    Hi there,

    i was just wondering, i have uploaded multiple pictures of a job, and i would prefer it be from beginning to end.

    However, due to the time and date i've uploaded them or whatever, the order is all whack - the end of teh job is in the beginning, the beginning in the middle...etc.

    where can i go to manually adjust the order in which they appear?

    is there a way i can do this? if so, please explain to me how :)

    cheers

    Hi schinigamii -

    Log into your gallery admin and go to the Options page. There are 3 sets of dropdown menus that control sort order - the first one is Image Sort Order.

    If your images still have the exif data in them, then choose "Date Taken" and "Ascending" to have them show from beginning to end.

    If your images don't have the exif data in them but use the filename from the camera, then choose "Filename" and "Ascending".

    Let me know if this takes care of it for you.

    Hello kimparsell,

    thanks for your answer. i've tried the options that plogger provides, but they aren't working/ doing what i need them to.

    I tried renaming all my files like 001,002,003 etc, but for some reason plogger still gets confused For example, it'll go 008,009,019,010, ...etc

    So unfortunately while it has helped to a degree, i still have the problem.

    I have found though, that putting up pictures one at a time, then using the 'date submitted' works to my liking, but the drawback with that is i have to upload each and every picture 1 by 1, making the mass uploading unsusable >_<

    You could try renaming your files first as file001.jpg, files002.jpg, then importing them in Plogger, and than sort by filename, that should work...



    I've done it in a slightly different way. I wrote myself a script that would add EXIF data to the jpg's according to their filename.

    I'd do: "php myscript.php '2004-01-22 12:00:00' some_dir"

    Than all the files in some_dir would get tagged with the specified date in ascending filenames, e.g.:
    image01.jpg = 12:00
    image02.jpg = 12:01
    image03.jpg = 12:02
    etc

    Now you can sort by DateTaken as well.

    If anybody is interested I could share the (linux) script.
