Incorrect `ui.oldindex` and `ui.item.index()` when using `items` options about html5sortable

[lacek]

For Ember users who may have the same problem, my workaround is to use CollectionView to generate the ul: http://jsbin.com/lemahu/4/edit

Wouldn't it be sensible to do it this way, because if you want to add an item to the list the actual position it should be appended to is the index you get.

I don't know ember, and the <script> tags seem a little weird to me, but if you have a list like the following I would think an index should include the disabled item, so when you add a ne item with js (like moving to a connected list) it gets the correct position.

<ul>
  <li class="disabled">...<li>
  <li>...</li>
  <li>...</li>
  <li>...</li>
</ul>

@lukasoppermann I agree that it's weird ember generates such script tags and they're actually breaking the HTML structure. Nevertheless, since the items option is for specifying which items inside the element should be sortable, I naturally think that the index is referring to position among the sortable items but in fact it is the position among the item's sibling elements. If this is the original design, I think it should be stated in the documentation.

@lacek I see what you mean, as I thought the same for a moment, but consider you want to add an item into your list at the visual index 2. If you would use index: 2 it would be added before the visible items, so it actually makes sense to calculate the "real index".

Do you have a use-case where it is necessary to have the index of only the items? I guess you could always send a PR adding another value to the event like items-index or maybe something with a better name.

I do also agree on a need to document this behaviour so maybe you want to send a separate PR for this?
