I have a Draggable View setup to display menu items for a restaurant menu that I want to have reorder the menu items by category (Starters, Entrees etc.)

Rather than having this menu view consist of a single table, I am using the Insert View module to insert multiple instances of this view onto my menu page using arguments for the category so that I have a separate draggable table for each different menu category. I have themed the draggable table the way that I like and everything looks good. I've attached a sample image of a portion of the page showing the multiple views with separate save buttons.

The problem is that the reordering feature does not seem to work when clicking on the "Save order" button except on the first view on the page. If I reorder items in any of the other views on the same page, the ordering of the first view gets changed.

Is there any way to use multiple, draggable views on a single page? Ideally, I am only looking for the drag functionality for administrative purposes.

You must use different views (or simply different displays) rather than different instances of the same view (and display). Then the form-information will be handled appropriately.

i think this is a reasonable, maybe not too simple, feature request (to have multiple instances of the same view working).

Another vote for multiple instances of same view reordering. Came across this thread after finding that only my first view instance was correctly saving its order, and the rest failed

Edit: Admittedly, it's not too difficult to simply set up CCK fields for handlers, and create a separate view that lists all the items and order them that way, but it would be very slick to have the multiple view instances draggable

Update:

I'm testing my page with multiple draggable views in firefox and it seems to be working fine...

Maybe related to this issue : http://drupal.org/node/1162660

More tests to come...

I would say that this functionality will be possible after fixing #634230: One view to organize, one to display? that we will do in 7.x-2.x branch. Closing this ticket.
