Here is my output, I don’t know if I’m doing right, I don’t know how to apply background on div that will look like a row, just like my example above.

It looks to me like the text on the left relates to the text on the right.
If that is the case, this should be reflected structurally in the mark-up, with the left and right item for each row sharing a common parent element.
This would probably make this arrangement easier too.

I think I achieve the markup, but the only problem is when I sort, the whole row will move.

but I noticed the button is not aligned as you can see on the right side

Unless you can reprogram the sortable elements in JS so that they can be split from each other I don’t see an easy way to do this.

Probably the easiest option is to fake it using your first example but it is a bit rigid and you can’t let the text wrap to another line.

I don’t know enough about ui.sortable to know whether the sortable items can be split over various rows so can’t really offer anything better.
