I have been a Rapidweaver user for many years and am working on switching my site to Elements. I have a family website where I keep photo albums updated with photos spreading over many years, basically a photo journal of trips and events. Problem I’m finding is that when I add a folder of photos into the resources it sorts them in some random order. Is there a way to have the “gallery” sort and display photos in a specific order like date or title or even an option to force the resource folder to sort in order? ---

create the folder first then drag the photos from your album into the folder then they should keep the sorted list in order ---

Thanks, that works but I hope they add a way to have a sort option in the menu down the road. ---

Unfortunately does not work for me. We need the Gallery editor to be able to sort the images. I can’t use Gallery without that feature. ---

My bad. I figured it out. I can sort images in the Resources tab under that resource folder. ---

We’ve just added a “sort” option for resources… this feature will be going live in a build later this week 🙂 ![CleanShot 2025-08-25 at 7 .19.35@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/9/8/98781c16196a11fdbb84e1bb458b4602799c1724.jpeg) ---

Any chance of adding a “manual” sort where it will respect and not alter the order in which we place the resources? ---

It’s manual by default, this just applies the sort as a one time thing 🙂 ---
