+ [**Filtering**](filtering.html): Hide and reveal item elements easily with jQuery selectors.
+ [**Sorting**](sorting.html): Re-order item elements with sorting. Sorting data can be extracted from just about anything.
+ **Interoperability**: features can be utilized together for a cohesive experience.
+ **Progressive enhancement**: Isotope's [animation engine](animating.html) takes advantage of CSS transitions and transforms when available, but will also fall back to Javascript animation for lesser browsers.

masonry is the default layout mode for Isotope. Item elements are arranged intelligently within a grid. For each item element, the script calculates the next best fit for the item within the grid.
A grid layout where items are centered inside each cell. The grid is defined by two options, `columnWidth` and `rowHeight`. The horizontal equivalent of cellsByRow.
### Options {#masonry-options}
### Options {#cellsByColumn-options}
<dl class="clearfix">
<dt><code>columnWidth</code></dt>
<dd class="option-type">Integer</dd>
</dl>
<dl class="clearfix">
<dt><code>rowHeight</code></dt>
<dd class="option-type">Integer</dd>
</dl>
The width of one column in the grid. If no value is set for `columnWidth`, default is the width of the first item element.
### Example {#masonry-example}
### Example {#cellsByColumn-example}
{% highlight javascript %}
$('#container').isotope({
masonry : {
columnWidth : 240
layoutMode : 'cellsByRow',
cellsByRow : {
columnWidth : 240,
rowHeight : 360

});

## fitRows
Item elements are arranged into rows. Similar to what you would expect from a layout that uses `float: left`

## fitColumns
The horizontal equivalent of masonry layout. Instead of progressing top-to-bottom, masonryHorizontal layout will progress left-to-right. Item elements are arranged intelligently within a grid. For each item element, the script calculates the next best fit for the item within the grid.

## straightDown
Item elements are arranged vertically top to bottom. Useful for simple lists.
## Horizontal layouts
Horizontal layout modes (masonryHorizontal, fitColumns, and cellsByColumn) need a container that has a height value. Be sure that your CSS has height set.
