Moving an image within a Gallery

Hi @mikejpryor,

I would be happy to help.
You can custom sort the images within a gallery from the “Insert Gallery Window -> Sort or exclude images” and use drag and drop to reorder the images.

Hope this helps ??

Thanks Mihai, yes that is how I have been re-ordering the images. However, because I use the same Gallery on many pages I would prefer to be able to re-order in the Gallery itself rather than in the Inserted Gallery on each page. Thanks for your help

Hi @mikejpryor,

Thanks for asking. There is actually a setting that would help to sort the gallery globally ( it will apply for all the pages where you’ve added that gallery without any sorting setting in “Insert Gallery Window” instance).

For this purpose, please access “Gallery -> Manage Galleries” go to any gallery and choose “Sort Gallery” then use the same drag and drop feature to custom sort the gallery

Hi Mihai, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I don’t have the SORT option, just APPLY and SAVE CHANGES – perhaps Sort is available only in Pro ? Thanks

Hey @mikejpryor!

Hmm, you should see that sort button. You might try purging your site cache, if you have a caching plugin installed, to see if that clears up that dashboard issue of the sort button missing. If not, try deactivating NextGEN Gallery and reactivate. Does that help? As a last resort, navigate to Gallery > Other Options > And run the reset tool. Navigate back to the Manage Galleries and see if that helps… keep me posted on your result. ??

Hi Becky, no change here I’m afraid. The SORT button still doesn’t appear. I haven’t done a RESET because I’m nervous it could ‘destroy’ my site – what I mean is, I don’t want to do lots of restorative maintenance if the reset undoes stuff I have done. Anyway, it’s no great problem, I can easily manipulate the individual in-page galleries. Thanks for your help
