Applying the image sorting patch to beta5? [#350951]

Firstly, thank you so much eastcn for your excellent work on this great module.

I would like to request that you implement the patch written by Berdir outlined here:-

http://drupal.org/node/312323#comment-1057886

I've patched my version of 6.x-2.5-beta3 and notice that you have not included it yet in beta4. I can attest that this patch works and fulfills a very useful need to sort images in a more refined way. Could you do this eastcn, or do you have a reason not to?

I tried to find another way to sort of flexibility, each node or album. Maybe in the next version release.
thanks

I hope the next release is coming soon, since sorting is really critical and I love this module. Can't live without it, so please help.

NeilPorter, I applied Berdir's patch, however couldn't find where I can sort the images and/or album. Can you please provide some hints to do so?
thanks!

Mine is available from Admin > Content Types > Photo Album (Edit) and then at the bottom under 'image upload' there are two new options, 'Sort by row:' and 'Sort by direction:'. I chose File ID/Date (Default) and Ascending.

Thank you. Do you know if we can re-arrange the albums and the photos by drag 'n drop somehow? sorting won't work for me.
Also do you know if we can specify how many albums we want on a page?

thank you.

Hi Vako

To my knowledge you can't drag n drop the images, it's all done with the 'old' method of weights. Also as far as I know you can only have one album per node, so putting more than one album on a page would only be possible if this module exposes itself to views (I guess) and I don't think it does. Sorry I can't help further.

To be honest, as good as this module is I'm moving over to a imagefield/imagecache solution for my photo/gallery needs.
