Hi,
I've got two questions which I couldn't answer myself... the first one is about the sequence of all pictures within a certain album. I understand that I can choose pictures to be put in individual order (too many to do that), sorted by upload date (I had that and would like to keep it, but there's a problem) etc. Now, in this album
http://www.iroke.de/wp/gallery/jun_philipp/
I have uploaded pictures, their upload time fit into the chronological order they were supposed to show. Even more important, the newest pictures are shown on the first page. After a few months, I uploaded a handful of pictures which from their chronological sequence belong to the beginning (see here: http://www.iroke.de/wp/gallery/jun_philipp/?g2_page=1), but couldn't move them to be shown on the last page of the album since the order was set to automatic. Setting the order to manual, I could reorder/rearrange them as I wanted, but the problem was, I couldn't set "newest items first" anymore - which is important, otherwise visitors will always see the oldest pictures first and will have to click all the way through to the newest. Is there a way to manipulate the date of those ultrasonic pictures to be older than the current oldest picture (on page 4?) and have the album arrange the pictures automatically showing the newest items on the first page?
best regards,

Grendel

p.s.: The breadcrumb navigation won't work atm, just remove the part after the questionmark...
