Running Media Gallery on D7.21, Omega Theme. As reported elsewhere, drag and drop within a gallery doesn't work. But even then, I have no options anywhere to change the sorting of the images at all. All images in a gallery automatically sort in order of them being added. It would be great if there would be a field somewhere where I could choose 'newest first' vs 'oldest first' etc. I tried going through the various module files and changing 'order by' to DESC everywhere, but nothing changes..

Until this is solved within the module, is there a way I can alter this in the database, or did I miss an 'orderby' in one of the module files? If so, does anuone know which file and which line I need to amend?

Many thanks for any help on this..

Issue summary: View changes

Media Gallery works *only* by manual ordering by the editor. It's not a view you can do global settings on.
In this way it gives you more control than older 'view' methods, but at the same time takes away your ability to bulk sort.

I have started Media Gallery Extras to scratch some of these issues.
A "re-order by date" button may turn up there if my client needs it enough.
