Hey,
Do you mean for the Advanced Gallery block? There isn’t an option to randomize the order, sorry! I can chat with the developer about this being added to the features requests.
Have a nice weekend!
Best,
Hannah
Hello Hannah,
yes, that would be great!
Kind regards.
Hey,
Thanks for the comment. There isn’t an option for randomizing and it’s not something I can add because of the way blocks are built and the way the gallery is built.
Gutenberg has two types of blocks, static html blocks and dynamic blocks rendered through PHP. The galleries are static which follows Gutenberg’s core standards. This means the galleries are not queried from your database based on a string of image IDs (which could be randomized each page load). Instead, they are statically added as HTML in the order you set while creating so there isn’t a point in which you can randomize the output.
I hope that is helpful.

Just a note that you can move images around in your gallery manually to reorder them however you want, it doesn’t have to be in the order that you add them.

Hello, thanks for your answer.
I don’t mean randomizing on each page load.
Yes, I know I can move images around in the gallery manually. But if I have 100 images, it could take a while.
So would it be possible to add a button into the admin area, that does exactly that? That just shuffles the images once, producing a static page?
Hey @kiblod
Sorry, from my understanding it’s not quite that simple and I’m not sure that adding something like this would be possible.
Let us know if there’s anything else we can help with!
Best,
Hannah
I’ll put this request on my board and see if others ask for something similar.
Thanks,
Ben
Hello,
are there any news about that topic?
Kind regards
Hey,
I’ve not had anyone else ask for similar. When it comes to development time it’s not a high priority if no one else is asking for it. I’m sure you can develop your own if you’re interested in doing some custom coding.
