Hi

Is there a way to sort the order of uploaded gallery images please?

Thank you in advance

Ian
@ianhaney50,

This is a dirty trick for achieving what you want (if its only about images in a gallery).

Please go to advance settings and change the date/time of the images you uploaded to a sequence of your choice.

For example:
There are 3 images, viz:
1.jpeg : Uploaded on/at - Sep 28 2016 @ 00:00
2.jpeg : Uploaded on/at - Sep 28 2016 @ 00:00
3.jpeg : Uploaded on/at - Sep 28 2016 @ 00:00

and now you want the sequence to be:
3.jpeg
1.jpeg
2.jpeg

so you can make the following changes:
1.jpeg : Uploaded on/at - Sep 28 2016 @ 00:02
2.jpeg : Uploaded on/at - Sep 28 2016 @ 00:01
3.jpeg : Uploaded on/at - Sep 28 2016 @ 00:00

You can use this for lesser number of images as too many images will be cumbersome. The advanced setting can be found at:

Whereas if you want to just change the folder ordering, you can use the weight option in the folders defined dynamically. Remember: Higher the value, lower the folder will appear in list. Can be set to negative.

hope it helps. Please let us know if anything else is required.

Thank you will try that
@ianhaney50, as an alternative to what @genxcoders suggested, you could upgrade to Couch v2.0 that supports setting the display order manually (quite like nested-pages).
ahh ok, have you got the link to upgrade to couchcms and does it affect anything or do I need to change anything or does it update all itself by a online upgrade installer script?
You can download it from our GitHub repository - https://github.com/CouchCMS/CouchCMS
You'll find instructions for up-gradation in there - https://github.com/CouchCMS/CouchCMS/bl ... UPGRADE.md

Documentation for the new features are here - viewtopic.php?f=5&t=10241

Hope it helps.
