jQWidgets is a JavaScript framework for making web-based applications for PC and mobile devices. It is a very powerful and optimized framework, platform-independent, and widely supported. jqxSortable represents a jQuery plugin which allows you to reorder elements in a HTML list or div tags using the mouse.

The delay property is used to set or return the delay after sorting should start. It accepts number type values and its default value is 0.

Syntax:

Set the delay property:

$('Selector').jqxSortable({ delay : number });

Return the delay property:

var delay = $('Selector').jqxSortable('delay');
