I play since several hours with sortablelist too. This is how I made it work:
xtype: 'list',
plugins:'sortablelist',
itemTpl: '<span class="'+Ext.baseCSSPrefix + 'list-sortablehandle"></span>{text}',
listeners: [
{
event: 'dragsort',
fn: function(list, row, from, to){
alert(to);
}
}
],
...
Note, you need a "handle" in order to work. Handle is the area where you tap and the list item become draggable. Default selector for handle is
'.' + Ext.baseCSSPrefix + 'list-sortablehandle'
and you could define different selector with the handleSelector parameter.
However I couldn't made it work as it should be working. List items became draggable, but they don't snap and reorder. Either there is some issue with it, or I'm still missing something. Please, post here if you have any success.
Edit: I just tested it one more time on Sencha Fiddle: https://fiddle.sencha.com/fiddle/3k3/preview
Still not working as expected.
