jQuery UI - Allow sortable elements to be positioned freely on the screen

I am trying to use jQuery UI's Draggable & Sortable to make an object able to be freely moved within an element, without having to remain next to another obje开发者_开发百科ct.

How can I achieve this?

If I got the question you were trying to ask properly. This is generally achieved from just using the draggable option only.

See this demo here.
