There are two ways of sorting photographs inside a gallery.
Automatic ordering
You can use automatic ordering based on the following sort criteria:
- By Date Ascending
- By Date Descending
- By File Name
- By Title
- By Upload Order
To apply automatic sort ordering:
- Open the gallery you would like to edit by either selecting it in the Organizer or double-clicking it in the Main Area. Thumbnails will load in the Main Area and the name of the gallery will display at the top.
- Click on Sort in the Section Menu and select the desired sort criteria. Photographs will be reordered based on the new sort criteria.
Feel free to experiment with different sort criteria until you get the order of the photographs you desire.
Sorting can be improved by paying attention to the upload order sequence in the Zenfolio Uploader since this is one of the sort criteria. Alternatively, some users assign sequence numbers to file names before uploading and then sort By File Name.
Manual ordering
You can fine-tune the sorting of the photographs in a gallery by manually shifting thumbnails to the desired position.
To manually order photos:
- Open the gallery you would like to edit by either selecting it in the Organizer or double-clicking it in the Main Area. Thumbnails will load in the Main Area and the name of the gallery will display at the top.
- Select the thumbnail of a photograph you would like to shift and use the Shift Left and Shift Right tools in the Section Menu to change its position.
You can change the position of multiple photographs at the same time by selecting them first using multiple item selection and then using manual sorting tools.
Tip: if you have a photo at the end of a long list of photos, and you need to shift it to a position in the beginning of the list, it is easier to select all the photos preceding it using multiple item selection and then shifting that entire selection with a single click. It is sometimes more convenient to first choose Show All thumbnails on one page before performing this operation.
Hope this helps.
