I am trying to build a very simple angularjs directive that will allow me to nest jquery-ui sortable lists.

I have a pure jquery version that works but when I add in the angularjs directive code it seems to not enable any child elements with the connectWith arguement. Additionally, using the angular version, if I add a dummy <li> element in my sub-list jquery seems to recognize it as a list. I'm not sure what's causing the behavior.

Can you spot what I'm doing wrong?

Does not work without <li> element in sub-list

Works with dummy <li> element but that element can be moved around and causes confusion.

Angular-ui has a ui:sortable directive. You don't need jquery for this to work. Look at this fiddle

 <ul ui:sortable ng:model="list">

The important piece here is that I should be able to nest them. I'm no expert in angular-ui but i don't think what you give me can accomplish that... jsfiddle.net/comamitc/hKYWr/1337
@comamitc, sure it can: jsfiddle.net/hKYWr/1338 The only thing that won't make you happy is that you still need a "dummy" <li> with the ng-repeat, but that's just how Angular works.
As sergey said, you can do nested list with ui:sortable. And I really recommend angular-ui, there are lots of great ui widgets ready for use with angularjs.
@SergeyK @zszep can you point me to some documentation? It doesn't register with my why (in your example) I cannot add Item2 to the List containing [Item1.A, Item1.B, Item1.C].
@comamitc The documentation can be found at github.com/angular-ui/ui-sortable
