## What it is
A jQuery plugin that arranges elements into a dynamic, responsive column grid similar to Pinterest, with drag-and-drop reordering across containers. It maintains logical index positions so grids render consistently across reloads.

## Use cases
- build a pinterest-style masonry grid with jquery
- drag and drop cards between multiple grid containers
- create a responsive grid that rearranges on window resize
- support multi-width tiles in a column grid
- make a draggable dashboard widget layout
- enable touch drag and drop for grid items

## When to choose
- you are already using jQuery and jQuery UI Draggable/Droppable
- you need drag-and-drop reordering in a masonry-style column grid
- you want consistent grid rendering based on element order

## When to avoid
- starting a new modern project without jQuery (use CSS Grid, Muuri, or SortableJS instead)
- you need virtualized or very large lists
- you need actively maintained software with recent fixes

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: jquery-plugin, drag-and-drop, grid-layout, masonry, pinterest-style, responsive-grid, coffeescript
