Order of Galleries on Gallery list
Using Jamroom
Hi Lorna - Sorry for the delay on this.
Have checked your link. The problem here is that with the 'Allow Image Ordering' set, the gallery module is hard coded to order images by 'gallery_order' and not 'newest first'. As I said above, by default, when creating an image, 'gallery_order' gets set to zero, so newly uploaded images show first, ready to be manually ordered.
In order to make your existing galleries show in a 'newest first' order after turning on this option, I ran a query on your gallery datastore to set each 'gallery_order' = 200000 - 'gallery item_id'. This worked at the time of change over, but as you now see, new gallery images get their order value set to zero, hence they show first.
I cannot think of a solution to this as its the way the Gallery module is designed to work with this user option. Could maybe do something with a custom module, but first decide how critical this is to your users before we go down that road.
Thanks - Paul
