# NextGEN Gallery Sorting Problem

 * I am using the Nextgen gallery plugin (2.2.14) and am having a problem with it
   keeping the sorting order. I currently have 1062 images in a gallery that I am
   have personally sorted to show the pictures in a chronological series. The latter
   images, towards the end of the gallery, will not remain where I sort them. The
   earlier ones do not seem to be affected. I recently uploaded an image to this
   gallery and put it at the end. When I ‘saved’ (Update Sort Order), it put the
   image back on the top row. I moved it again, ‘saved’, and got the same result.
   I have cleared the browser cache on the machine I was using, the hosting server’s
   cache, and even tried on a machine I have never used before. My presort is set
   to “Unsorted” with “Ascending” bolded. I believe a read somewhere that this application
   is limited to 1000 images per gallery but could not recall the source to verify.
   I have deactivated/reactivated the plugin. Thank you in advance for any advice!

 * [@chumbleyblog](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chumbleyblog/) – If you are
   looking for an existing display to change you must make the changes in it; or,
   to change an existing display you must re-open the Insert Gallery Window interface
   and make the changes there.
 * If you are making changes elsewhere in the NextGEN Gallery settings and want 
   those applied to existing displays you will need to delete those existing displays
   and re-insert them for those changes to take effect.

 * I have not changed any settings for the past 1000 images I have manually sorted.
   It seems after I hit the 1000 mark it will no longer accept the order I place
   new images in. After I save (“update sort order”) the new images go back to where
   they were. The old images are not effected. I am only working within one gallery.
   I am at a stand still since I have another 1000 images needing to be added to
   this gallery and also sorted chronologically. I have flushed the cache on all
   sides.
