Alternative to Gridster?

I have used the Gridster library for a project that uses a drag-and-drop multi-column grid. Sadly, Gridster only supports Internet Explorer 9+. I need to find a similar simple-to-use library which lets me do the same using IE8, and if it possible also compatible with IE7, and IE6 too.

So, is there any Gridster-like library out there for the old-IE's? I'm using jquery in this project, so a jquery-based library could be also great.

P.S. I've found one called AnimaDrag, but it's not as good as Gridster, and it's kind of bad.

There are also Shapeshift : https://github.com/McPants/jquery.shapeshift

and Gridly : http://ksylvest.github.io/jquery-gridly/

which are good alternatives to Gridster. (yet note that Gridly is for squared tiles only)

Edit : Packery is also very interesting : http://packery.metafizzy.co/ . However it requires a commercial licence for commercial project otherwise :

For non-commercial, personal, or open source projects and applications, you may use Packery under the terms of the GPL v3 License.
