Isotope enables intelligent, dynamic layouts for listed items. Layouts can be arranged in columns, rows, grids, or more complexly like [Masonry](http://desandro.com/resources/jquery-masonry).
### Filtering
Items can be hidden and shown easily just by using simple jQuery selectors.
### Sorting
These items can then be rearranged in their order via sorting. Sorting relies on any data held within an item.
All these behaviors leverage animation to produce engaging interfaces. The best CSS transition and transform features are utilized when available.
