Default gallery not keeping drag and drop order

    Im using wordpress 3.6 and just built a portfolio website for someone.
    It includes a gallery of 4 columns with thumbnails. They require a specific order te be displayed. I do this with the drag and drop functionality of wordpress’s default gallery. The gallery is placed in the text area of a page.
    When I have ordered all images and saved the gallery everything works as you would expect except if I open the gallery again at the admin side the order is all reset again. It seems to reset to the order it was uploaded in instead of keeping my own custom order.

    the website is: https://persoon.raoulwittenberns.com/?page_id=954

    Here is a screenshot of the order on the site and the order at the admin side: https://persoon.raoulwittenberns.com/galleryorder.jpg

    Thanks for the help,
    Raoul

  • It might be a plugin or theme that’s causing the issue.
    You could also try to set the order “manualy”.
    When in post edit, switch to Text tab and you will see the code for your gallery. It looks something like this:
    [gallery ids="1642,1673,1635,1600,1596"]
    Re-arrange the photos (the respective numbers) and save the post.

    Broken for me too – I’m using a lightly modified 2012 theme. It might be a plugin, but I’m suspicious that it isn’t. If you edit a gallery, drag drop the order, hit update, then immediately edit the gallery again the order returns to what it had initially again. These isn’t any theme involved in that bit, nor any plugins? I’d say it was a core issue with 3.6 update?

    Can you replicate the problem with the default 2013 theme and with all plugins disabled?

    Sorry – should have gone through that standard checking procedure; and I meant 2012 theme, sorry again (don’t know what year I’m in)

    Deactivate all plugins – now OK.

    Reactivating one by one by one…
    and the culprit is…
    Post Types Order
    A plugin for allowing you to reorder posts or custom post types by drag/dropping.

    There is a setting in their settings that says
    Admin Sort To affect the admin interface, to see the post types per your new sort, this need to be checked.
    Which is ticked by default. This KILLS the ordering of images in a page, because by turning it off everything works OK. I shall report this to the plugin developer…

    Thanks

    Hey thanks for that, I’ve been using that plugin for ages and never caused me any troubles before. I’ve unchecked that option and everything seems to work properly. I’ll make sure to file my report te the developer aswell.

    Cheers!
