Manual sorting

21 Aug 2015, 01:46

I think the only thing X3 is missing for me to be perfect, is manual sorting of the images within a gallery. Like X2 had. We do have random, desc, and asc, but it would definitely need a manual option.

Sometimes you just don't want an image to display next so a similar one in your portfolio. An manually move it is easier than having to rename the file so it moves in the sorting.

Might be a bit late for Release Candidate but I'm hoping it find it's way to an upcoming update!

Thanks.

Hi Karl,
can you add also the feature to sort the pictures with drag and drop in the panel.

Thanks

Christian

I was hoping this wouldn't get requested, but I was clearly wrong :lol: There are some technical challenges involved, mainly "where" to store the sorting order of the images. However, I think I have an idea how to solve it ... This feature will be available in next major release, February/March.

It's in my todo list for the pending update, but I need to see how feasible the task is, and if it is to be included in the coming update ...

I wish you could also sort folders by date, or manually.. So that latest entries always are on the top

I am currently looking into new sort methods for folders, stay tuned.

Just for reference, there is already sort "Descending" setting for folders, which would sort folders in opposite direction. For example from top to bottom: 4.latest, 3.new, 2.old, 1.oldest.

But it only works by name right? Or is there some way to save the by date method?

Yes, it only works by name. But you have to name your folders with numbers anyway for them to be visible, so why not just add "[number].foldername"? Reversing the order means you can add higher number for latest post, instead of counting backwards.

I am looking into DATE sorting. Ultimately, it would perhaps be good to get rid of the entire "NUMBER.name" system, but that requires that we plan a rigid system on how to sort folders.

yes that would be appreciated.. with 50+ folders its not practical to change the names every time.. although I tried going from 999 and backwards for every new folder I add, but the disadvantage to that is, that you loose your alphabetic order of names in the menu, so its harder to find the folder you are looking for when adding stuff to it.

In next release (2 weeks time), you will be able to sort folders by Date and Custom (manual) sort.
