Custom Image Order using ID Method Not fully working
Status: fixed

I am using DCG Version 3.3.5, WordPress 3.1. My website is in an early development stage but can be viewed at F & B Insurance

My images are attached to Posts. The Custom Image Order is checked in ID Method Settings. I have added order numbers from 1 -13 in the DCG Metabox Sort Order section of each of the 13 Posts that has a linked photo. I have assumed based on the documentation that this is how to order the images but it is not working. It's like it's not refreshing from the order of the first images I added to the Id Method settings prior to putting order numbers in the DCG Metabox. (Though I have played around with this enough I am not entirely sure of the exact sequence I did various things)

I have cleared cache, tried it in several different browsers, taken all the ID's out of the ID Method Setting and then replaced them in random orders and they always come back to the same order — which isn't my custom order. I have double checked ID's and Sort Order of the posts. So I am befuddled.

Below is a list of the Post ID, Meta Order entered on the Post Page, and Actual Order appearing.

ID Order Actual
 61     1    1
140   10    2
131   11    3
126   12    4
147   13    5
101    2    6
 92    3     7
109   4    8
105    5    9
118   6    10
  93   7    11
  87   8    12
  82   9    13

Thank-you in advance for any help you can give me on this.

Thanks! BTW, if you are viewing the site, association of the pic with the ID might be useful, so I added it below:

Jane,

The only way I can work out what's going on is to see your Dashboard and plugin setup. If you like, you can send me a WP admin login and password to ade at studiograsshopper.ch and I'll take a look.

I haven't been able to reproduce this on my test server, so I'm not convinced that there is a bug.

If any other user can demonstrate the same issue, post away! Thanks.

Hi. I have encountered such problem. I tried to use ID Method but it sort the images in a different way.
It's something like what Jane illustrated above.

Here's my site.

Any fix for this?

Thanks.

Jad,

Can you list the post/page ID's and the DCG Sort Order for each?

Hi Ade,

Sorry I wasn't able to get the post ID and the DCG Sort Order.
I have deleted my posts for the slider because the ID Method is not working.
I still have sorted properly my sliders. I deleted all my posts and added them according
to their sort. But what Jane illustrated is pretty much the same.

I'm hoping for a fix for this issue. I'm subscribing to this post, btw to keep me updated about this.
