The Sortable widget appendTo option is used to append the elements when the sortable elements are dragged with mouse.

Syntax:

$( ".selector" ).sortable({
  appendTo: document.body
});

Approach: First, add jQuery UI scripts needed for your project.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script>

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>

Example:

HTML 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

    <link rel="stylesheet" href=
        "//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/resources/demos/style.css">
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script>
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>
    <style>
        #sortable {
            list-style-type: none;
            width: 50%;
        }

        #sortable li {
            margin: 10px 0;
            padding: 0.5em;
            font-size: 25px;
            height: 20px;
        }
    </style>

    <script>
        $(function () {
            $("#sortable").sortable({
                appendTo: document.body
            });
        });
    </script>
</head>

<body>
    <center>
        <h1 style="color: green;">GeeksforGeeks</h1>
