The Grid- force sort by date when in Masonry mode

Support
#1

Hello

I am currently using an instance of The Grid to sort posts by Date in Masonry mode however the order the posts are displayed in seems to be influenced by the size of the featured images. Because of this even though I have set the date of each post to try and rearrange the order they appear in within the grid, they are still appearing in an unpredictable order (if you hover your cursor over each post you can see the posts in the second row go out of order)

Is there a way to force The Grid to sort by date in Masonry mode? If so how can I implement it?

Thank you!

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in! You can only force the sorting of the date in Masonry layout if your grid items is of the same height. The purpose of using the masonry layout is to fill up any gaps and position each grid items like bricks where you will have a uniform gap left and right. This is why when masonry is enabled, the order of the date is ignore.

To resolve your issue, all grid items must have the same height. All the featured image in each of the grid items should be with the same dimensions so that you can achieve the same height.

Hope this explains it briefly.
