<p>I'm using the sortable function in jquery to sequence a faq list.  Needless to say, i'm new to this concept.  Anybody have any good examples of the backend for this.  I have the front working fine, but updating the sequence in the database is another story. My backend is ColdFusion btw.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>

Define the faq:
```
```
<div id="faq">
  <div id="q1">...</div>
  <div id="q2">...</div>
  (...)
  <div id="q100">..</div>
</div>
```
```
Make faq sortable:
```
```
<script type="text/javascript">
  $("#faq").sortable();
</script>
```
```
Form submitted:
```
```
<form action="..." id="faq_form">
  <input type="hidden" name="faqs" id="faqs" />
  ...
</form>
```
```
Add sorted sequence to form
```
```
<script type="text/javascript>
  $("#faq_form").submit(function() {
    $("#faqs").val($("#faq").sortable('toArray'))
  })
</script>
```
```
When form is submitted, field "faqs" will contain comma separated id's from #faq like this:
q1,q3,q10,q11,q2,q100...
Just parse it and save to DB
