Sort images not working?

05 Sep 2017, 15:59

Servus mjau-mjau,

in the meanwhile i did already upload a lot of pics. Now i tried to sort them in a different order (by date, name, cusom).
Within the panel the sort order did Change, after selecting a different sort order type. But it does not have any impact on the live homepage.

Here i always have the same sort order. Is there any dirty trick i need to know?  :wink:

Cheers
Nico

You will need to custom sort the images AND select "custom" under sorting options in the page gallery settings. If you have already done this and it still doesn't work, I will require link to the page in mention and perhaps panel login.

Hi mjau-mjau,
this was the missing action. Now it's working. It's a little bit confusing if you can custom sort the images, but addtionally you have to modify the view settings in the Gallery options.

Anyway, it's fixed now.  :thumbsup:

I agree it's confusing, but if we automatically sort by custom, how would a user change sort order back to "sort by name"? We could perhaps add a dialog that appears after custom sort, asking if the user wants to change to sort method to custom. Will think about it ...

Yeah, a short notification could be helpful here.  :clap:

Since release X3.24.0, if you drag images into custom order, the page's "sort by" setting will automatically change to "custom".
