Topic: Image order in gallery not what I expect [SOLVED]

My workflow is to export images from Lightroom using sequential names such as Alaska-001, Alaska-002 etc. then drag into JB. The image order changes in an odd way. In the gallery, images 004 thru 028 might be at the beginning and images 001-003 are at the end. Randomize images is off. Is there another option I am missing?

Re: Image order in gallery not what I expect [SOLVED]

Opening a gallery (created in Lightroom or by any other method) in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro should not change the order of the images (unless you change the order yourself by dragging and dropping thumbnails on the 'Images' tab or by using the 'Images -> Sort' options from the drop-down menu at the top).
JuiceboxBuilder-Pro should just read the list of images from the 'config.xml' file and initially display them in the order that they are listed in.

Any additional images you add to a gallery in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro are added to the end of the gallery. They are not automatically put into alphabetical (or any other) order. However, once you have added all the images for your gallery, you can re-order them using the 'Images -> Sort' options from the drop-down menu at the top.

Something is not working right. On the Images page I cannot drag an image to a new location - it appears to drag but when dropped stays in the original location. Also, none of the Image->Sort commands have any effect.

What version of JuiceboxBuilder-Pro are you using ('Help -> About JuiceboxBuilder-Pro...')?
The current version is v1.4.0. If you are not already using v1.4.0, then please try upgrading following the instructions here.

If you are already using v1.4.0, then it certainly sounds like something is amiss. I cannot replicate the problem. Dragging and dropping images into a new order works fine for me, as do the 'Images -> Sort' options.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling JuiceboxBuilder-Pro to see if this helps.

Does this happen with all galleries (try creating a new sample gallery with a few images in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro) or just certain ones?

I am using ver 1.4.0 on Windows 7 64 bit.

I discovered that after restarting JB and re-opening my gallery, I can drag/drop thumbs on the Images page. But if I then use one of the Image->Sort commands, the command has no effect on the image order plus I can no longer drag/drop.

Thank you for the additional information.
I have been able to replicate the problem you describe and have logged a bug report with the developers.
It should hopefully be fixed in the next version.
In the meantime, depending on how you are trying to sort the images, I notice that sometimes, the action you perform is executed OK but requires a click on the 'Images' tab label (or a click on 'Customize' and then back to 'Images') to refresh the page (and display the images in the new order).

Re: Image order in gallery not what I expect [SOLVED]

This bug has now been fixed in v1.4.1. Please see the Upgrading Juicebox support page for details.
