A way to read the new sort order

[mvrsn]

Currently, as far as I've been able to figure out, there is no good way to do the above. Another value next to the original-order in isotope-sort-data would be convenient, or even a way to loop through the nodes in order.

After initializing Isotope, you can retrieve the data from its instance using jQuery's data method with the namespace 'isotope'

$('#container').data('isotope')

For your scenario, the property we're looking for is $filteredAtoms

var $sortedItems = $container.data('isotope').$filteredAtoms;

See http://jsfiddle.net/desandro/JcHcc/ for a good example of how I used this.

Wonderful :)
I failed to see this in the documentation, and it never occured to me to see what data was on the container node.

Thanks for the quick help
