c# - Client side alphabetic multi-column (lists) sorting and filtering -


i have index of "services" quite large, , trying make user friendly.

the current display 4 columns (four unordered lists, @ moment) displays alphabetically top bottom, left right so:

ab           co      en ac      ce      de      fa af      ci      ef      gu 

these lists built in c# code behind, bulletedlist controls attached containing panel control on page load.

the number of items has become large enough want make use of filtering giving list across top # b c d... etc, , when click on it, filter results. want accomplish using javascript, , avoiding post backs.

my initial thought have javascript (jquery) .show() , .hide() ones necessary, current unordered list arrangement, struggling how accomplish , maintain alphabetic layout.

for example, using 4 unordered lists example above, filtering result in this:

ab ac af 

instead of spanning across columns.

taking thought further, considered using single unordered list , having list items float left span across screen , down -- issue run sorting alphabetically down first , across, because sorts across first , down.

additionally, using float left method causes link spans 2 lines cause line break links across row, resulting in odd gaps.

i realize long winded , specific question, assistance on how accomplish code, html/css formatting, or suggestions better way of doing appreciated! taking time read question.

it sounds might want use 1 of jquery portfolio plugins.

here's 1 example: http://webdesigntunes.com/coding/jquery-filterable-portfolio/

you create html tagged classes matching want sort on

<nav class="primary clearfix">     <ul>         <li><a href="#" class="selected" data-filter="*">all</a></li>         <li><a href="#" data-filter=".web">web design</a></li>         <li><a href="#" data-filter=".ill">ilustration</a></li>         <li><a href="#" data-filter=".logo">logo</a></li>         <li><a href="#" data-filter=".video">video</a></li>         <li><a href="#" data-filter=".print">print design</a></li>     </ul> </nav>  <section class="main">              <div class="portfolio">                  <article class="entry video">                     <a data-rel="prettyphoto" href="http://vimeo.com/34266952">                     <img src="images/portfolio/work1.jpg" alt="">                     <span class="video-hover"></span>                     </a>                 </article>                  <article class="entry web">                     <a data-rel="prettyphoto" href="images/portfolio/work2.jpg">                     <img src="images/portfolio/work2.jpg" alt="">                     <span class="magnifier"></span>                     </a>                 </article> </section> 

apply .css ect.

then use isotope sorting

 var $container = $('.portfolio');     $container.isotope({         filter: '*',         animationoptions: {             duration: 750,             easing: 'linear',             queue: false,         }     });      $('nav.primary ul a').click(function(){         var selector = $(this).attr('data-filter');         $container.isotope({             filter: selector,             animationoptions: {                 duration: 750,                 easing: 'linear',                 queue: false,             }         });       return false;     });      var $optionsets = $('nav.primary ul'),            $optionlinks = $optionsets.find('a');             $optionlinks.click(function(){               var $this = $(this);           // don't proceed if selected           if ( $this.hasclass('selected') ) {               return false;           }        var $optionset = $this.parents('nav.primary ul');        $optionset.find('.selected').removeclass('selected');        $this.addclass('selected');     });
