Tim Davis talked about CG Isotope and I helped him show some of its features. It's a bit long but it's worth it.
Just install this CG Isotope Component like any other Joomla! component.
This component takes all Simple Isotope functionalities.
You may Import parameters from Simple Isotope modules to CG Isotope.
Menu Joomla! Modules/Plugins is an example of how to use this component. You may find another example in my tests pages.
With your help, Isotope component is being improved, new features are implemented.
Filters may be displayed as a offcanvas list, they are called by a single button, you may see this behaviour on My modules Joomla.
It may be activated in "Layouts" tab where you decide which sections are to be in offcanvas list.
Important: all offcanvas sections have to be in consecutive order (same ligne, consecutive order).

An example of 'infinite scroll pagination' may be seen on the following page : cg-isotope-infinite
To offer more customizations, you may add javascript code.
CG Isotope Iso plugin : 3 events
- onCGIsotopeBefore,
- onCGIsotopeFilter,
- onCGIsotopeRender.
- onCGIsotopeBefore : add php code before displaying CG Isotope component page
- onCGIsotopeFilter : add articles filtering
- onCGIsotopeRender : customize article display, for example, add your own shortcodes.
Note : CG Isotope Iso plugin is given as an example and may be updated according to your wishes.

- Force featured items to be displayed first when sorting per date/title/...
- Export/import CG Isotope parameters in JSON files
