 * not sure when this stopped working but i can no longer update positions. I can
   drag and drop OK but on trying to update i get this error –
 * Error: cannot call methods on sortable prior to initialization; attempted to 
   call method ‘serialize’ on wordpress’s wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js

 * Most probably another plugin de-register the default jQuery sortable and enqueue
   another one. You should try to de-active the plugins one by one to see which 
   one create the problem. You may want to switch the theme to default to make sure
   it’s not the problem.
    You can also try a browser cache clear or another browser.

 * OK – still got nowhere with this despite deactivating all other plugins and removing
   all related queued scripts. Could you supply the correct cods to get this working
   with jquery?
 * I’v bought the advanced version so would be good to be able to use this. Weirdly
   the non advanced version works fine but obviously i want to re-order inside categories.
 * I can drag the objects but when i click update i still get this error.

 * Using the latest version of WP and plugin.

 * In fact all versions newer than 2.5.4.9 can be updated automatically through 
   WordPress, either from Plugins or Dashboard Updates.
