I have a node that contains a media field. From that field you can upload photos. Those file's can have caption associated with them.

I've created a view for files. With the views slideshow module I have a working rotator that displays my images and captions. The problem I'm running that the slides seem to be in FID order and not the order they are placed when editing the node.

I can't figure out how to pass the order appear on the node to the view that's doing the displaying. I've also accomplished the same views display using views for a node, but still no luck in figuring out how to maintain the sorting order.

Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated.

There should be a delta value available for your image field in views, I needed to sort meta data for my image and used a relationship on fid to sort.

HnLn is correct. If you have a multiple value file or image field, you should be able to see a Sort criteria like 'Field: Image (field_image:delta)' to use.

Thanks HnLn, as I mentioned above I tried creating a view for both the file and the node. The node view does indeed have the delta I needed. Thanks so much.
