Default sort order of photos

When bulk uploading photos to a particular album, is the ordering of all the photos suppose to be set to 0 (disporder = 99999) by default? The ordering can then be set by renumbering the ordering via the Sort Photos link.

I've made some modifications to my PP and am just wondering if it's suppose to be like this, or if it's actually suppose to automatically order the photos sequentially (i.e. disporder = 1, 2, 3, etc.) as soon as they are uploaded.

No default order is 99999 and you can specifically sort images if you choose. Usually people order photos by their category sort.

Thanks for the response. I'm trying to add a counter next to the Next and Previous buttons when viewing an album to show the sequence of the photos within that album (i.e. "photo 3 of 12"). In the showphoto.tmpl, I inserted "$disporder of $photos" which works fine if the sort order of the photos is set manually. But if sort order is not set manually then the output will be "photo 99999 of 12".

Can you think of any easy way to accomplish what I'd like to do without having to manually enter the sort order?

Nope sorry not something I have ever thought about. All I can say is something like that you would definately have to code into the product.

I figured out an easy way to kind of accomplish what I was trying to do.

In misc.php, I changed:

if ( $dispo == 99999 )
{
$dispo = 0;
}


to

if ( $dispo == 99999 )
{
$dispo = $cntresults;
}


Then, after the photos have been uploaded, I set the Process button to forward to the Sort Photos page. Sequential sort numbering will then be inserted for any values that had defaulted to 99999.
