Media gallery blocks no longer sort by most recent

Looks to me like this might be a bug.

In theory the module does this for you, if you choose the "create a block of most recently added media" option when editing the gallery. Then if you set the block to 1 row x 1 column, the block will only show one item - which should be the most recent one.

However, I just tried that now and it doesn't seem to actually be showing the most recent item anymore.

Is there any fix on this?

No fix yet. The culprit is this code in media_gallery_view():

$full = $view_mode == 'full' ? TRUE : FALSE;
    if (!empty($node->media_gallery_media)) {
      $media = $full ? $node->media_gallery_media[LANGUAGE_NONE] : $node->media_gallery_media_original[LANGUAGE_NONE];  
    }

which undoes the ordering performed in media_gallery_block_view().

Any updates on this issue? Doesn't seem to work in the most recent dev version of the Media Gallery. Thanks!

media_gallery_block_view() creates an ordering in the property media_gallery_media and not media_gallery_media_original.
There is no need to distinguish between view-mode full and media_gallery_block in this part of code.

Here is a patch.

Great, that fixes the problem.
