Grid messes up chronological display

    There was already an older entry about this problem, but there was never an answer, so I don’t know if this problem is solved now.

    I currently have four blog entries. On my start page all of them are displayed side by side (1, 2, 3, 4). If I shrink the browser window now, only three (1, 2, 3) are shown in the first line and the fourth (4) in the second line. The chronological order remains the original one. But if I make the browser window even smaller, only two posts per line will be shown. In the first line the order is correct (1, 2). But in the second line the order is reversed (4, 3).

    Since only the older posts are affected and the newest ones are always on top, I think this is a rather minor problem, but maybe there is a solution.

    Thank you for this really beautiful theme.

    Best regards
    Martin

    Hi @martinleurs,

    The solution used for laying out the grid – Masonry – doesn’t really take the post date of the posts in account. Since the posts are output in chronological order, they usually end up being displayed in that order as well when they’re sorted into the grid, but not always. If the chronological order of the posts results in the grid being visually uneven, Masonry will try to reorder the post previews to even out the grid, resulting in them not being ordered chronologically.

    I’m afraid there’s not much that can be done to ensure that they always are displayed chronologically, other than replacing the solution used (Masonry) with one that supports ordering by a meta value (I think Isotope, by the same developer, does). It would require quite a bit of custom development, in other words.
