## What it is
A set of React higher-order components that turn any list into an animated, accessible, touch-friendly sortable list. It supports drag handles, auto-scrolling, horizontal/vertical/grid layouts, virtualization libraries, and keyboard sorting.

## Use cases
- make a react list sortable with drag and drop
- add touch-friendly reordering to a list
- sortable grid with smooth animations
- keyboard-accessible list sorting in react
- drag to reorder items in a virtualized list

## When to choose
- maintaining an existing codebase that already uses react-sortable-hoc
- you need a lightweight HOC-based sortable list for older React versions

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use @dnd-kit instead, as this library is no longer actively maintained
- your app targets future React versions where findDOMNode is removed
- you need complex drag-and-drop use cases or modern accessibility features

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, animation, frontend-framework
- domain: frontend, web-development, accessibility
- platform: browser
- tags: react, drag-and-drop, sortable-list, higher-order-component, touch-support, keyboard-accessible, deprecated, web-server, nodejs
