jQuery UI Sortable: no changing order of items while sorting

By default, while sorting, items are replaced (for example, if I take the third element and move it to the first, than the first and the second elements will move down)

I 开发者_JAVA技巧do not need this behaviour. I'd like elements not to change order while I finish sorting (release mouse).

I need this because I want to ask user if he want to change element or to re-order?

P.S. option tolerance have only 2 options, and they don't help in this situation.

I meant something like this (sortable list with option of replacing elements):

$(function() {

  var

    /**
     * Sortable List, that can insert or replace elements
     */
    SortableList = (function() {

      var

        // Configuration of Sortable list
        // css classes of separator and sortable elements
        // jQuery UI droppable and sortable init configuration
        CONFIG = {

          'confirm-message': 'Insert? Element will be removed',

          'separator-class': 'sortable-separator',
          'sortable-class': 'sortable-elem',

          // Initialization of jQuery UI Droppable
          'separators-droppable-init': {
            drop: function(e, ui) {
              // Insertation
              var drag = ui.draggable,
                drop = $(this),
                a = drop.prev(),
                b = drop.next();

              Separators.clean();
              Elements.insert(a, b, drag);
              Separators.init();
            },
            over: function(e, ui) {
              $(this).css({
                'background-color': 'lightgreen'
              });
            },
            out: function(e, ui) {
              $(this).css({
                'background-color': 'white'
              });
            }
          },

          'sortable-droppable-init': {
            drop: function(e, ui) {
              // Replace
