Split Masonry Gallery from normal Masonry sort order

@Guenni007
Not quite. I DO want two seperate masonries.

The “Leistungen” Masonry is a Masonry Gallery,
The “Referenzen” Masonry is a Standard Masonry.

For the “Leistungen” Masonry I want to rearrange them like it’s supposed to via drag and drop.
“Referenzen” should show random entries.

We first had the problem whenever I sort the “Referenzen” by random order, I can forever click the “Load More” Button, it keeps picking 8 random portfolio entries. This creates an infinite loop and duplicate entries. When I sort it by anything else than “random”, the code I posted above works and creates a random sort order with every new user session even though I have f. e. “sort by name” selected in backend.

This however causes the “Leistungen” Masonry to be static and not reorderable. This is my main problem.

We don’t use any custom orderby / masonry filters. This is the only code that works with masonry:

// add category tag to masonry grid
add_filter( 'avf_masonry_loop_prepare', 'avf_masonry_loop_prepare_mod_cat', 10, 2 );
function avf_masonry_loop_prepare_mod_cat( $key, $entries )
{
    $categories = get_the_terms($key['ID'], 'portfolio_entries');
    //var_dump($categories);
    $separator = ' ';
    $output = '
    <div class="masonry-cat">';
        if ( ! empty( $categories ) ) {
            foreach( $categories as $category ) {
                //$output .= '<span alt="' . esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts in %s', 'textdomain' ), $category->name ) ) . '">' . esc_html( $category->name ) . '</span>' . $separator;
                $output .= '<span>' . esc_html( $category->name ) . '</span>' . $separator;
            }
        }
    $output .= '</div>';

    $key['text_before'] .= trim( $output, $separator );

    return $key;
}

//exclude current portfolio entry
add_filter('avia_masonry_entries_query','avia_exclude_current_masonry_item',10, 2);

function avia_exclude_current_masonry_item($query, $params)
{
global $wp_query;
$postid = $wp_query->post->ID;

$query['post__not_in'] = array($postid);

return $query;
}

function avia_year_func( $atts ){
    return date("Y");
}
add_shortcode( 'year', 'avia_year_func' );

I hope this helps. We use the current theme version too.

Sorry for the wall of text and I highly appreciate the time of yours!
