Change event firing without click

I am currently using the isotope plugin to create a function that allows me to place multiple select dropdowns. When the user has selected the dropdowns and when they click submit, it fires the event and rearranges the items.

The problem i am recieving is that the change event is firing and removing everything, but when i click submit, the right results are returned.

Jquery:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

  var $container = $('.finalblock'),
      filters = {},
      selector;

  $container.isotope({
    itemSelector : '.finalchannel',
    layoutMode: 'none'
  });


  $('select').change(function(){
    var $this = $(this);
      $('#mainSubmission').click(function() {
        var group = $this.attr('data-filter-group');
        filters[ group ] = $this.find(':selected').attr('data-filter-value');
        var isoFilters = [];
        for ( var prop in filters ) {
          isoFilters.push( filters[ prop ] )
        }
        var selector = isoFilters.join('');

        $container.isotope({ filter: selector });
        return false;
      });
  });
});

Iv been looking into the bind() function but that doesnt seem to be giving me the right thing (maybe cause i must be doing something wrong.

$('select').bind('initCheckboxes change', function() {
     // do some stuff including ajax work
}).trigger('initCheckboxes');

EDIT: JSFIDDLE: http://jsfiddle.net/Lnzkv3v7/

Just looking at your code, (on the website itself, not the jsfiddle):

The first select element has the id of filters 

<select id="filters" data-filter-group="mainfilter">

but did you know that was stored as a variable in your js?

var $container = $('.finalblock'),
    filters = {},
    selector;

Since most of these elements are being pulled in by Isotope anyways, this could be the issue. The reason why this is a theory is because your second select element doesnt seem to be causing an issue. So change the first select id to something else and see if it works.
