    After upgrading to v. 4, I have this issue. When sorting a gallery (using this: wp-admin/admin.php?page=nggallery-manage-gallery&mode=sort&gid=85&presort=alttext&dir=DESC), everything looks fine, but when clicking back to the gallery, it is sorted in what seems to be ascending order by file name.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    In Nextgen > Settings > Image Options, have you selected ‘Custom Order’ for the default sort. Otherwise you may be restricted to using whichever fixed order is specified.

    @mbsharp Yes, I have “Custom Order” set to Descending.

    Hi @johntheviking ,

    I apologize for the delayed reply.

    Could you let me know if the issue persists while using the latest NextGEN Gallery 4.0.5 version? It should enable custom sorting of your galleries by selecting “Custom Order” under “Imagely > Settings > Image Options > Sort Galleries by”

    Best regards,

    Hi @mceban ,

    I now have version 4.0.5 installed and still have “Custom Order” set to Descending, but it does not keep the sort order.

    Hi @johntheviking,

    I’ll mark this as resolved for now as newer versions of NextGEN Gallery have been released. Please update your plugin for the fixes to apply.

    If you’re still experiencing issues with the sort order after updating, please reach out to us at https://www.imagely.com/contact/ and we’ll be happy to take a closer look at your setup directly.

    Thank you.

    Hi @devmich ,

    It seems to work fine for one of my galleries, but for another with several thousand photos, it does not.

    I am now on version 4.1.3.

    Edit: However, as I wanted the gallery to be sorted descending with the newest Id first, I just did an update to the database setting the sortorder = pid

    update wp_ngg_pictures set sortorder = pid WHERE galleryid = '82'
