Rearranging Images in Gallery, Broken Possibly?

SQUAWK!!!
I use and make galleries a lot so I’m noticing something I wish wasn’t the case. apparently, when I add many images, I like to put the images into a certain order and it helps a lot when I want to look for an image. Now it stays like that for a bit, but maybe like an hour or two later, or perhaps when I add more images into the gallery, all the images are out of order once more! Even worst, I would find images I would save, 20 pages later being seen on like, page 1 or 5 or so.
 
I’m not sure if anybody else has this problem but it’s a common occurrence for me since I use galleries SO MUCH. Is there some kinda coding that’s making the images be placed according to the date it was upload or something? I want some control over where I place the images I like without the worry that when I go back to it an hour or so later it’ll be scrambled again.
 
Also, I seem to not be able to drag and drop images from one page to another anymore, which was a REALLY HANDY feature? Why is it gone? The changes made to the site from now is not like how it was a couple of months ago, it has made Galleries really buggy for the past few months. I was hoping the change would eventually come to where this wasn’t a problem, but it still is.
 
Just like the, adding images to your FAV, it’s all in the order of upload date, rather than being ordered in the date it was FAV’d into your favorites. Which, again, makes it hard to find what you’re looking for. Is there going to be any changes to help support any of this in the future?
 
Even now I’m working on a gallery for Somnambula and Sphinxes, I spent all yesterday organizing, and today I go back to it, all out of order…

Yeah, I’ve been having the exact same problem with my gallery of cute Starlight Glimmer images. It would be useful if there was an auto arrange feature, in which you could automatically arrange the images in your gallery the same way you search for images, e.g. date ascending/descending, fave count, etc.

oh good, I am not the only one, which means this is an actual problem. But anywho, they do have that feature, sorta, you know, when you want your last images put in first or your first damages last.
 
But with this problem, it makes that feature invalid since it all becomes scrambled anyways, whoever coded the setup of images must have put a feature like “Order by upload date” leaving those like us having trouble ordering images how we would like it to be.

Just tried rearranging stuff in my gallery just now, thought I broke something or made too many changes at once. Was having trouble moving an image from one page to another so I tried reversing the order to get around that, and now it’s all jumbled. I’m not even sure if it’s still by image number or upload date at all.
 
Was curious so I checked the forums, and lo and behold, a recent topic.

LOL thanks for the +1 my friend.
 
But in seriousness this is a big issue for the site that needs addressing, I’m hoping sooner or later a MOD or Somebody can come and explain what’s going on a little bit. I mean, galleries are important here to some people and I am among them. What is the point of reversing and rearranging any image if the coding or whatever just ruins your order anyways? Then it just makes some of the coding pointless to use…
 
And what’s the point of favoriting the things you like if it’s not in the order you favorite it in?  
The point of Galleries and the FAV system is to make things more manageable for the user in order to find what they like faster by fascination and their own orderly fashion. But if you take this away, you just have discord in your FAVs and discord in your Galleries.

ok, since I use the gallery system a lot, I’ll test it extensively, as now I have to reorder ALL my galleries.
 
I’ll let ya know if I find a bug or a minor inconvenience. Which I hope not

I’m not entirely sure how to describe it, but the Gallery System is still a bit buggy.
 
As far as I can tell, if you were to place about 10 images near the top, their placement is secured but the images near the lower half get scrambled.
 
I have found that if a gallery has not been tampered with since the site changes it stays in that order. Bit if you are to move one image, save, and refresh the page, immediately you will see that the images will be jumbled up.
 
So far this has been the case for every gallery I tested out thus far.
 
I’m going to test this further with a new gallery and see if things actually go smoothly. Also, the mechanic that lets you move images from one page to another, which was a really useful tool, is still not added back.
 
And that’s my update on the matter.
