Title: Sort order for files
Post by: apassio on January 08, 2006, 03:07:35 pm

In config panel, one can set the default sort order for files (thumbnail view) to:
- title
- name
- date
- position

descending or ascending

Question 1: does the date refer to the date the picture was uploaded or the exif date of the picture (when it was shot)?

Question 2: if it's the exif date, what happens if there is no exif data in the picture, does it revert to the upload date?

Question 3: what does the position refer to? (maybe the upload date?)


Thanks

1) Upload date
2) n/a
3) Applies when custom sort order has been applied. Refer to the docs

Thanks for the info.

There used to be a lot of requests to be able to sort pictures by exif date. Some mods were found (I remember: http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=9360.0 (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=9360.0)). I suppose it was decided not to include them in CPG 1.4.x

What is the most recommended way to implement sort by exif date with CPG 1.4.3?

Thanks

If you read that whole thread you linked, you would realize the answer to this query.
