There is no way to remove the event listeners once they are added

[wardtm11]

I noticed that there is no way to add and remove nativesortable's functionality "easily" on the fly - the only way I have been able to remove the functionality is by cloning the element I added it to, and replacing the original with the clone (removes all listeners). I believe this is because the functions attached to the listeners are private, and are treated as anonymous by the browser - so I have no way to remove them directly.

There might be something I'm missing, though. Is there any way to add this to an element and remove it without recreating the element?

You are right, there isn't a way to destroy the functionality right now. If someone would be interested in adding this, I'd accept a PR. We could make nativesortable return an object with a destroy function that cleans up after itself.
