Hello,
i have a gallery like:
`

                    <?php foreach($page->images()->sortBy('name', 'desc') as $pic): ?>
                <li class="colA">
                    <a data-strip-options="maxWidth: 800" target="_blank" data-strip-caption="<?php echo html($pic->caption()); ?><?php if(!$pic->Link()):?> ā€” <a href='http://<?php echo html($pic->Link()) ?>'><?php echo html($pic->Link()) ?></a><?php endif;?>" data-strip-group="shared-options" class="strip" href="<?php echo $pic->url(); ?>">
                        <?php echo thumb($pic, array('width' => 300,'height' => 410));?>
                    </a>
                </li>
                <?php endforeach ?>`

    and a file structure like:
    1-file.jpg
    2-file.jpg
    3-file.jpg
    ā€¦
    10-file.jpg
    11-file.jpg

    But in kirby it is sortet wrongly like:
    1-file.jpg
    10-file.jpg
    11-file.jpg
    2-file.jpg
    3-file.jpg

    What can i do?

You can use a sort flag as the third parameter

<?php foreach($page->images()->sortBy('name', 'desc', SORT_NUMERIC) as $pic): ?>

Hi, i have the same issue. Iā€™d like to display my image files like:

1
2
3
4
5
ā€¦
11

<?php foreach($page->images()->sortBy('name', 'desc', SORT_NATURAL) as $image): ?>

gives me the files in the wrong order

11
ā€¦
5
4
3
2
1

<?php foreach($page->images()->sortBy('name', 'desc', SORT_NUMERIC) as $image): ?>

does not solve the problem as well, the files are displayed as

1
11
ā€¦
2
3
4
5

Could isotope be the problem? I have no clue how to solve it. Thx for help in advance :slight_smile:

Looks like SORT_NATURAL returns the right order, though? But you should make it asc instead of desc. If you think Isotope could be the culprit, Iā€™d disable it for the moment and check if the result is correct.

<?php foreach($page->images()->sortBy('name', 'asc', SORT_NUMERIC) as $image): ?>

Makes it! Thank you
