[Rails] How to save values from Sortable Unordered List?

I've a sortable unordered list as follows. How do I use controller to detect this element and get the contents to save each LI item into a row in the database?

<ul id="show-items" class="ui-sortable">

<li id="todo-163"><span class="editable">1. Good</span> <a href="#" style="display: none;">X</a></li>

<li id="todo-190"><span class="editable">2. Better</span> <a href="#" style="display: none;">X</a></li>

<li id="todo-189"><span class="editable">3. Best</span> <a href="#" style="display: none;">X</a></li>

</ul>
