    Our gallery is sorted by “Date created – newest first”.

    However, when we upload new photos to the gallery, they don’t display at the top, they get moved down into the middle.

    If we manually move them to the top, they don’t stay there.

    Help appreciated.

    Hi Steve,

    I tested this locally and it worked as expected. Are you sure you were adding attachments that were not previosuly uploaded, but not included in the gallery?

    Looking at the code it uses a WordPress get_posts call with the arguments:

    orderby : date
    order : DESC

    Hi Brad,

    Our client writes:

    Can they be moved around? I moved some and they stayed at the top but others did not so it appeared to be random and did not stick to the rule of listing in order that they were added.

    Also is there a maximum number of photos that can be loaded?

    Hi Brad,

    We figured out from your advice that is was the order in the media gallery that was determining the order in the Foo Gallery.

    The question remains: is there a maximum number of photos that can be loaded?

    Thanks,
    Steve

    hey Steve,

    We have tested using over a thousand images in a single gallery. If you are using galleries this large, then it is best to use pagination

    Hi Brad,

    How do we add pagination please?

    Thanks,

    For reference, the paging options are at the bottom of the gallery in gallery settings > paging.
