With Name selected for sort order, X3 not sorting all images by name alphabetically
Posted: 01 Aug 2023, 06:30
Hello, Karl,
I am having a bugger of a time sorting images in my galleries. First of all, on the Settings tab, I am using Justified layout, and on the Gallery tab I am sorting by Name, ascending. On the Gallery tab, I am sorting my images listing by Name.
I have my images grouped (by way of my filenames), with xxx~0000000000000.jpg always displaying first, followed by xxx~0000000000000~profile.png
always heing the 2nd file displayed in each group, then followed by the actual images.
When I look at my files in Windows File Explorer, they show up in the correct order... for example:
...however, for some reason, X3 is displaying the files in this incorrect order (on both the Gallery page and also on the public site):
For another group, in Windows they show in the correct order:
...however, X3 is displaying the files in this incorrect order (on both the Gallery page and also on the public site)::
I thought that it might be because of the quantity of zeros that I had, but when I increased them to be the same number of characters as the actual filenames, the sort order in X3 was still messed up:
In order for me to come up with a naming convention for the first 2 files in each group, any suggestion as to what I could name the first 2 files so that they always in X3 show up ahead of the remaining images in each group?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
John
