NextGEN Gallery Album Sort Order

I am using the NextGEN plugin in WordPress to display a thumbnail for each gallery in an album. However, it seems that the gallery order that I specify in the album is only preserved if there are 5 or fewer galleries in the album. When there are more than 5 galleries in the album, the thumbnails display in a consistent but wrong order. Adding a 7th gallery shuffles them again, etc.

I looked in the database for the order but it is too cryptic, e.g., WyI2IiwiNSIsIjQiLCIzIiwiMiIsIjEiXQ==

This is the shortcode that I am using:

[ngg_images album_ids="9" display_type="photocrati-nextgen_basic_compact_album" thumbnail_height="300" thumbnail_width="300" thumbnail_crop="1" override_thumbnail_settings="1"]

That didn't work for me, but deleting the gallery from the page and reinserting it did as per. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-sort-order-not-working

Unfortunately it is buried deep, and no really useful answer can be found on the web, except for the following thread, which finally helped me: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/album-sort-order

  • Go to: Other Options > Image Options > Default Sorting Method
  • Change it to "Custom"
  • Go to: Manage Albums
  • If you now change the gallery order and save the album, the change will be respected
