jQuery Question

jQuery sortable and nested lists

I have a large list that I am trying to get so its sortable.

I would like the parent items

.cat-title
to be sortable between each other and this will move the children along with them. but then I would like the
.cat-title
's children to be sortable between each
.cat-title
.

Its like categories and sub items but jQuery sortable just is not doing what I had expected it to do

jsFiddle

$(function() {

    $( "#user-stream-list > .feed" ).sortable();

});

Your selector is only trying to sort the all of the li's. Sortable needs to be called on each individual list (specifically the ul tag). This is what determines the boundaries of where things can be dragged. So give each list an id then just make them all sortable. (Look below) 

<ul id="user-stream-list" class="user-stream-list">
<li class="feed ui-sortable "><span class="cat-title" data-title="5">Apple</span>
    <ul id="appleSub">
        <li class="feed sub"><a data-uid="15" data-fid="11" href="http://appleinsider.com/appleinsider.rss"><img src="https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=appleinsider.com" class="favicon"><span class="title">AppleInsider</span><span class="options"><span data-fid="11" class="addcat">+</span><span class="delete">×</span></span></a></li>
        <li class="feed sub"><a data-uid="15" data-fid="29" href="http://9to5mac.com/feed/"><img src="https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=9to5mac.com" class="favicon"><span class="title">9to5Mac</span><span class="options"><span data-fid="29" class="addcat">+</span><span class="delete">×</span></span></a></li>
    </ul>
</li>
<li class="feed ui-sortable"><span class="cat-title" data-title="15">Gadgets</span>
    <ul id="gadgetSub">
        <li class="feed sub"><a data-uid="15" data-fid="2" href="http://www.engadget.com/rss.xml"><img src="https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=www.engadget.com" class="favicon"><span class="title">Engadget</span><span class="options"><span data-fid="2" class="addcat">+</span><span class="delete">×</span></span></a></li>
        <li class="feed sub"><a data-uid="15" data-fid="59" href="http://feeds.gawker.com/gizmodo/vip"><img src="https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=feeds.gawker.com" class="favicon"><span class="title">Gizmodo</span><span class="options"><span data-fid="59" class="addcat">+</span><span class="delete">×</span></span></a></li>
