I have figure it out!
In the general settings is an option to set the sort order. Apparently it needs to be set to custom in order for the sort option to appear. Hope that helps.

I have the exact same problem. On one domain it works just fine, and on the other it does not. No sort button in the manage gallery options and individually on a post while I can change the sort order in the pop up it doesn’t actually change it.

Thanks for speedy reply Brandon. Will give this a shot in the next few days.

Yes I won’t just yet. Still trying to think this through.

It also seems, by reading through various posts here, that you absolutely can’t use an image that already exists via choosing it in the media uploader. Instead you have to upload it as you create the slide.
That’s what I did, I uploaded them all at once, changed them all at once (alt, tag and stuff) and then choose them from the media library when creating a slide.
It must be this because If I remember correctly I did change the size before I uploaded, might be wrong though.

But what if I use that one slideshow now and then later I decide to use a different size one (as I might just do), then change the settings, and then have to go back to change each slide in each slideshow again, that’s just plain not on. ??
I’m planning of having 10-20 slides per slideshow. I must be able to choose them from the media library instead of having to load them again and again. Never mind not having to go back to redo existing slideshows.

Then I delete that plugin right away. What a pain. I have too many pictures and if I have to re-upload them every time I change the settings despite them begin the right size then something is very wrong with the plugin. I don’t have the time for that.
Doesn’t even make sense.

anyway, thanks for trying, but this is not useful for me at all.

Thanks, but the pictures are the right size.

If the folders permissions don’t allow upload then they wouldn’t across the board would they? I can upload to the folder alright and then manually link it into the post but that’s obviously cumbersome.
But the only way I get to have pictures inside my posts at the moment.
It’s the WP functionality itself that doesn’t look correct. I don’t even get to accessing any folder from within WP.
Wish I could find a solution ??

Your issue is different to mine. I suggest to open another thread.
