$( "#sortable" ).sortable();    $( "#sortable" ).disableSelection();window.getValues = function() {    $.each($('#sortable').find('li'), function() {        alert($(this).text());    });}

#sortable { list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 60%; }  #sortable li { margin: 0 3px 3px 3px; padding: 0.4em; padding-left: 1.5em; font-size: 1.4em; height: 18px; }  #sortable li span { position: absolute; margin-left: -1.3em; }
