Hi Grinners

One of my students posted to me that her photos are not being presented in order regardless of ticking the correct areas in the Look and Feel section. The link is here: http://glasshouse.smugmug.com/gallery/8017600_9Mr3d/2/521535587_gugin

I went in and had a look, and she is right, any suggestions?

Much thanks ,

Dan

    Hi Dan,

    What order should that gallery be sorted in? By filename or by date taken (or something else)? :)

    Here's our general information on sorting:

    Hi!

    Thanks much for your time here. All the students rename their photos starting with a number. Most use 4 digits. 0024 would be picture 24. In the end each student will have over 1600 pictures. On occasion, even when the proper boxes are ticked in the Look and Feel area of Customize, the pictures are still not coming out in order (this is not happening to all students). I looked, and double checked and they still do not come out right. So, we number them because the shots are taken in order so we can see the progression of the trimming of the hooves. Each student numbers their own work in their gallery. I hope this helps you some. Thanks so much again for your time.

    Hi Dan,

    The 'arrange' function is apparently not working for some users currently. Our engineers are aware of it and we hope to have it fixed soon.

    You are correct in the way you are naming the files. If you want to sort by filename, then a 0021, 0022 format is indeed what you want to use.
