Making the gallery respect image order

Hi All.

I was struggling a bit with getting this plugin to display images in my gallery in the custom order that I had configured in my post and not just by “ID ASC”.

I made a change to the file: “image-gallery-reloaded/image-gallery-reloaded.php” (press edit from the plugins page to open up the file editor).

Here’s a step by step guide:

1. Scroll down to the function: “function igr_gallery_shortcode($attr)”
2. Just after you see “$count = 1;”, replace the following code:

————————
if(!empty($ids))
{
$ids = preg_replace( ‘/[^0-9,]+/’, ”, $ids );

$_attachments = get_posts ( array(
‘include’ => $ids,
‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’,
‘post_mime_type’ => ‘image’,
‘orderby’ => $orderby
)
);
$attachments = array();
foreach ( $_attachments as $key => $val )
{
$attachments[$val->ID] = $_attachments[$key];
}

}
————————
with this one:
————————

if(!empty($ids))
{
$ids = preg_replace( ‘/[^0-9,]+/’, ”, $ids );

$ids_array = explode(‘,’, $ids);

$_attachments = array();
foreach ( $ids_array as $get_this_id ) {
$_attachments[] = get_post($get_this_id);
}

$attachments = array();
foreach ( $_attachments as $key => $val )
{
$attachments[$val->ID] = $_attachments[$key];
}

}
————————
Now it should work.

Perhaps this could be invorporated into the next version of the plugin?
(I’ll try to make a branch on github).
