Great Challenge!
New Version:
Here is a much better version as it makes the blocks stay in their rows. I added a css function so that your nth-child styles could be applied even in the rows. Even maintains same HTML Structure.

The jQuery for this new revision looks like:
$('.block').on('click', function() {
var block = $(this);
// Keep the blocks in line
makeRows($('body'));
$('.block').not(this).each(function() {
// If sibling on the same level, horizontal toggle
// We also want ignore the toggleMethod if it is shown because we might need to reassign
if (($(this).position().top == block.position().top && (($(this).data('toggle') == -1) || $(this).data('toggle') == null)) || ($(this).data('toggle') != -1 && $(this).data('toggleMethod') == 'side'))
{
$(this).data('toggleMethod', 'side');
// Hide block
if ($(this).data('toggle') == -1 || $(this).data('toggle') == null)
{
// Set properties for later use in show block
$(this).data('overflowBefore', $(this).css('overflow'));
$(this).css('overflow', 'hidden');
$(this).data('marginBefore', $(this).css('margin'));
var width = $(this).width();
$(this).animate({
width: 0,
margin: 0
}, function() {
$(this).data('toggle', width);
});
}
// Show block
else
{
$(this).css('overflow', $(this).data('overflowBefore'));
$(this).animate({
width: $(this).data('toggle'),
margin: $(this).data('ma
