Alex, thank you for trying to help me. I feel so stupid that I can’t get this figured out, and it’s holding everything up until I do. I can sort the images within a gallery just fine. No problems there.

I want to sort the galleries within the album. I have manually sorted them, using my mouse, within the MANAGE ALBUM page. But this is not reflected in the actual sorting of the galleries when someone views the album. They are still randomly sorted. They are not sorted according to how I manually sorted them. They are not sorted by date added. They are not sorted by galleryID or by pageID. They are not sorted alphabetically. I cannot figure out how they are being sorted and how I can change it. They look randomly sorted to me, but they are always sorted in the same random order. I can make a new album and they remain in this weird order. I’ve even deleted galleries from my site, recreated them, and they still end up in the sort in the same place. So, obviously there’s some reason they’re being sorted this way, but I can’t figure it out.

Let me put together an example album and do a few screen shots for you, because obviously I’m missing something here. It sounds like it must be some easy thing to do but I can’t seem to get it.

this is a screenshot of my manual sort of the galleries within an album, on the MANAGE ALBUMS page.
