We found at times a member's photo always stays as the first one on a particular cagetory. Usually this is only possible if a moderator "Stick" it. But we are pretty positive that this is a bug related to Private Album positioning.

These photos would have been in their private galleries at one time. Whilst there members must have given their photos "position numbers". This is done by going to "my photos" / "my albums" / "Sort photos" / and then "position numbers".
The position number given is then added as an attribute to the photo file.

However when these photos are taken out of the private galleries and moved to the public galleries, this attribute will remain, but this time hidden. Hence the photos will take priority over all other photos in the public gallery, as the others all have a hidden attribute of "zero", whilst these photos will have a positive number.

We discovered this with a member's help and have verified that the above is true.

Please try this yourself, and hope it will be fixed in the future release.
