I took a screenshot of one of the galleries with this problem.

The photo names as uploaded are as follows:

110303004.jpg
110303003.jpg
110303002.jpg
110303001.jpg
110227002.jpg

And it didn't.  I'd like all photos taken on March 1 to be first in the listing.  Then I'd like them to be sorted by file name, ascending.  So, March 1 would be picture 1 (taken before picture 2), picture 2 (taken before picture 3), picture 3 (taken before picture 4), picture 4....I think you get the idea.

How they're being presented is all photos taken on March 1, picture 4, picture 3, picture 2, picture 1.

So, when I upload pictures of my husband working on a project, they're showing the finished project first, then going backwards to when he started. 

The code: date_creation DESC, file ASC

Look again at the picture and the time stamp. And the names of the images. "file ASC" is being ignored.

But I found out yesterday if I REupload all of the images using the pLoader and overwrite all the pictures I've posted, they show in the correct order. The problem occurred when I did the batch synch of the metadata after the upgrade.  I did that to get the time stamp on them, now I wish I'd not bothered.  Because I'm going to have to reinput all of the information I have on them.

But I want the newest days to post first. (DESC)

3-21-2011, 3-11-2011, 3-01-2011.

Then the pictures oldest to newest (ASC)

pic 1
pic 2
pic 3

Wouldn't doing it ASC make the oldest days first? 

3-01, 3-11, 3-21

Okay, here's a link to one of the problem categories.

http://www.lisaviolet.net/gallery/index … ategory/15

I took 17 pictures on 2-23. 

The only one that's where it should be in that series of images is the pair of socks on the second page. 

The images I uploaded were numbered as following:

110223001walks.jpg  ---- wheelchair access to the dirt (stupid way government spends money)
110223002walks.jpg
110223003walks.jpg
110223004walks.jpg
110223005walks.jpg

through

110223017walks.jpg ---- socks

They show on my gallery as 110223016walks.jpg, 110223015walks.jpg, 110223014walks.jpg , 110223013walks.jpg up to 110223001walks.jpg , then you see 110223017walks.jpg. 

Pictures 1-16 are in reverse order (DESC), then there's picture 17 (the one with the socks)

I don't understand why they show the way they do and why only one of them is where it belongs.

$conf['order_by'] = ' ORDER BY file ASC, id ASC';
$conf['order_by_inside_category'] = $conf['order_by'];

Pictures go with oldest date first.  I want newest date first.

$conf['order_by'] = ' ORDER BY file DESC, id ASC';
$conf['order_by_inside_category'] = $conf['order_by'];

All pictures are in descending order. 

*sigh*

Funny how I'd rather change code than re-upload the pictures and just redo the captions and descriptions, isn't it?

I've tried both the date_available and date_creation.  It was fine before I did the Photo > Batch Manager > Synchronize metadata.

When I number my images, I do number them using the time they were taken, so they'll be in order.

If you look at the photos in the disneyland category (http://www.lisaviolet.net/gallery/index.php?/category/3), they present perfectly, but each day is a sub-category by itself. It's when there's more than one day's worth of photos in the category that things go wrong.

I just HAD to get that time stamp to show up.  *lol*

Thanks for your help.

I sure do.  I learned that when my upgrade didn't go nicely.
