Sidebar Widget recent sorting?

Hmmm… new upload today (14 pics), everythings fine, but… it is not sorted by id, resp. the newest pics aren′t on top.

Someone could help?

@pat Satanus – Without knowing the meta details of the images or at least some real examples I am not so certain the NextGEN Widget is not working as expected.

It appears from your description it is showing the correct number of images from the correct galleries based on the settings you are using (although a screen snippet of those settings may also be helpful to see) so it appears things are working correctly.

Perhaps I am not understanding what you are expecting?

Hi Cais.

Thanks for the reply, I try with my not so good English, to describe the problem.

I expect that the widget displays the latest uploaded images and not use the information of the camera as a basis for sorting. For example: Last four images with IDs 1000, 1001, 1002 and 1003 are displayed randomly. But they should be displayed in descending order. So the latest ID at the top.

I hope that was understandable enough (thanks to dict.leo.org).

@pat Satanus – Look at the gallery under Gallery > Manage Galleries … select the gallery you are using. Are the images displaying in the same order they appear in the gallery?

Hi Cais.

In the management and the “normal” gallery everything is fine, sorted descent newest <-> oldest. Only in the widget it doesn′t work.

I tried to take only one gallery in the widget, same prob. I tried to take all, same prob. I don′t understand anything more ??

@pat Satanus – Do you have a default sort order set under Gallery > Other Options > Image Options?

– Cais.

Hi Cais.

It does not matter what setting I use, it has no impact on the widget. If I take for example “sort by date” that appears in the gallery, but in the widget nothing changes.

I know that it worked once, but after the last update (I do not remember exactly which …) does not work anymore.

I’m looking now time for a widget that is compatible with NGG, possibly Nivo or similar.

Thank you for your effort.

So long…

Hmmm… could you tell me, where the code for this sorting is? In which file do I have to search?

@pat Satanus – Are you using a Descending order … that is where the issue is with sorting.

– Cais.

Hi Cais.

Yes, of course I do.

@pat Satanus – Try setting it to Ascending … unfortunately this is the only work-around we have at this time but it should improve the situation.

Thanks!

Hi Cais.

I tried this, too. But no result. In the gallery you will see a change (desc and asc), but not in that widget. I guess, the widget is broken.

@pat Satanus – We will be looking into the NextGEN Widget issues that have been cropping up recently. We do apologize for these inconveniences.

Hi Cais.

Thank you very much. Please contact me, if you got news.

Hi Cais.

WP updated to 4.0, widget still not sorting by ID. Will there be an update, too?

So long…
