Also, if it helps anybody, it seems to me that the image order is tied to a particular post ID. My thinking is that since we are trying to order the images inside of the media library, there is no post to tie the order to. Mchoudoir may be correct in that its somehow tied to the nonce and not the postID. I’m not sure. I found my workaround and gave up. If it gets fixed and starts working properly, I’ll start using it but right now, I’m just using the workaround.

mchoudoir,

I was able to find a work around (sort of). In my case, I only needed to display the gallery on one page per category. Instead of ordering the images in the media gallery section, if you edit the page that they are being displayed on and open an image picker (click add image in the featured image field) then filter by category, it will let you order the images there and the order sticks. Its ghetto but this particular client of mine is savvy enough that she understood.

Nadia,

I just updated to 2.1.4 and I now see a new section for filters. I switched the “order menu items by” field to custom order but it still isn’t working. I noticed a setting under the edit screen for my category where I could enable “Remember Terms Order (sort)”. This didn’t fix the problem either. I also disabled all plugins and the problem persisted. save-attachment-order also still returns false when EML isn’t active.
