Images Are Uploading in Reverse Order??

  • First: the version I am using is actually 3.9.3 but that wasn’t a choice. Second, I am like the most remedial WordPress user there is; I can barely do a post. Well, it’s not quite that bad, but close, so if you reply in order to help me, please pretend you are explaining to a 5 year old…a not very birght 5 year old.

    So all of a sudden, when I select images to insert into a blog post, they are uploading in reverse order. Which is a pain, seeing as I am a wedding photographer & I need the weddings to show in start-to-finish order. I tried renumbering the images (01, 02, etc) but still no luck. Any suggestions? Please?

  • Hi,

    What is the OS that you use? I am on Windows 7 and the order of image upload depends on the way I select images. Let’s say I have images named 01, 02, 03 and 04.

    If I select the first image and press shift and select the last image, the order of file upload is something like this 04, 01, 02, 03. If I manually select 01, 02, 03 and 04, the uploads are in the same order. When I insert them into the post directly after upload, it appears fine as 01, 02, 03 and 04.

    Maybe this is an issue with the way you are selecting and adding images. Could you explain what you are doing?

    HI, I am using Yosemite OS X 10.10.1. I have been selecting the first image (01), pressing the shift key & selecting the last image (79). I will try selecting manually, but it has always worked for me in the past to do it the way I have been. I sure hope I don’t have to select manually, as sometimes I have well over a hundred images to post for weddings!

    Hmm.. You could try a gallery plugin that offers additional features such as image sort. I installed NextGen and it has features to sort images in a gallery by Date/Time, Name etc.

    Since you are uploading a large number of files, NextGen also supports upload via FTP and then directly import the entire folder contents into a gallery. (This could save you quite a bit of time.)

    Well, I guess if it comes down to that I can try, tho my skills at that would probably mean I would do more damage than good. I can’t understand why everything was working fine for about 2 years now suddenly it’s doing this.

    Is there a WordPress tech that can be contacted?
