sort on page load?

[boblodi]

Hi - great plugin and it worked for me when raw code would not. However, is there a way to call the$grid.isotope({ sortBy: 'whatever' }) while using the plugin? i am using this for a "meet the team" page for a client, and their team members need to be in a particular order. I was hoping to sort by the WP page attributes "order" field.

There may be a way to manage it if I modify the sixtenpress_isotope_options filter, but it may not be possible to do it and maintain backwards compatibility (I'm looking into it). Looking at the isotope docs, though, this filter in isotope will only help you if you are adding the member order as a class to the individual members, right? So you would still need to get the order field added as a class.

What I've done for an archive which needed a custom order was to use the pre_get_posts and modify the query there in the PHP, which has worked nicely, and I think might be an easier approach. Then your ordering is maintained, even if you eventually decide not to use this plugin.

Thanks - I can totally give that a shot.

There is also interest in targeting a pre-sort from a link on another
page. I may try to figure that out too...
