Ordering the gallery view and editing multiple titles
Posted: 21 Jun 2026, 15:43
Hello,
I am progressing with the transfer of all my images from Multithumb to Phoca Gallery and have come across two issues I cannot solve so I would like to ask for your help again.
I am using J5.4.6 and PG 5.1.3. I have tried this with Chrome 149.0 and Firefox 152.0. In styles, all are published except for theme_standard.
Issue 1. I am unable to order the category view by title. This is the page I am working on: https://www.angloboerwar.com/photo-gall ... ure-groups
In options, Category view, Image ordering = Title Ascending.
It appears the sort order is derived from the id, not the title.
Whatever I set the Image Ordering to, the order is always by id ascending. Each time I change the PG Options I delete the server cache.
Issue 2. I have several thousand images to transfer. For each one I need to set the title. Is there a faster method than opening each image, editing the title, saving and then closing? I wonder if there is any sort of table or grid view that lists one image per line with the title editable? Or perhaps a 'Save and next' as an extra button. Can the title be edited directly via the table?
Can you suggest any solutions please?
With thanks
David
