Title: Missing admin sort capability Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Missing admin sort capability * [Joy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joyously/) * (@joyously) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-admin-sort-capability/) * I upgraded to 1.1.21 when it came out, but only today went into the admin page on a WP 3.8.3 site. I noticed that the table of images is not sortable. The div and the table have the ids sortimages and sort_images, but the table does not have the sortable class on it. It’s also missing the drag handle column. All the code seems to be there in the plugin folders, and I don’t get any errors. I loaded 1.1.21 on a local test site running WP 3.6.1 and it works fine. I put it on another site I have using WP 3.8.3 and it also does not have the sort capability. Could it be the newer version of jquery in later versions of WordPress? * As a side note, the table of images always covers the sidebar options on the right of the admin page (New Folder, Users, Viewers) unless I switch to fullscreen. I’m not sure when you changed the layout, but it would sure be better if those were above or below the table of images instead of behind it (some people don’t have a very wide screen). * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/lazyest-gallery/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/lazyest-gallery/) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Thread Starter [Joy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joyously/) * (@joyously) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-admin-sort-capability/#post-4872160) * I just tried 1.1.21 on WP 3.9 and still no sort. I looked in Mozilla’s Page Info, and see all the scripts listed there. * Thread Starter [Joy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joyously/) * (@joyously) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-admin-sort-capability/#post-4872296) * After exploring the settings a bit more, I found the one that is the default sort for images and for folders. I see that I had it set to Manual on the old WP site which allowed me to sort, and on the default of Name A-Z on the newer WP site that didn’t allow me to sort. So that makes sense…. Sorry for the false alarm! However, on my WP 3.9 site, where my user is Administrator, changing the sort to Manual and clicking Save gives me a 403 Forbidden error, saying that I do not have permission to access wp-admin/options.php. I tried to change a different option and got the same thing. This makes no sense because this site has had this plugin on it for over a year and I was able to set the options when I set it up. I really have not touched this site except to upgrade plugins and WordPress. * [jlevant](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jlevant/) * (@jlevant) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-admin-sort-capability/#post-4872411) * So, bottom line, is there any way to sort lg 1.1.21 in wp 3.9? I just installed it on a client site since it looked so easy for them to maintain, but do NOT want the folders sorted alphabetically! * Thread Starter [Joy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joyously/) * (@joyously) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-admin-sort-capability/#post-4872412) * Are you getting the 403 Forbidden error? Or do you just not see the sort option like me? * [jlevant](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jlevant/) * (@jlevant) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-admin-sort-capability/#post-4872413) * Hi Joy – no – just no sort option at all. I had it working just as I wanted it except for the order of the folders. I finally deactivated the plugin and am trying out another which is a huge waste of time. Seems like such a simple thing! * Thread Starter [Joy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joyously/) * (@joyously) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-admin-sort-capability/#post-4872414) * I think you just aren’t seeing it. Look in the Settings > Lazyest Gallery page, not the Lazyest Gallery > Lazyest Gallery page. If you set it to Manual, you can drag and drop in the gallery page. Otherwise, you can click on the table titles to sort. * [jlevant](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jlevant/) * (@jlevant) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-admin-sort-capability/#post-4872415) * Thank you Joy – don’t know why I could find that before. I have re-installed it and it is now working as it should.
