Randomize bricks in Masonry

is it possible to randomize the bricks in the JQuery plugi开发者_运维知识库n Masonry so that every time the page loads a different arrangement is viewed? There is no option for random as far as I can tell.

Thanks!

I found an answer over on the jQuery forums and I tweaked it a bit for my needs. In short - you pull the HTML bits inside your masonry() holder and you randomize the collection, then you put it back:

  $(document).ready(function(){
    var ar = $('#masonry').children();
    ar.sort(function(a,b){
      // Get a random number between 0 and 10
      var temp = parseInt( Math.random()*10 );
      // Get 1 or 0, whether temp is odd or even
      var isOddOrEven = temp%2;
      // Get +1 or -1, whether temp greater or smaller than 5
      var isPosOrNeg = temp>5 ? 1 : -1;
      // Return -1, 0, or +1
      return( isOddOrEven*isPosOrNeg );
    });
    $('#masonry').html(ar);
    $('#masonry').masonry({ 
      columnWidth:220,
      animate: true
    });
  });

I think a more appropriate plugin for your would be Isotope, it's built the same way as Masonry (and by the same guy!) but has sorting and filtering features built-in

(function($) {

$.fn.randomize = function(childElem) {
  return this.each(function() {
      var $this = $(this);
      var elems = $this.children(childElem);

      elems.sort(function() { return (Math.round(Math.random())-0.5); });  

      $this.remove(childElem);  

      for(var i=0; i < elems.length; i++)
        $this.append(elems[i]);      

  });    
}
})(jQuery);


$(window).load(function(){
  $(masonry-container).randomize(masonry-brick).masonry('reload');
});
