 * Hi.
 * On my photos page:
 * [http://www.n10tophnompenh.co.uk/photos/](http://www.n10tophnompenh.co.uk/photos/)
 * the order displayed does not match the sorting order within the NGGallery Manage
   Albums section. The Yosemite album is displayed as 3rd last, yet it always appears
   at the top of my gallery. Is this a bug or am I missing something to get it displayed
   as it should be here:

 * Many thanks.

 * [@hooj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hooj/) – What are you using to insert
   the album?
 * If you use a shortcode it should display in the same order as the screenshot,
   but if you use the IGW then you may need to re-sort them under the Sort / Exclude
   tab of that specific display.
 * Thanks!

 * I’ve tried both. Currently using [album=4,extend] as the shortcode which works
   fine on another blog.

 * [@hooj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hooj/) – That shortcode, if you want
   to continue using NextGEN Legacy structures, should be: `[album ids=4 template
   =extend]` … see if that works better for you.

 * Hi.
 * Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Unfortunately adding in a new shortcode
   or using the gui to add the album made no difference. It’s very strange. I even
   deleted the tables manually in Mysql and recreated the albums, but to no avail.
 * Any other ideas?

 * [@hooj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hooj/) – … and using the IGW to insert
   the display and arranging the sort order under the Sort / Exclude panel does 
   not work for you?
