I call sortable.stop() to make an ajax call to store some data after drag&drop operation.

When the ajax call returns an error (application logic error or net problem) I want to move the dragged element to its original/start position, how can I achieve it?

The scenario should be

  1. user drags A to B
  2. the sortable.stop() event is called, it triggers an ajax call
  3. the ajax call returns an error
  4. inside the stop() event we get the ajax error
  5. move A to its original position
  6. user again move A to B
  7. everything is ok
  8. A remains in its new position in B

Steps 6-8 are shown to clarify a successive drag can be done and previous error must be forgotten
