This looks simple enough, but for some reason the order isn’t saving in the database for me, though i have the default position column in my acts_as_list model.

Also in your sort method you don’t declare a render or anything, so rails by default will try to render the sort template. I will look for a way to stop any response but if you know I’m sure it would be helpful to a lot of people to post it. for now I’m just making it render an empty template. But since this is an ajax request which simply does a save, it would be best performance-wise to not render anything. dyt?

You must put this on the sort method, I think:

render :nothing => true

I have a more advanced question for anyone who can answer.
How do I drag and drop items between lists like Jason does in the basecamp demo video? I want to drag an element from list “A” and drop it in list “B”. Any ideas?.

Thanks! Solved my problem. Just added .now to flash and the extra notice disappears. You’re right, it seems strange. I’m left with a queasy feeling. But hey it works.
