<div>
<p>Serializes the sortable's item <code>id</code>s into a form/ajax submittable string. Calling this method produces a hash that can be appended to any url to easily submit a new item order back to the server.</p>
<p>It works by default by looking at the <code>id</code> of each item in the format <code>"setname_number"</code>, and it spits out a hash like <code>"setname[]=number&amp;setname[]=number"</code>.</p>
<p><em>Note: If serialize returns an empty string, make sure the <code>id</code> attributes include an underscore. They must be in the form: <code>"set_number"</code> For example, a 3 element list with <code>id</code> attributes <code>"foo_1"</code>, <code>"foo_5"</code>, <code>"foo_2"</code> will serialize to <code>"foo[]=1&amp;foo[]=5&amp;foo[]=2"</code>. You can use an underscore, equal sign or hyphen to separate the set and number. For example <code>"foo=1"</code>, <code>"foo-1"</code>, and <code>"foo_1"</code> all serialize to <code>"foo[]=1"</code>.</em></p>
