ASP.NET Web Service example with jQuery UI Sortable serialize method

Question

I am building jQuery UI sortable to store order in the database using serialize and ASP.NET Web Service.

I know how to do it in php, but I am not sure how to do it in ASP.NET... I tried googling with little success.

   $('#mylist').sortable({
        handle: ".handle",
        axis: "y",
        update: function () {
            var order = $(this).sortable('serialize');
            alert(order);
        }
    });

Gives me query string item[]=2&item[]=1&item[]=3&item[]=4

I need to pass that into Web Service, and store the new order into the database.

what i think is execute the code below

$('#mylist').sortable({
    handle: ".handle",
    axis: "y",
    update: function () {
        var order = $(this).sortable('toArray');
    }
});

which gives array of id's in the order they appear. Now when u save and get this array back do this. //psedocode

for each id in the arrayList
GetElementByid(id); attach to parent UL

at last if u see, the list will be arranged as previous states
