# Numeric Gallery Sort?

 * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/numeric-gallery-sort/)
 * I’m working on migrating a site that was using a very old legacy version of NextGEN(
   nextcellent-gallery-nextgen-legacy) into the newest version of NextGEN in order
   to keep it up to date.
 * I’ve been able to migrate it over with little to no problems, however I’ve now
   come across a major issue for this client. With the default sorting method selected
   to ‘Alt/Title Text’ it appears to be using alphabetical sorting, whereas previously
   it appeared to use numeric sorting. Is there any way to adjust the plugin to 
   use numeric sorting?
 * (This is an issue as the client used numbers in the Alt/Title Text field to sort
   images in a specific order, for which they have 1000s of)
 * So for example previously they would display in the order of 10 11 12 etc..
    
   and now are displaying 10 100 1000 etc..
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fnumeric-gallery-sort%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@mtresch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mtresch/),
 * Good question. I am afraid we don’t currently have such a workaround unless custom
   sorting the images the way you’d like but we have it as a feature request under
   our radar to look into improving the sort order when the images’ titles are combos
   of string+numeric format. As of now, these titles are being compared as text/
   string only.
 * We’ll probably come with a solution for this one at a future point.
