    The implementation of a Masonry Layout is not easy. There’s an official (OpenSource) code, but there’s a logical thing with the layout, that programmers need to overcome: If one column gets too long because of image proportions, at some point, the column needs to be skipped. Otherwise, you could end up with drastically different lengths. Meow “solves” this by moving the last images to the top, which is exactly, what should NOT be done. The algorithm should prioritise keeping images close, that are close in the order of the gallery. I ended up using manual ordering by columns and will remove the plugin as soon as I find a better one. Or write my own – or wait for CSS to support Masonry.
