Onchange of the dropdown, get selected option and call function according to the value

$(document).on("change", ".sort_by", function() 
{
  	var sortingMethod = $(this).val();
  
  	if(sortingMethod == '1') {
    	sortProductsPriceAscending();
  	} else if (sortingMethod == '2') {
    	sortProductsPriceDescending();
  	}
  	else
  	{
  		$(".isotope-grid").load(location.href+" .isotope-grid>*","");
  	}
});

sortProductsPriceAscending() – this function takes all the .grid-items and calls sort() function.
In sort() takes data-price of .product-card and orts the returned values.
Then its appends to .isotope-grid

function sortProductsPriceAscending() 
{
  	var gridItems = $('.grid-item');
  	gridItems.sort(function(a, b) {
    	return $('.product-card', a).data("price") - $('.product-card', b).data("price");
  	});

  	$(".isotope-grid").append(gridItems);
}

sortProductsPriceDescending() sorts values in descending order

function sortProductsPriceDescending() 
{
  	var gridItems = $('.grid-item');
  	gridItems.sort(function(a, b) {
    	return $('.product-card', b).data("price") - $('.product-card', a).data("price");
  	});

  	$(".isotope-grid").append(gridItems);
}
