And in addition, when viewing the whole gallery, using the option to sort by filename says it has worked but it hasn’t. Likewise using the option to sort by alt text doesn’t work either.
Wen I have a long gallery I pre-arrange that the filenames are ascending and alt text matches the filenames. So, not happy about this.
Update:
The admin ‘hack’ reinstates ‘Nextgen’ as an option in the dashboard under ‘Imagely’. If galleries are managed via ‘Nextgen’, then sorting works OK, but sorting a gallery via ‘Imagely’ does not. That’s a bit sad and hopefully the ‘Nextgen’ option isn’t removed at least before ‘Imagely’ has been made to work properly.
Managing under ‘Nextgen’ also restores list view in galleries as has been requested by several others.

Hi @mbsharp ,
Thank you for reaching out and for your detailed fedback.
The change to pagination was intended to enhance performance and resolve timeout issues when loading large galleries as that was previously causing issues with the galleries completely failing to load within the new UI.
Although there isn’t a current built-in feature to adjust the number of images per page in the new gallery management UI, it’s certainly a potential feature for future development.
If you’re open to a custom solution, you can use the following PHP code to set a larger number of displayed images:
$options = get_option('ngg_options');
$options['item_details_per_page'] = 100;
update_option('ngg_options', $options);
You can replace 100 with any number you prefer. Please note that setting a very high number might impact performance.
To add this code safely, I recommend using the WPCode plugin, which helps maintain security and manageability.
Please feel free to give it a try and let me know if that’ll allow you sort the gallery images within the new UI with the current Imagely Gallery version.
Thanks again for your feedback.
Please feel free to share any other thoughts or suggestions you might have.
Best regards,
Hi @mbsharp,
For galleries with more than 50 images, you can now drag and drop an image to a different page while editing a gallery. Please update your plugin to the latest version for the new feature to apply.
If you had previously used a custom code snippet to display more images per page as a workaround, we recommend running the snippet once more to change the item_details_per_page option back to the default number of 50 for optimal performance.
If you’re still experiencing issues after updating, please reach out to us at https://www.imagely.com/contact/ and we’ll be happy to take a closer look at your setup directly.
Thank you!
