SortableJS/Sortable

This system is a modular drag-and-drop utility library that provides flexible sorting, swapping, and multi-selection capabilities for web interfaces. It supports advanced interaction patterns including automatic scrolling, item swapping, and multi-item dragging, all accessible through a plugin-based architecture. The library is distributed as a set of optimized, tree-shakeable modules to minimize bundle size while maintaining full functionality.
