Order of attachments

    I need to change the order of the $fullSize images that are output by the code below. Currently it is showing the oldest image first. I would like the latest (most recently uploaded image) to display first. I have tried adding orderby= & order= to the get_attachments_by_media_tags args but it does nothing.
    Thanks.

    <?php $media_items = get_attachments_by_media_tags('media_tags=home-portfolio'); ?>
    <?php
            if ($media_items) {
            foreach ($media_items as $mymedia) {
            $fullSize = wp_get_attachment_url($mymedia->ID);
            $image_caption = $mymedia->post_excerpt;
            echo '
                <div>
                    <h4>'. $image_caption .'</h4>
                    <img src="'.$fullSize.'" alt="'. $image_caption .'" />
                </div>
            '; }
     }  ?>

    I don’t know the plugin, but you could try to reverse the output from get_attachments_by_media_tags() with array_reverse

    <?php
$media_items = get_attachments_by_media_tags('media_tags=home-portfolio');
$media_items = array_reverse($media_items);
?>

    @surfsup74,

    While you have a solution provided by @keesiemeijer, Allow me to provide a better more flexible solution.

    The Media-Tags function get_attachments_by_media_tags() supports many of the same query arguments as get_posts. So you can pass ‘orderby’ into the function arguments as well as ‘order’.
