flickr collection not displaying in the right order

    I use Photonic to display Flickr collections and albums in our webpage. After the last update I noticed, that the pages, that display the albums inside a specific flickr collection does not work the same as before. Before: the albums in the collection displayed in the order, that I put them in the collection (so I could manage the order of the albums by putting them in the desired order on the flickr’s organize page).

    Nothing has changed (I did not change anything in my shortcodes), but after the last update the albums display in – what seems to be – a random order, so random, that it changes every time I refresh the page. Is this a bug, or a change, that I wan unaware of? How can I get the old functionality back (so that my shortcode displays the albums of the collection in the order, that I arranged them on the Flickr site?

    My shortcode that was working previously:
    [photonicgallery type=”flickr” user_id=’……………’ view=’galleries’ collection_id=’…………….’ tag_mode=’any’ layout=’random’ sort=’date-posted-asc’ caption=’none’ thumb_size=’q’ main_size=’z’]

    During the investigation of this problem, I put together a new shortcode for the same purpose, but with the new wizard, but unfortunalety the result is the same, the order is still random, and changes every time I refresh the page:
    [gallery type='flickr' view='collections' collection_id='...............' headers='' user_id='.............' collections_display='lazy' photo_more=' ' title_position='none' main_size='b' popup='show' layout='random']

    Thanks for the help!

    One of the changes in the 2.10 release was to make the collections get fetched in parallel. It looks like WordPress does not return results from a parallel fetch in the same order that the requests were in, i.e. there doesn’t seem to be a one-to-one correspondence between the request and the response.

    I have patched it for the next version – the code is a bit too involved for me to explain here.

    Based on your newer thread I guess you are moving away from Flickr. But, just in case, the sorting issue has been fixed in 2.11.

    Yes, although I am slowly moving away from Flickr, but the majority of galleries are still using Flickr (until I can move all my albums to their new location), so thanks for the fix. ??
