jquery UI - able to move draggable into wrong sortable

Question

I have a draggable that I've designated to connect to a sortable .sectionList however its also connecting to another sortable .questionList. I'm pretty sure I had this working before but can't figure out what's wrong.

Answer 1

Change the items selector to > li so it only selects the immediate li items.

// sortable list(s) of sections (dragged sections target)
$('.sectionList').sortable({
    cursor:"move",
    items: "> li",
    receive: function(event,ui) {
    $('#newSection').fadeIn();
    $('#fade').fadeIn();
    $('#newName').focus();
    },

You have nested .questionsList within .selectionList so it's picking up both sortable li children.
