Did this get answered at all? I’m in a similar situation and would love the instances where my galleries are listed (manage galleries, select box lists, etc) would display the newest ones first.

Thanks!

Yes, I received an answer from the NGG people. If you go into your wordpress folder and go to
/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/ngglegacy/admin/manage-galleries.php

In there, about 5 lines from the top is
if (!empty($_GET[‘order’]) && in_array(strtoupper($_GET[‘order’]), array(‘DESC’, ‘ASC’)))
$order = $_GET[‘order’];
else
$order = apply_filters(‘ngg_manage_galleries_items_order’, ‘ASC’);

On the line $order = apply_filters(‘ngg_manage_galleries_items_order’, ‘ASC’);
I changed ‘ASC’ to ‘DESC’

Now my newest galleries show up first.

Thanks for that. I believe I did that before and it fixes the “Manage Galleries” page but not the select box presented when I insert a gallery into a post.

Also, do you find this change persists through updates to the plugin? I’m pretty sure it was reset after an update when I did this before.

Either way, thanks for the response!

I’d been asking for this over and over again. It’s just mad, poor and time wasting design to arrange EVERYTHING oldest first. The number of clicks necessary to get to the latest gallery (a large one) and add extra images is ridiculous.
And the fix would be so simple, or a choice of how to order. What on earth is the logic behind not implementing it?

There should be a setting under ‘screen options’ to allow it in all circumstances

I wish I were able to write some php to add to functions.php to do this. The author of TablePress supplied me with a function to do it for that plugin and everything now displays newest first. Can’t adapt it though ??

Yea, it’s a confusing decision to say the least. If it helps, I’ve created a new topic to see if we can’t get a solution.

@wpngguser – Thank you.
