Cursor

The cursor configuration option determines the type of cursor that will be displayed while the user drags a sortable item.

For the full list of built-in cursor types, refer to quirksmode.org.

Avoid using a custom cursor in Internet Explorer. Due to the browser specifics in custom icon rendering, using a custom cursor may lead to performance issues.

The following example demonstrates how to change the cursor type to "move".

    <ul id="sortable">
        <li>ItemA1</li>
        <li>ItemA2</li>
        <li>ItemA3</li>
    </ul>

    <script>
        $("#sortable").kendoSortable({
            cursor: "move"
        });
    </script>

The cursor option changes the cursor style only for the time while the item is dragged. If you want to change the cursor type on hover, use CSS.
