I use the following code to reorder items on my website:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $("#my-list").sortable({
        stop: function (event, ui) {
            var id = $(ui.item).attr('id');

            var url = '/en/account/changeposition?id=idreplace&position=posReplace';

            url = url.replace("idreplace", id);
            url = url.replace("posReplace", ui.item.index());

            window.location.href = url;
        },
        distance: 15
    });
});

However, even if I don't change element position and place element at the same place, Jquery UI will call 'stop'-function.

Is it possible to detect if element index (position) was changed without using custom data attributes?

// I would like to avoid adding custom data attributes like this:
<li id="id100" data-original-position="1"></li>
<li id="id101" data-original-position="2"></li>
jquery jquery-ui
