Gallery sort orders

[The Thing]

Hi Rick,

Just been into the Most Viewed planets link from Albums/Most Viewed to see what other Jupiter images have been submitted. The images come up in order of date, oldest first, not most viewed. Is this configurable and/or can it be user selected?

Thanks

Duncan

When I go to "Most viewed" it shows me them in descending order of number of times displayed. It even tells me how many times each one has been displayed. However, these won't count occasions when folk have viewed the image directly via a link in the forum (or wherever).

[Rick]

Did you figure out what was happening?

[The Thing]

Yes, I was looking at it wrong :{ The order is correct for the number of views. I sort of had it in my head the count was on the number of hits an image got. As most of us who use the gallery (the new version is great) then post the image on the forum this would be a better reflection of the popularity of an image.

[Rick]

Yeah, but those hits don't go through the gallery's software because they're direct links to files, so there's no way the gallery can count them.

To be honest, the only time I'm interested in a file's popularity is when it causes problems, say by swallowing a large part of our bandwidth. It's not been a problem recently...
