How do I keep subcategory pages sorted?

ssklar

All of my gallery names begin with YYMMDD, so by keeping a page full of galleries reverse sorted by filename, I'll always have the newest gallery at the top-right of the page.

I can't seem to get this to stick for my sub-category pages. Example:

http://ssklar.smugmug.com/Baseball/CTVLL-2010

Whenever I add a new gallery to this subcategory, it gets tacked on at the bottom. I have to then go to that page, click the "Sort galleries: arrange" link, , select "quick sort: Title", click "reverse", then click "save changes". I have to do this every time I add a new gallery.

Please someone tell me that there is some secret (or not so secret) knob to be twiddled that will result in this page's galleries staying sorted in, simply, "reverse by gallery title".

Thanks,

Thanks, but those two people's problems are worse then mine ... from what it sounds like, they can't even manually sort the subcategory pages. I can do that. My goal is to "not have to" do that every time I create a new album. I want a button or widget somewhere that says: "Permanently sort this sub-category reverse, by album title." (Heck, I want a button that says do that for all of my sub-category pages.)

I just can't seem to find that button or widget anywhere ... perhaps it doesn't exist? If not, well, that would be a whole lot more useful to me then lots of the other recent feature adds.

I've done a lot of searching on this forum looking for a way to automatically sort galleries within subcategory pages and it seems like there still is not a solution. (IE: Automatically sort by date created, sort by gallery title, etc)

Can anyone verify this? Has this been formally entered as a feature request?

Thanks,

So is there NO solution to this???? I have my sub galleries named 1., 2., etc. and they sort in newest to oldest and I don't see any way to set an order, or hell, even arrange manually would be nice like in the galleries.

If you change your top level categories to be manually arranged, then you can manually arrange your sub-categories.
