title: Jquery sortable('serialize')
body: <p>Is it possible to get the serialized list of items from a UL in jquery by calling the serialize method directly instead of using a callback? The code snippet:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var sortableLinks = $("#category_links_list_3");
  var linkOrderData = $(sortableLinks).sortable('serialize');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>category_links_list_3</strong>  is the id of the UL</p>
  
  <p>The DOM structure is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="hidden" id="inline_list_3"&gt;
      &lt;ul class="category_links_list ui-sortable" id="category_links_list_3"&gt;
          &lt;li class="link_title ui-state-default" id="category_link_8"&gt;Coconut Oil&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;li class="link_title ui-state-default" id="category_link_9"&gt;Hempseed&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks...</p>
