Am I missing a step?

[tasuki]

Hi, I don't think you're missing a step. The defaults put "upper position" (the masonry way) and "shelf order" (the order you want) with the same weight. You might want to set shelfOrder to a higher number, eg.

$('#container').masonry({
  itemSelector: '.box',
  columnWidth: 240,
  layoutPriorities: {
    shelfOrder: 10
  }
});

Also, see the docs.

If that doesn't help, post your code on jsfiddle and I'll have a look.

I've set the shelfOrder and upperPosition to different numbers, but nothing seems to be moving. I've also changed the column width number but 240 is the only number that gets Masonary to work properly. I have a feeling I'm doing something wrong.

My code is in jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/7gSgh/

The scripts are in a folder titled 'js.' Am I linking them correctly?

Thank you for your help!

Well, if the scripts are in a folder titled 'js', perhaps the paths should be:

<script src="/js/jquery.masonry.min.js"></script>
<script src="/js/jquery.masonry.ordered.js"></script>

Have you tried using Firebug or Chrome's DevTools to check the files have loaded and there are no javascript errors?

Hi tasuk. I tried linking the scripts in different ways. I even tried taking the scripts out of the js folder. I'll keep playing around with it. I think I may take Masonary out and reinsert it again to make sure I've put it in correctly. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I'll let you know how it works out.

Learn to use Javascript debugging tools, such as Firebug on Firefox or DevTools on Chromium.

I have been troubleshooting for hours. I made a mockup on http://jsfiddle.net/DqGMT/. Masonry & Masonry Ordered work as expected. Then I inserted the very same scripts in my Wordpress website, and once again it didn't work. I removed style sheets, plugins, other java scripts, Firebuged, anything that could possibly be affecting the scripts, and it still didn't work. Then I realized I was using different browsers for my website and fiddle. So I started testing my fiddle on different browsers.

Masonry & Masonry Ordered work properly on Safari and Chrome, but I don't think they work properly on Firefox. Please see for yourself by loading http://jsfiddle.net/DqGMT/ in different browsers. Am I correct? This could explain why it wasn't working on my website because I was viewing it on Firefox. Would you know of a workaround for Masonry & Masonry Order on Firefox?

[tasuki]

No idea what's wrong, your jsfiddle actually works perfectly on my side:

Different browser version? Cache? OS? Unfortunately could be almost anything...

[Antonel1]

You're right, it can be almost anything. It works fine on most browsers and systems. I'm just glad my website and your script aren't causing the problem.

JQuery Masonry Ordered works great! Thank you for all your help!

You're welcome!
