Honour server image sort order about piwigo-flutter-app

[remi-martin]

Hi, thanks for your feedback.

It seems that the API of Piwigo doen't handle album sorting on fetch. To sort images I use the order property, but it is not available for albums.

However, the API returns all the albums without pagination, so I can sort and filter them easily. From what I can see, these are the sorting conditions available in a Piwigo:

• Album Name, A - Z
• Album Name, Z - A
• Date Created, new - old
• Date Created, old - new
• Date Posted, new - old
• Date Posted, old - new

Is that alright ?

I expressed myself poorly - sorry.

I am happy that piwigo-ng presents the albums in the order they are set on the server. Admittedly, having the option to sort them within piwigo-ng is not a bad idea at all.

I was focussing on image order. You correctly give the sorting options in Piwigo but omitted the option for manual sort order. That sets how a visitor sees the album pictures in browser. My use has images that are best presented in an order not set by name or date but say, by content sequences that I choose as the best for the album.

So it is image order that is of concern for me. Seeing the album contents in piwigo-ng as one does in browser with order set by the gallery admin.

Oh okay, so you are talking about a custom image order. Or, I think it is the default order given by the API. I'll add a "sort by default" option to see if it is the behavior you want :). It will be added for next update.

Yes, a custom image order as set on the server. Thanks!!

This seems to work with the new "Manual Order" setting. Thank you!
