    When I go to import a directory, the screen sort of haphazardly lists all the files in that folder, seemingly in no order at all. Is there a way to list the files alphabetically by filename on this screen? Thanks!

    Anyone? It truly is a lot of work to import 100+ pictures at a time and have it all in random order so you can't add a caption to each of them easily in chronological order (which is the same as SORT BY FILENAME for me...I just don't know where to add it)

    Never mind, problem solved. Found this old thread:
    http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=498

    Change plog-manage.php:

    line 504

    else if ($level == "pictures"){
    $cond = "WHERE `parent_album` = '$_REQUEST[id]' ORDER BY `path`";
    }

    Or not. That sorts it under the Manage screen. I'm looking to sort in the Import screen.

    Problem Solved. Added
    sort($tmp);
    after line 83 so it looks like:

    // Finish off the function
    closedir($dir);
    sort($tmp);
    return $tmp;

    under function get_files($directory) {

    You can close this thread off. Sorry for the monologue

    Is there any way to do this in the new version of Plogger??

    You can do this in the new version of Plogger by adding the following "sort($files);" (without the quotations) after line 239, so it looks like:

    $albums = get_albums();
    $queue_func = "";
    $keys = array();
    sort($files);
    for($i=0; $i<count($files); $i++) {
    $file_key = md5($files[$i]);
