Hello
I'd like to check my understanding of album ordering. I have a date-based album/directory structure and I think photos are being ordered ok within albums, but albums themselves are not. My use case is that albums are named by year (YYYY) or month (MM) and so a normal sort by filename would work fine. I'm not finding this.
The only other reference I could find in the forums is from 2013 ( https://piwigo.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=145696 ) which seems to describe a similar situation. Is there a way to order my albums in filename/numeric order?
Thanks
Dougie

I think my problem was I was trying to manage this at the Synchronisation level. I want to apply the sort order site-wide and it seems to be possible and straightforward via Albums / Manage / Automatic Sort Order and apply to entire hierarchy.
