Hi. Not sure why this was marked as resolved. I’ve been trying to do the same thing – change the default ordering in the admin – and have not found a solution yet.
From what I’ve seen in the plugin’s source code, there probably is no filter to set the default ordery, but there definitely should be one. Any chance this feature will be added (and documented) soon?

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, the code does not work.
Every single thumbnail in the gallery still loads, this just adds style=”display:none” to the images.
That still forces the web browser to load every thumbnail image. That’s hundreds of extra HTTP requests, loading hundreds of extra images into memory, which are not even displayed.
It’s definitely not a viable option in this situation. In fact, I’m having a hard time imagining any situation where this is a useful option.
I suggest making the same shortcode prevent the extra thumbnail img tags from being rendered in HTML.
