Sort Albums in Categories by date

[wyukig]

I tried to search the forums for the string above but no hits came up.
I don't know what its called, but that is precisely what I want, for the new albums created to appear at the front instead of at the back by default.

I looked in the cpg 1.4.x faq and all I can find is the mod to sort the pictures in an album by date.
I want to sort the albums in a category by date as well.
Can't seem to find the option in the config to change it to that.

I know I can change the order of the albums manually one by one, but I don't want to do that everytime, and my gallery member's won't know about it.

So how can I have the latest albums show up in front automatically instead of the oldest.

Thank you in advance for the help.

When you talk about the "latest albums" do you mean the albums with the latest uploads or the albums that have been created recently (order by album ID)?

The OP hasn't replied, but I would like to know how to do this (either by updated or created). I've played around with a few bits, but either there's been no effect or I've caused the site to fail.

I've searched through the forum and haven't found a solution.

Finally found it!

I'm assuming mtime and ctime and modified and created, which was just what I was looking for!

Ok, I was a bit eager.

Still haven't found a solution...

Open index.php, find

Code Select Expand

ORDER BY a.pos, a.aid
and replace with

Code Select Expand

ORDER BY a.aid
(three times) to sort albums by date created.
