Drop Down Sort Order Form

[Quinn]

I found a piece of unfinished code here in a earlier post that was what I was looking for and thought I would give it a go -http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,58676.0.html
it works as expected, but only if I have Admin Controls enabled... else I get the error!?!? All Guests have the same issue.

Error
The selected album/file does not exist!

CPG 1.5.12 bridged w/SMF 1.1.12

Maybe there is a simple reason for this action?
