Hi

I assume that your _itemList variable is set via self model items: items.

If so then it looks like it will become an array due to the callback:passengers: sent to JQAjax:

(html jQuery ajax

callback: [:items | self model items: items]
passengers: (html jQuery this find: 'li')

The implementation:

callback: aBlock passengers: aQuery

"Trigger the callback aBlock with the passengers of aQuery. Nodes that have no passenger are ignored."

self

callback: [ :value |

aBlock value: (((value subStrings: ',')

collect: [ :each | self renderContext callbacks passengerAt: each ])

reject: [ :each | each isNil ]) ]

value: (JSStream on: JQuery functionName , '.map(' , aQuery greaseString , '.get(),function(each){return each.id}).join(",")')

uses (value subStrings: ',') which will return an array.

You could modify your setter accessor items: to modify the collection using asOrderedCollection if you need this...?

Kind Regards

Carlo

My instance variable _itemList is initially OrderedCollection. As soon as I move the rows around in the page then entire list is sent back in it's new order. However, this time setItemList: receives an Array.

Does this make any sense? Am I missing something?
