<script src=”https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js”></script>

<script src=”https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js”></script>

Example:




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  
    <link rel="stylesheet" 
    href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">

    <script 
    </script>
    <style>
        #sortable {

                axis: "x"
            });
        });
    </script>
