My pictures are all numbered. The latest additions have larger numbers. However if i sort by filename the photos are being displayed from old to new (001.jpg -> 999.jpg). Is there any way to reverse this? I am sure there is since I found some earlier solutions on this forum (but I don't think they work with the latest version). I have no programming skills myself so I was hpoing someone could help me out here.

Try this:

Identify the file classes.php in the /zen folder. Find line 579:

ksort($images);

Change it to:

krsort($images);

Now if you sort by filename or title in the Admin Panel, the largest filename (or title) will be first.

Brilliant, works like a charm. Thanks

is there also an easy way to order the album the same way

There is a small problem , now I use krsort instead of ksort 'prev' en 'next' buttons work the other way around. I guess this is because the order hasn't been changed in the database. Any other way to fix this?

1. I believe in the same file classes.php there is a ksort($album); which when changed to krsort($album); will reverse the existing order of your album folders. Play with it and see.

2. Regarding the prev-next issue this has to be solved in the theme. A dirty way to do this for the default theme

Find the file image.php (/themes/default/image.php).

In it find the section: <div class="imgnav"> at line 24.

Within the section replace two lines

Replace line 26 which reads:
<div class="imgprevious"><a>" title="Previous Image">« prev</a></div>

With:
<div class="imgnext"><a>" title="Next Image">next »</a></div>

Replace line 28 which reads:
<div class="imgnext"><a>" title="Next Image">next »</a></div>

With:
<div class="imgprevious"><a>" title="Previous Image">« prev</a></div>

Don't change anything else and please backup your original files so you can revert easily.
