JQuery sortable/selectable plugin with drag'n'drop?

First of all, I'm not a JS developer, so I apologize if I'm asking a rather too general, previously asked or complex question. The functionality I'm searching for is that I'd like to have two HTML lists, on the load the first one is empty and I want user to pick the items he like from the second list and drag them into the first one (which should be sortable so user can set the order he likes). Is there a easy to use plugin for it?

I really like the idea and look of those two plugins..

There are doing something different, but those "bubbles" in textfield are a great way to handle it (from UX point of view). Just to be able to have an empty text field, available bubbles below it and to be able to drag them into the text field, just those user wants (no autocomplete functionality, just draging from some list of them, maybe sorting in text field available would be nice). Maybe there's a similar plugin to do that.

Another thing is, it's a part of a form so I need to be able to send those picked up elements to the server with the form, each with it's position. I know, I am asking too much but any help will help me.
