    Hello,

    First of all congratulation for this new release of the most useful WordPress plugin!

    I would like to propose two small adition that will help the live of heavy users:
    Will it be possible to add in the configuration the possibility to sort galleries by alphabetical order (for instance in the form when uploading pictures)? I have to manage a lot of picture (4000) and galleries (350) and it is just impossible to locate the right gallery with the current mode when I want to upload a image in a specific gallery.

    I currently have to change the code to enable this sorting at every upgrade but I can see that everything is here to make it an option 🙂

    It will be also great to be able to modify the number of gallery per page (in the manage gallery page) and to be able to search for a specific gallery (and not only image). Finding the right gallery when you have 300 galleries is just impossible in the current mode.

    One more thing, I think that a link to all the TAG that can be use in article to integrate Nextgen-Gallery is needed (or even just a link to the documentation from the plugin administration interface). I think that this is a must have for beginner.

    Regards,

    am I this only one that is in need of such request?

    (I know that the search gallery can be solved by installing another plugin, but this should be included in the main version)

    I agree with you as well – I also have a lot of galleries and being able to sort them would be extremely useful. Good idea!

    finde manage-galleries.php in /plugins/nextgen-gallery/admin and change
    $gallerylist = $nggdb->find_all_galleries('gid', 'asc', TRUE, 25, $start, false);
    to
    $gallerylist = $nggdb->find_all_galleries('title', 'asc', TRUE, 25, $start, false);

    When working with large numbers of galleries, you might also want to increase the “25” to a higher number. This will increase the number of rows in your gallery overview page and creates more convenient handling.
    Only then you will have to adjust another line that sits right above that from
    $start = ( $_GET['paged'] - 1 ) * 25;
    to
    $start = ( $_GET['paged'] - 1 ) * yournumberhere;

    otherwise your pagination will become quirky.
