Drag and drop sorting issue

I want to arrange the picture order within an album. In the admin control panel I have set it to manually sort then using the drag and drop I have arranged the thumbnails in order of how I would like them displayed. The problem is as soon as I hit save they go back to how they were before.

Any ideas please?

    Could you please post which browser and which version you are using (which operating system would help, too)? These nice ajax functions can cause little trouble with some older browsers.

    Zen 1.0.8.2, browser's tried are Firefox 1.5.something (not got access to that at the moment to check exact release) and FF 2.0.0.6 on a separate rig. Both rigs are running XP Pro.

    EDIT I have just noticed this issue is only occurring in one album, the drag/drop is working correctly in others.

    I have noticed this problem as well. At first I thought it was associated with having a file in the folder which was not an image. However, now it seems to be a timing or initialization issue.

    Try setting the sort order to manual before you do the drag and drop.

    Tried doing that, in fact that's how I always do it.

    Set order to manual, select the thumbnail to display as the thumbnail for the gallery and then go to drag & drop and order the gallery the way I want. Saving at each step.

    I solved the issue in this case by deleting the whole gallery and starting again. It was not too much of a problem as there were only 8 pictures in there, but should it happen on one of my other galleries it will be a real pain...some of them have almost 100 pictures complete with descriptions, titles and comments.

    Thanks for trying to help anyway :) I'll keep my fingers crossed it doesn't happen again.
