Order of pics in albums.

[Shmavis]

Hello.

I am most likely missing the obvious. But it seems that I’m unable to put pics in my album in order. In the folder I’m uploading from, they’re in order from oldest to newest. This order is not maintained when I upload them. And I can’t figure out how to rearrange them in the album folder so that they are... is it even possible?

Many thanks for any help!

I'm not sure if there's way to do it in your profile.

The main thing is to create different albums for different things.
Also when link your pics in a thread you can pic the one you want.
So you can set the proper order that way at least in a thread.

Lol u are missing the obvious . They will load in the order of smallest to largest file size for the simple fact of less bandwidth needed to complete a smaller file JK btw if I sound like a ass

Thanks for the replies.

Yeah corky I realize I could produce order through selection when posting, but that’ll require a lot of digging. To have them arranged beforehand will help a lot.

Regardless of why they uploaded and displayed how they did, can I rearrange them as I’d like? For example, if I change the file name to an actual name (instead of being numbered as they are now) would they then arrange alphabetically?

Or should I read what you two have said to mean that I cannot rearrange them?

Thanks again.

Why don't you try uploading the last image first into an album and work backwards.

Maybe, that will put them in the proper order? I'm not sure though.

Because I don't have the last pic yet. (Was hoping to add pics along with the progression.)

Yeah, I'm going to have to mess around a bit to see what's going on.

It was just kind of a bummer to have them sorted and in order only to find them not in order after uploading.

At first I thought it was no big deal as I'd be able to drag and drop where I wanted. Realized that was a no-go and then didn't find any options to arrange them and figured I was overlooking something... as can be the case with me and technology...

Alright, thanks, I'll have to try some different ways.

Be careful when moving or renaming images. It could break links if you've posted the images already.

The last pic you posted appears first.

Thanks Skip for the heads-up.

I'll see what I can figure out.
