Reordering Gallery's Order

How to make gallery order different than alphabetical

I am creating my gallery format for my art site. I understand that images are ordered by their upload order or by the name of the photo such as foo.png, foo1.png, foo2.png, etc.

But gallerys must be different now because I added the gallery and subgalleries in the order I wanted them, expecting that the first added would become the last showing once another gallery was added and so on. but it looks like the order is set by alphabetical order now. I see in the old ocPortal (v. 9.0.18) it was by order added. So what can I do to change this to come out as shown in the Figure 2 below?

This is how Composr 10.0.33 laid out my galleries: This order won't work for me as the galleries should be in cronological order...

Figure 1.

Paintings--\
                 \-- Arcs & Lines Series
                  \-- Commissions
                   \-- Little Panel Project   Human Security Series
                    \-- Human Security Series   In Red Series
                     \-- In Red Series  Little Panel Project
                      \-- Out of Your Mind Series
                       \-- This and That

This is how ocPortal 9.0.18 laid it out and is how I want the gallery order to be again which is in cronological order:

The "Show sub-galleries in name order" config option defaults to On, you'll need to disable it.
I think that'll solve your issue.

All I did was go to Admin Zone>Setup>Configuration>Gallery options and uncheck the name order box… then I went to another windows tab that had the home screen showing and using the menu clicked on Galleries and got a home screen all messed up.  The two photos show before and after. I set the configuration back to show in name order but it did not change the messed up situation of the website.

Looks like the CSS failed to load for some reason. Seems to work now?

No change. It still shows up like the 2nd photo no matter how I refresh it. Even on a different device - same.

I emptied the cache and I got my site back... mostly. I lost my logo, it reverted back to the one Composr made for the first theme. seems manageable again.

Hmm, sorry you had issues there. I can't explain it honestly, and I don't think I'll be able to reproduce it.

I think the original issue is resolved by my suggestion.

If anyone works out a way to reproduce the logo missing after emptying caches please bring it up.
I did do some testing and found a different bug, but I rewrote some code that wasn't so great so maybe I improved things.

As for the CSS not rendering, possibly something to do with system resource use on a hosting account, I'm not sure. Editing the configuration would cause caches to be flushed out. They should then repopulate. I wonder if they didn't because that loads some PHP requests in parallel to do it (all the CSS files after a cache purge will be loaded up via .php scripts), and that could have hit a resource limit, and then the browser cached the failure. Just guessing.
Again if anyone can report a reproducable bug I'll look into it.

Thanks Chris. As far as the Logo, I have a back up.

I have just been flushing whatever element of the cache I think might be affected by my action - although Im sure most times I really don't need to. I am just enjoying using Composr and I haven't thought of any of these things as really bothersome. It's just part of re-acustoming myself to the way things work. Thanks for a really good product.
