Images sortable but not displayed in correct order

Hi Christian,

I had a look at the source code again and noticed that the images are being ordered by the order you sort them in the back-end. I’m not sure why your images sorting by date. I hope you are using the latest version of the plugin.

Additionally you can pass 2 more parameter to the acf_photo_gallery to sort it by the order you sorted in the back-end. See the code below:
acf_photo_gallery('ACF_FIELD_NAME', $post->ID, 'ASC', 'post__in');

I have the same problem. I found out that the order of the image-I’s is changed in the get_posts ($args) statement in act_photo_gallery.php
Where
$args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘post__in’ => $images, ‘order’ => $order, ‘orderby’ => $orderby );

I also call the function like this:
$images = acf_photo_gallery(‘foto_gallerij’, $post->ID, ‘ASC’, ‘post__in’);
and changed:
function acf_photo_gallery($field = null, $post_id, $order = ‘ASC’, $orderby = ‘post__in’)
echo $field . ‘<br />’;
echo $orderby . ‘<br />’ . $order . ‘<br />’;
$images = get_post_meta($post_id, $field, true); echo $images . ‘<br />’; // 1
return acf_photo_gallery_make_images($images, $field, $post_id, $order, $orderby);
}

The $order & $orderby are passed thru to the last function (…make_images) but are not correctly used by get_posts

Hoping on a solution… regards, Derk-Jan

by the way i don’t understand why function get_posts() can be declared multiple times in my WordPress installation (ACF, Jetpack (not activated), MPC-massive (Addons), WPML)

… by the wayan example, with testcode is on the website https://test.johannaengelina.nl/Winkel/weektocht-zeilen-ijsselmeer-waddenzee/

this is the query:
SELECT DISTINCT wp_posts.*
FROM wp_posts JOIN wp_icl_translations wpml_translations
ON wp_posts.ID = wpml_translations.element_id
AND wpml_translations.element_type = CONCAT(‘post_’, wp_posts.post_type)
WHERE 1=1
AND wp_posts.ID IN (61639,61374,61630,53763,53772,53766,53541,53538,52620,51930,51909,51753,51693,51525,51522,51447,51408,49659,49404,49311,49305,49320,49323,47939,47588,47312,47321,47291,47078,43459,43495,43474,43501,43498,44119,44025,44131,47963,48044,47984,47981,47918,47903,47975)
AND wp_posts.post_type = ‘attachment’
AND ((wp_posts.post_status = ‘inherit’))
AND ( ( ( wpml_translations.language_code = ‘nl’
OR 0 )
AND wp_posts.post_type IN (‘post’,’page’,’attachment’,’product’,’product_variation’,’cookielawinfo’,’templatera’ ) )
OR wp_posts.post_type NOT IN (‘post’,’page’,’attachment’,’product’,’product_variation’,’cookielawinfo’,’templatera’ ) )
ORDER BY wp_posts.post_modified DESC

Looks like the arguments in $args are not passed through by wp_parse_args in wp_includes/post.php

Thanks @djbdijkstra I’ll be making the necessary changes and will push these changes in next release.

Thanks, keep me posted if possible!
