    OK previously to beta 3 I could go into the plog-import.php and change the order it would show when I used the import feature but in beta 3 it is gone.

    My problem is that I like to upload my photos via ftp to my server into the directories I like and then use the import so I can mass edit all my comments for each photo and then import all at once. This makes it fast when uploading 40 photos at once!

    So does anyone know how to do this in Beta 3?

    I love using the date created feature as I am finding the date taken feature to not be so reliable (even more so when your taking from different cameras where you might have the camera's time off by 10-30 minutes) so that isn't due to ploggers way of it, just that it is hard to sync when you use multiple cameras!

    I don't remember that ever being a feature... are you sure? I don't think I would've removed that, it sounds pretty useful.

    someone posted in the forum how to sort it by modifying the import php file

    see thread

    http://plogger.org/forum/discussion/1149/sorting-by-filename-when-importing/#Item_0

    I can't find the words sort or order in the new import php file.

    Thanks,

    oh good it's not just me, I think I'm going to have to search for other software since nobody seems to know the answer and I can't deal with this sort order and I can't go back to version 2 because it kept getting hacked into!

    still no response, come on, I really like this software, I just want to be able to do what i could in version 3 - change my import sort order

    I'd think this wasn't much to ask, the way the code is now it is all hidden and I can't figure out how to change it in the import php file anymore.

    What are you trying to sort by? The only information we have about your files at this point is the filename and the created date...

    I want to be able to sort by the following:

    import screen by filename
    Default sort order by Date Submitted
    Albumd and Collection sort by date created

    You can sort the import screen by filename by adding the following "sort($files);" (without the quotations) after line 239 in the plog-import.php file, 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]);
