"content"=&gt;"What are you doing?", "position"=&gt;"", "_destroy"=&gt;"false", "id"=&gt;"3"}} </code></pre> <p>Here's the the jquery sortable function that's being called:</p> <pre><code> $('#questions').sortable({ items:'.fields', placeholdet: true, axis:'y', update: function() { $.post("/templates/#{@template.id}/sort_questions?_method=post&amp;" + $('.edit_template').serialize()); } }); </code></pre> <p>The position attribute is not saving. I've tried all kinds of variations of the sort_questions method over and over again with no luck.</p> <p>Any help would be great. Thanks!</p> <p>Here's the full params:</p> <pre><code>"template"=&gt;{"name"=&gt;"Long Term Volunteer Opportunity", "description"=&gt;"This template will be for opportunities that are for long term missionaries.", "default"=&gt;"1", "questions_attributes"=&gt;{"0"=&gt;{"content"=&gt;"What are you doing?", "position"=&gt;"", "_destroy"=&gt;"false", "id"=&gt;"3"}, "1"=&gt;{"content"=&gt;"Where did you grow up?", "position"=&gt;"", "_destroy"=&gt;"false", "id"=&gt;"2"}}} </code></pre>
