 * Hi,
 * Is it possible to sort the order by which the fields are listed?
 * I tried using the ‘show=”exif_field, …”‘ argument to define the order but it 
   always defaults to Aperture first.
 * Also: there isn’t a Lens field listed in your site, but does it exist?
 * Thank you for this plugin, it’s very useful!

 * Hey there!
 * Yes, you can sort the fields. At the moment you need to do it with PHP:

 * I started writing in a Lens field, but it’s actually difficult because most lenses
   seem to use an ID of some kind, not a plain text name, so I need to build up 
   a database of lens IDs and their names in order to display it sensibly… there’s
   a lot of lenses out there!

 * Hi kistrarella,
    Thanks for your reply, I’ll have a look at rearraging the exif
   data as you suggested.
 * As for the lens database, you may find this useful:

 * In the middle of the article you’ll find links for a database project for most
   Lenses available, it could help!
 * Cheers
