(README) Help Wanted

[lukescott]

As many of you are aware I have not been very active lately. The reason for this is I am involved with a major project for work that takes up most of my time. What's left over I used to spend on side projects. I've come to realize that I need to spend more time with family, and I've been doing that. When the project is done I'll have more energy to spend on projects like this.

I'll be spending what time I can resolving as many of the outstanding issues that I can. Not all issues can be resolved cleanly, given how the extension works.

I have an experimental (and incomplete) version in the experimental branch. Instead of trying to subclass a layout and reorder the visible cells it does the re-ordering at layout calculation instead of post-calculation. This solves the problem of having differing cell sizes. Unfortunately this means that I've had to re-implement Apple's Flow Layout from scratch. Other layouts will have to support it directly in their layout calculations.

If anyone is interested in continuing my experimental work, you are more than welcome to do so. Let me know! I won't be able to get to it for a 2-3 months at least. The flow layout itself is incomplete. There are also some iOS 7 optimizations with layout recalculations that need to be take into account (context). The goal is to have it be 1-to-1 with Apple's implementation, plus the ability to specify alignment of the rows (left, center, right, justified - Apple has this functionality in their internal class, but they have made it private).

Although a late reply, I have developed a similar solution, so it might be interesting to join forces on this one. Have a look at my repo...
