Jquery UI Sortable - setting items option

Question

guys! I have a problem. I need to initialize my sortable() with items 'li:not(.someclass)'. If I set:

$('ul').sortable({ items: 'li:not(.someclass)' });

everything works fine. But if I try:

$('ul').sortable().sortable('option', 'items', 'li:not(.someclass)');

It doesn't work. Why option 'items' exists if it doesn't work correctly or what is correct way to set up items through options?

Try examples here.

You can use cancel (Couldn't get items working) - Demo

$('ul').sortable();
$("ul").sortable("option", 'cancel', 'ul > li.last');

Thanks a lot. Everything is fine! Is any way to set items, not cancel (in general case)?

I tried it also, but doesnt seem to work. probably need to check its an issue. Cause i see multiple threads on it.
