Albums Displayed Out of Order

[GoogleCodeExporter]

On which type of gallery your problem occurred ? (G2, G3, Piwigo ?)
G2

What version of regalandroid are you using? On what Android versions?
1.0.0

Can you provide your gallery url so that a developer can reproduce the
issue ? do we need to login ? in which album the problem occurred ?
http://www.willowville.net/gallery

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. View my gallery on a computer.
2. Note the order of the albums.
3. View same gallery in app.  Albums are not in correct order.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would like to see my albums displayed in the same order they are online.

Please provide any additional information below.

I confirm the problem exists also with G3 galleries.

hello !
could any of you provide more details ?
For example, a sample gallery url with the expected album order (date or alpha, 
etc...) and what is the order observed (date or alpha, etc or completely 
random).
Then, I'll be able to investigate if it the remote API that doe snot return in 
the right order, or if it ReGalAndroid that does not keep the order...
thanks

Look at my gallery via the web browser.  All the top level albums are in 
descending order by year, the first one being 2011 followed by 2010, 2009, etc.

Now look at the same gallery in your app and you will see the albums are top to 
bottom: 2009, 2008, 2007 back to 2002 then it goes to 1998.  2001 is way down 
the list and 2011 is last.

Thank you for looking into this.  Even with the 'annoyances', ReGalAndroid is 
shaping into a very nice app (one I would buy).

In my G3-Gallery, the order is "manually". In the App, I can't find out, which 
order is used!
If you like to test it on my gallery, I can send you a login for testing.
(and by the way, thanks for your great work)

This is a pretty serious issue for me -- I have a *lot* of folders,
and the current jumble is much too painful to navigate.
My Gallery 2: http://photos.navas.us
My top-level album order is Name > Descending with No presort
My default Theme order (for most sub-albums) is Name > Ascending with Albums 
First
ReGalAndroid presents this order: 145-137, 146, 133-095, 109 ... etc.

• Added labels: Priority-Low
• Removed labels: Priority-Medium

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Why the heck was the Priority dropped to Low?!
It's a pretty serious issue for people like me,
making the app pretty much useless!

hello,
I'm the only developer working on this app; and as I develop this app on my 
free time, for free, I set the priority according to the time I have and the 
stuff I would like to see in the app.
if you want to investigate and provide the fix, I'd be happy to review it.
I may work on it if nobody does; question is when.

Anthony,
The way g3 sorts the albums and images is by the column weight.
is there away you can add this, looking through a couple of examples on the 
gallery site they use

public boolean isManualSort() {
        return m_Sort.equalsIgnoreCase("weight");
    }

I know that's not the correct syntax but hope it helps solve this issue.

Fair enough. I'll lower my expectations (and rating) accordingly. I suggest you 
make this clear in the description of the app.

Come on John, its a free app.  It is open sourced as well.  If you want to help 
you can fix the problems yourself.  I may just do this if I have time in the 
next few weeks.

In my opinion (remember, its just an opinion), the focus should be on the core 
functionality until it works correctly.  Adding new features is pointless if 
the core product is hard to use (incorrect sorting makes it hard to use).
