File sorting doesn't work.

[Fredd13]

Hi Michael,

first thank you very much for your great tool.

I use the release V2 with Joomla V1.5.25.

but the file sorting doesn’t work correctly.

The name of the files in my folder is formated as a date

ex: 2012_03_02.jpg

Whatever the “Sort Column” is, the sorting doesn’t work.

I have tried Name, Size, Date.

You can see my page here:

journalieres

Display Method = List

Sort Column = Name

Sort Direction = Descending

Any idea ?

Regards

Frederic

@Fredd13. Thanks for posting. I had a look at your site. Then, I decided to test out your claim that the sorting isn’t working. So, I downloaded all your files and placed them on my server, and tested each mode in the plugin. The sorting works perfectly for me. Here are the links to show you what I found:

• List – Name – Ascending
• List – Name – Descending
• List – Size – Ascending
• List – Size – Descending
• List – Date – Ascending
• List – Date – Descending

So, if I have tested it with your files, and everything works, then how is it that yours does not? Did you edit the plugin’s code? Let me know if you made any changes.

I also tested the the settings in Joomla 1.5. Everything seems to work, as you can see from my screenshots.

I don’t know what to tell you considering that your own files are sorted perfectly with the plugin when I try it. I don’t know if the charset encoding on your server file system affects the sorting. That is just speculation on my part.
