  it is frustrating not to have a plugin section within dashboard, but if this is not possible for wordpresss.com, I would like at least to see a plugin which would let me organise my media library into categories
  this could reflect the categories I have in my site
  I’d be grateful for any help! alicia

  Agreed! Or at least sort in a list view by date or title

  Thank you Trevor, for replying! at least I know now I’m not the only one frustrated by not finding a way of organising the media files for my site

  Is there anyone among the advisers who could suggest some solutions, if any available, which could mimic the proper plugin which lets you organise the image gallery, or let me know where I could read some more about this issue?

  Does upgrading solve the problem or it would just be wasted money if plugins still not available for wp.com, and that was the only reason for upgrading?

  many thanks for whatever help that could be offered

  The best way to organize your Media Library is to organize your media files before you ever upload them.

  Here are a couple of suggestions that I’ve given in the past. Perhaps you will find them helpful:

  thank you Jennifer for your reply and suggestions, interesting but they do not resolve the problem:

  my image files are well organised in my HD in categories and subcategories but I could not replicate the same in the media so they pile up one after the other and all together, and since I do update my website and add photos to the different units and will keep doing it, it would be of great help to have the categories in the website in the same manner as in my PC

  obviously is not to be because plugins are not allowed and that is the end of it!

  thanks, alicia
