Extracted images sorting

Is there a way to sort the extracted images by name?

Hello
thanks for this module, it's pretty usefull !

But I also have this issue..
When I upload a zip containing a serie of pics like "img01 - img02 - img03 ....", they are all sorted randomly..

I think the point of a good image gallery is to be sorted in a certain way.
Then if a bulk upload doesn't sort by name, it only do half the job...

Is there a way to solve that ?

Best
-P-

Changed category to bug report because I don't think the random sorting is supposed to happen. I've looked at the code but nothing I've tried seems to fix the problem. Will keep trying.

Yeah, found it.
Turns out that the cck bit that renders the table does not respect either the element order, the delta or the normal #weight settings from FAPI.
Instead it uses its own _weight hidden value and sorts on that.
If you create file fields using the UI, that normally works, but creating the fields though code - as happens here, skips that step.
If _weight is not set, the sorter produces semi-random results, even if your images were nicely names IMG_001, IMG_002, etc

Here's a patch.

Patch also includes some added error handling and logging that I found necessary when debugging. It turned out the code needed a bit of waterproofing against unexpected conditions.

committed the patch. dman let me know if you want CVS; I took over this project because I found it useful.
