I understand how the sortable lists work in Rails (using the LI  
elements). I cannot seem to apply this though to floats - does the  
acts\_as\_sortable plugin helper only work with line item elements?

I would like to be able to have something like the demo link above -  
where I can rearrange/sort floats. Are there any tutorials on how to  
do this in Rails?
