An ul list contains some items. The last item must always stay in a static position. I've tried to use cancel option of the .sortable() method, but it doesn't switch off sortable, just dragging.

<ul id="sort">
    <li>Jquery</li>
    <li>MooTools</li>
    <li>Prototype</li>
    <li>YUI</li>
    <li class="last">must stay static (add position button)</li>
</ul>

$('#sort').sortable({
    cancel: '.last'
});

You can use the items options to specify a selector which excludes items that expose the last class:

$('#sort').sortable({
    items: "li:not(.last)"
});
