I just downloaded Gallery2 last night and set up a test site using migrated data from my gallery 1.x instance. Looks awesome.
As we know by now that the album ordering is not preserved as part of the migration. I was actually wondering if there will be an option to keep the album list in a sorted order, like there is for the album itself. I want to be able to sort by directory name (not title), because I prefix all of my directories with a date (i.e. 2004-05-30_-_My_Album).
Also, it would be nice to choose ascending or descending since I want to be able to show the latest albums first.
Thanks...and keep up the great work!

On any G2 album choose "edit album" and pick the "Album Basics" tab.. sort order is at the top. It does have ascending/descending, but it doesn't have sort by (path) name.

It's on my task list, though.

Hmm...the wording around that ("Edit Album", "Album basics") is not that intuitive...but I'm sure that'll get fixed at some point. Is it possible to add a sort by name (path name/file name)?

Right now you can't sort by path or file name, but we will eventually add many more sort types (it's relatively easy to do).

Hi,
here is a patch that allows me to sort by name. I am using an similar scheme as aarora to archive my pictures.
It's seemed enough, but maybe someone could have a look at it if something else needs to be done to make it complete.

I updated the patch for the current cvs head. It would be nice if this could be integrated.
Thanks!
