hello again,

I want to show images sorted by filedate, in one particular folder. Create file config_sort.php with contents:
<?php
$sort_by_filedate=true;
?>

Whatever I do - delete cache (browser, tinywebgallery), cookies, restart browser, try both Opera and FF - images are sorted by name.

Currently running Apache 2.2.11 php 5.2.9 on Win.

have you set
$sort_by_date=true; ?

because the switch you use does select if you use file date or exif date.

added
$sort_by_date=true;

but now the sorting is strange - maybe it is sorting according to exif (where some files do not have this info, I must check) ? It is not doing what I want. By the way, I wanted sort by file time so that newest are first.

you have to set

$sort_images_ascending
$sort_by_date
$sort_by_filedate

how you need it.
Make sure to click on the bandwidth icon after a change because the sorting results are cached.

one image that falls out is without exif date. But I do not want exif date to be counted at all! Just filedate! Is it possible?

you have to set:

$sort_by_filedate=true;

Then the file date is used.

- Michael

yes, I do it! This is the setting that I tried first and didn't change.
In the meantime I discovered that there were more fall-outs and in such a way that I did not understand at all how it was sorted (it seemed something mixed name, exif date, filedate...). So I left it now as it is without particular sorting.

I'm just checking the sorting - something does not work here properly. I'm debugging this right now and let you know ...

- Michael

I think I found it. Does some of your images start with numbers? I was adding a date sorting prefix and when a image starts with a number this number was added to the date and then the sorting was wrong.

I have added a seperator and this fixed the problem for me.

Please use te patch file and retry.

- Michael

yes, thanks, now it works!
with:
$sort_images_ascending =false;
$sort_by_date = true;
$sort_by_filedate = true;


yeah...some were with test names beginning with 001_, 002_, one with a strange original name 86250001.jpg, and others with names not beginning with a number.

this was the problem. I did not take this into account .

Have fun using TWG,
Michael
