  <p>Custom layout mode <code>masonryColumnShift</code>. Enabled columns of a Masonry layout to be shifted and not affect other columns. After the size of an item element has changed, you can trigger a special <code>columnShiftOfItem</code> method that will push the column down. This layout only works with item elements that have the same width</p>
