Hi,
I need to have a chronological viewing of the picture I load in the folder.
I have tried in different way but they did not work.

if I name the picture: from image(1).jpg to image(999).jpg
the first image I will see is the image(999).jpg and the other picture they aren't in other,because I will see first al the picture wich is first is 9, like 999,998,997... and 99,98,97...9... and after all the picture with number 8 like 899,898,897...and 89,88,87...8...until the number 1...

if I name the picture like image001.jpg and image199.jpg
I will see first the picture image099, image098 until image001 and after image199 until image100.

I need and I want to see the picture from the number 1 to the number xxxx and not the inverse.
wath I have to do? wich configuration I have to change?How I have to call my images?
thanks

I'm not sure to understand ; are you talking of chronological or alphabetical order??
If you want pictures shown in alphabetical order , for instance from img001 to img999, then
Code
imagesorting = na
in your config.ini file should work.

If you want to sort them in the chronological order, taking into account the filesystem date of the image file, then you must know that imagevuex doesn't handle this very properly. Try
Code
imagesorting = da
but you'll see, the result may look like a mess.

I have patched dir.php to solve this issue, and take into account the last modified date of files, instead of what it actually does (kind of random result).
Contact me if interested.

azdine thank you...
now I saw the images in the good way....
I have set imagesorting = na

I want just tell that is really important call the images 01, 02, 03 if you have less than 99 images, and 001, 002, 003 if you have less than 999 images or 0001, 0002, 0003 if you have more than 1000 images in each imagefolder.

because if the images will be call like image 1, 2, 3, 10,11,12, 80, 100,101,102,
you will see the image in this order:1,10,100,101,102,11,12,2,3,80
bye bye and thank again.

Why not name them like 00001 00002 00003 00004 etc? There are many file renaming utilities which you just run on given folder and all set.
