Image order for specimens in carousel #201

Open doricon opened 11 months ago

doricon commented 11 months ago

Can we change the order that images appear in the carousel for specimens? Currently the last image node created is the first image in the carousel, which is counterintuitive to how people naturally enter (which is usual the general/best image first, then additional detail images later). We would want to see the general/best image as the first image. This was mentioned by multiple people at the workshop.

Two ideas: (1) make it default to the first image node entered for a specimen is the image that shows up as the main image. (2) allow a check box or something that identifies whether an image node is the "primary image". This would be the image that shows for the main carousel, as well as any thumbnail or whatever in search results in Explore. (3) allow full choice of ordering of images somehow (not sure how this could be implemented)

I like option 2 the best.
