For some reason, I thought it was going to be complicated, but it couldn’t be simpler. This one plugin does well what so many other plugins almost do. It also doesn’t have a lot of crappy styling that you just have to override; it’s quite nice by default and minimal enough that customizing it with a little CSS should be a breeze.
The only question I have is: can I change the URL where it says “aw-simple-sorter” to something like “portfolio” or “work”?

After days of searching the web for an Quicksand sort alternative for Wordpress I found this simple but perfect and easy to include plugin.
Also the support from the Plugin Author was perfect and fast.
