Getting handle on dropped item, not table in persistState function

[boofman15]

After a column is dropped I need to call a custom API that stores the new order. I need to get a handle on the column heading just dropped because it has data attributes with data I need to send. Looks like the persistState function just has a handle on the table.

Is there anyway to know which heading was just dropped within the table and get a handle on that?

Glad I found this plugin. Does just about everything I need it to do.

Thanks!

Need this as well! @boofman15 Where you able to figure something out?

Sorry @alejorivera, I did not figure this out.

Thanks! If it's still helpful to you (or anyone else), I figured it out. Here's how to get the element that was just dropped:

$('#main_table').dragtable({
    persistState: function(data) {
       dropped_element = $(data.el).find("th")[data.endIndex - 1];
      // Do something with the element that was just dropped.
    }
});
