Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.When uploading additional images to a gallery, the position of each new image is inconsistent. Most views will do a sort first by weight, and then by node ID or created date. However, this can be problematic:
- Create a gallery and upload photos to it.
- Using the Sort Images tab, move the first image to the end of the gallery.
- Using the Upload tab, upload new images. Since they will be uploaded with weight = 0, they will be inserted before the last photo.

zengenuity CreditAttribution: zengenuity commentedI think this can only happen when you have jQuery UI sorting enabled. (Can you confirm that's what you are using?) The tabledrag interface always makes the weights negative, but the jQuery UI version is using positive numbers. They should be consistent. The attached patch makes the jQuery UI interface use negative numbers like tabledrag does.
Your patch looks like it works, but I think this is a better way to fix the problem.
