It looks like that works! I’m using a block editor so I just create my WP Gallery, order the images how I want and then convert that gallery to a Photonic Gallery. Thanks again!

Thanks so much for this information. I will try it this way. I really appreciate your help with this issue.

Any update? I’ve tried naming my images YYYY-MM-Image.jpg and sorting by name, but for some reason that doesn’t work for all images.

I’m working locally now since I ran into the dreaded white screen, but plan on getting the current version installed online this weekend.

That’s fine. I’m not in a hurry, and frankly, I’ve not found another gallery/lightbox plugin that I like better.

Looks like the most straightforward way to arrange things the way I want will be to rename all my photos to start with a date. Assigning them to a post with an altered date did not work, but I’m not sure why.

Still working on this. I have attached my images in my media library to different pages that I have modified the dates for, changing the year to 2007, 2008, 2009, etc. Unfortunately this doesn’t seem to have solved the sort by creation date issue.

I have set up a test page with 1 image from each year to try different settings on.

do you have any other suggestions? I suppose I could change image names or titles, but that seems like a workaround rather than a fix.

Thank you. I figured these were values that Photonic pulled from WP or the photo metadata somehow. I’ll look into that Stackoverflow article.

Thank you for your quick response. The css works perfectly.
