Use Display Options to sort newest to oldest

[Hammerfel]

I want the latest images to be at the top in this Display options query.

Here's Sorted by Date Added, Sort Order Ascending:

Here's Sorted by Date Added, Sort Order Descending:

They're the same thing! How do I get the new images at the top?

Descending will show the newest at the top.

But it doesn't. Try it.

If you set Gallery's default sorting to be descending by date (in AdminCP), it'll work. But using the dropdowns at the bottom doesn't work to change the sort order, I think. (I think I reported that a while back.)

Ah, so it's a bug.

I don't want an admin-set solution, I want users to be able to use these sorting options the UI displays.

I can't seem to find the post now, but I remember running into the same issue, and I thought I had posted a report about it... Dunno.

Ok, my admin friend fixed the mising code and the sorting works now.

If it helps, he said

I didn't have time to wade through all the code in browseimages.php tonight
to see exactly why the sort order wasn't being set, but I did create a fix
anyway. I checked $condition['direction'] (that's where the sort order
should be) and found it was blank right before the query, so just above the
query I added:

if (!isset($condition['direction'])) {
$condition['direction'] = iif($_REQUEST['direction'] == 'ASC', 'ASC',
'DESC');
}

That fills in 'direction' with what you set it to in the request if the
code gets that far without setting it itself. It shouldn't get in the way
when the code sets it to DESC or ASC automatically for other types of browsing.

If you'll look in your browseimages.php file for this code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

And replace it with this:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Then that should take care of the problem.
