How do you keep gallery avatar images displaying in the correct order?

Post by Bruce Banner »

As I was uploading a new forum last night, I uploaded along with it a folder inside images/avatars/gallery that had 6 subfolders. It took me over 2 hours to get the images to display in the avatar gallery in the correct order, as the first two images in some of the subfolders kept randomly switching places. I had to keep deleting and reuploading the main folder and, as I say, it took me over two hours before all the images displayed in the correct order. How can I avoid this happening again in future?

The images in each folder are numbered, from 1 to whatever. When I check in the avatar gallery to see if they're in the correct order, instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, they're often in the order 2, 1, 3, 4. The first two images keep switching round.

Are these avatars you acquired somewhere, or did you build the gallery? If the former, can you link to the file?

What do you mean by build the gallery?

Create subfolders and populate with images.

Yes. I only got the images online but the order they're in is the order I put them in.

So is there a way I can avoid the first and second images in a folder randomly switching places?

How are the images "numbered"? Where do the numbers come from?

Just the way I named them. 1, 2, 3, 4... I don't understand why you keep putting words in quote marks like that, like there's more than one meaning to "correct" or "numbered". I don't understand what other meanings there could be.

It would probably help, and have saved a lot of time, if you had posted a screen grab of the files list

What do you mean by the files list? I don't understand what that means. I don't have a list of the files. I just have a folder with the subfolders with the files in them. What do you mean by a list?

The files that are a folder where they are not displaying correctly

There's clearly a missing word somewhere here. The files that are a folder doesn't make sense. What do you mean?
