Sort of galleries IN an Album

    Hello,

    i have a problem with the nextgen gallery .
    It’s about the album view. In the backend I can assing the galleries of an album and bring them by drag & drop in the order in which they are needed for me. Everything works great, but in the front end the galleries are then shown in an entirely different order, which makes absolutely no sense in relation to the “gid” or another field of the database-table. So neither “gid” descending, or ascending “gid”, nor otherwise ordered by a recognizable criterion. Simply wildly. Since the chronology is very important in my galleries that is so not usable for me. Of course, I also have googled and found the following solution, which unfortunately does not do anything for me:

    “In the ngg-db.php file , the following line needs to change accordingly:

    $album->sortorder = serialize ( $wpdb->get_col (“SELECT gid FROM $wpdb->nggallery ORDER BY fotodatum DESC”));”

    I tried now for hours around, but can not find a solution.
    Who can help me?

    Greetings

    Mhm, I really don’t understand how a great plugin like nextgen-gallery again und again can fail in the easiest issues? And the issue with the not sortable galleries in Albums is known since years. I would have bought the Pro Version already, but therefor the plugin is really to unreliable. And no one answers my question. What a pity, really.

    @ikarus2013 – We made some improvements to sorting in our most recent beta, would you mind giving this beta a try and letting us know if it works any better for you? See: https://www.nextgen-gallery.com/nextgen-gallery-latest-beta

    Hope that helps! (Becky)

    Thanks for your answer Becky, but I solved the problem by adding this code in … wp-content\plugins\nextgen-gallery\products\photocrati_nextgen\modules\ngglegacy\view\album-extend.php :

    function cmp($a, $b)
    {
    return (strcmp($a->fotodatum, $b->fotodatum))*-1;
    }
    usort($galleries, “cmp”);

    “fotodatum” is a field in the table of the database which I added, to bring the galleries in the order in which I need them.

    Greetings
