Upload order from drag and drop ?

Hi,
I use exclusively the browser drag and drop browser and it works well ! :)

One thing I don't understand about it is the order in which the photos get uploaded ... can someone detail how it works ?

The photos do not appear sorted by size, or file name or date ... so is it just random ?

If it is random, could a sort option be done prior to the start of the upload batch ...

The reason I'm asking is that when things fail, it's a pain to figure out which photo was already uploaded or not.

Thanks,

McGil

    The Simple Uploader actually uploads a few photos at a time to help speed things up. But, if one file is smaller than another, it may finish faster and that can cause them to get out of order.

    The best solution is in your gallery settings page. Look for the Auto Sort option. Set that to something like Date Taken or by Filename. Those seem to help most users.
