Problem with Image ID – sorting method

    Dear friends,

    We have a problem with the Image ID sorting method. I will try to describe it, but I also have a video for the problem and it was posted on YouTube.

    We had a very old version of the plugin, but we updated it today. We have 900+ galleries, and they are all sorted using the ID image – ASC sorting method.

    When we try to create a new gallery, we add an image – Image 1, Image 2… Sorting on the Add Galleries screen is good, but when we manage that gallery, the ID and file name are not appropriate. My example: ID-40106 has image 1, ID 40107 has image 4 … I think smaller ID get images that uploaded faster.

    We tested this without cache plugin, we cleared image cache in plugin. We canot change sorting order now, because all 900+ galeries go crazy. Can you please tell us how to resolve this problem?

    Here is the video for problem – https://youtu.be/RT_EOoKCqtA

    Thanks a lot.

    Hi @dreamtours,

    I’m afraid this is the case and there’s not much that can be done aside of manually re-ordering the images from Manage Galleries or from the Insert Gallery Window the way you wanted it it display.

    Back in November 2020 we had to replace plupload.js with uppy.js because of plupload getting deprecated and not receiving any other updates from the its author.

    That’s a specific of uppy.js script that we use for importing images and that’s doing its thing with optimizing the uploading by parallelly uploading the images and uploading them based on their size ( smaller first ). So theoretically, if the size of the images that you will upload will be mostly similar – it may upload the images in the sequence you’ll add them to the uploader’s area. Also, there’s a constant that can be added towp_config.php to disable the parallel uploads but I’m not quite sure that it would change anything regarding the sequence though:

    define('NGG_UPLOAD_LIMIT', 1);

    Thank you @imagely, its working now. We put your define in wp_config.php, and now it is as it should be.

    Thank you very much for great support.
