Can't Find a Sort Order field in ID Method (Custom Image Order)

Hello,

My url is http://www.MyYardRocks.com and I'm using DCG version 3.3.5. I use the ID method (there's no Pages Gallery Method option) and would like to selecgt the order in which my images appear in the DCG.

The Tip says:

Check the box if you want to apply your own ordering to the images in the Gallery.

This option activates a Sort Order field in the DCG Metabox. This lets you specify a sort order for the images in the gallery.

The Sort Order field works in the same way that Pages Order works for ordering Pages in a menu.

but I can't see/find Sort Order field or DCG Metabox.

Am I looking right at it and just don't recognize what I'm looking at?

Thanks for any assistance.

Regards,

Diana

Diana,

Go to the Write Page screen and click the Screen Options tab (tab right corner) and make sure that the DCG Metabox is checked.

Hey Ade,

Just thought I'd update you about how I got the images to show in the order I wanted. I found the DCG Metaboxes for each post page, right where you said they'd be. but they were all already checked.

As I scrolled down one of the pages, I noticed another DCG Metabox at the right near the bottom, but this one had several sections, like the one where I had put the url for the image. Well right there, several sections below the Image URL section, were the words "Sort Order", along with the phrase:

By default, images are arranged in the DCG in page/post ID number order. You can override this here by specifying a sort order

I never saw that before! Anyway, it solved the probem. Just thought you might like to know.

Regards,

Diana
