Sort Image By

[TKE233]

My photos are best viewed if they are viewed in the order specified by the filename. Is there a way that you can add the "Sort Image By" file name option?

Admin Control Panel:

Settings>Image Settings>Sort Images By

Select "Name" from the drop down list.

That sorts it by the name I give the photo, but not the exact filename like
billybob-party-01.jpg - Photo Title "Zoo Party"
billybob-party-02.jpg - Photo Title "Animal House"

If I chose short by name, the second photo one will show up before the first one.  But my photos are in order based on the filename...

I hope this clears up my situation, thanks again for the help!!

You are right, by default you can't sort by image file name. To add this option simply open "lang/english/admin.php" (i guess you use the english language files) and replace

Code: [Select]

"image_hits"      => "Hits"

with

Code: [Select]

"image_hits"      => "Hits",
"image_media_file" => "File name"

You can now choose "File name" in the settings screen.
