Changing sort order of galleries

Hi,

Please go to Pages/Post and open shortcode settings. Try to select Date option for Order by and Descending for Order direction . See the following screenshot.

Thank you! Have a nice day!

So I tried that before and it didn’t change the order.
I tested with both Ascending and Descending to see even it would switch but the same display showed.

When creating an individual Gallery I’m not seeing a date option i.e. I can’t enter a date in the past for the photo gallery. That would be great since I’m rebuilding an old site with events that took place in the past. Maybe this is the reason why the date ordering isn’t working?

Or does it order by date published regardless?

In any event, the default view should be most recent first and not the other way around as it is now.

Any other recommendations?

Hi,

Please note that the Order by option orders the images by Date modified. See the following image.

Thank you! Have a nice day!

Hi and I think that’s just the issue.

I’m not interested with sorting the images within the galleries BUT instead want to sort the actual Galleries instead.

I want to have the Galleries sorted by most recent first.

I’m not concerned with how the images within the galleries are sorted.

Therefore, is it possible to change the default sort for the Galleries / Albums?

Hi,

Unfortunately, the product does not have the mentioned functionality yet. However, the feature you wish to have would be a great addition. So could you please add your suggestion to our Submit Your Idea page?

Our development team will consider working on this for further updates.

Thanks in advance! Have a wonderful day!
