  Hello WP team,

  I would like the gallery images to be sorted using their filenames. It’s because I often have lots of pics on a post, and it takes a lot too much time to drag and drop each image by id ;-)

  I’ve tried using [gallery orderby ="ID DESC"] and [gallery orderby ="ID DESC"] as explained in the FAQ, but it does not work fine. The gallery result is the same whatever the solution I try, with DESC, ASC, and also without orderby option … You can see the problem here : http://notrepetitefamille.wordpress.com/2007/08/17/test/ .

  It seems this is a bug … So, is there a way to sort images by their filenames using gallery ?

  Thanks a lot for your answer

  Hervé

  No answer … I’m not the only one to have this problem, see https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/sort-gallery-by-id?replies=13#post-236670

  Hope somebody from the WP team could analyze this bug …

  PS : Thanks a lot for the WP core team to have fixed the gallery resizing bug si quickly ;-)
