Media uploaded in "random" order

[SigmundurMorkore]

Which Umbraco version are you using? (Please write the exact version, example: 10.1.0)

13.3.2

Bug summary

When uploading multiple media items at the same time (using drag and drop or similar) the resulting order of the items in the Media Folder are "random".

Specifics

Back in 10.1.19, when bulk uploading items, the resulting order of items would be the same as in operating system. However now in 13.3.2, the items are in a random order after uploading.

The order should be the same as the operating system, like it was in 10.1.19.

I have only tested 10.1.19 and 13.3.2, but I would guess the bug was introduced with the parallel upload improvement: https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/pull/12947

---

Bug is likely that now media is uploaded in parallel, and the media items are sorted in the order they are created. A improved implementation would tell the server which order the media items should take.

Steps to reproduce

Create a bunch of different files on your operating system labeled:

• 01
• 02
• 03
• 04
• etc

Upload them using a bulk upload (like click and drag) into a media folder in BackOffice.

Expected result / actual result

The result is that the media items do not take the same ordering as they did in the operating system.

Hi there @SigmundurMorkore!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot :robot: :slightly_smiling_face:
