Sort Images in Admin

Archive

I would like to create an image gallery and be able to change the order of the images from the admin plugin. Is there a good way to accomplish this outside of naming my images file names a certain way?

Initially, I thought I could use the List field in combination with a File field. However, if I understand this post [https://github.com/getgrav/grav-plugin-admin/issues/642] correctly, that is currently broken.

When I use a File field inside of a List field, and try inserting two images, I get lots of extra, null data inserted into my page (and into the Admin interface). Example:

slideshow:
    -
        photo: null
    -
        photo: null
    -
        photo: null
    -
        photo: null
    -
        photo: null
    -
        photo: 
            'user/pages/01.home/housepicture.png':
                name: 'housepicture.png'
                type: image/png
                size: 1780856
                path: 'user/pages/01.home/housepicture.png'
    -
        photo: null
    -
        photo:
            'user/pages/01.home/carpicture.png':
                name: 'carpicture.png'
                type: image/png
                size: 2044203
                path: 'carpicture.png'

Are there any other fields that might allow sorting of images?

Hi, i just started to use Grav for client work, and love it so far. But for this use case, sorting gallery images in the admin, i havn’t found a good solution yet. I would need it almost in all projects i do (mostly designer and photographer portfolios). Any good answer to this question would be greatly appreciated by me too!

I think that would need a custom plugin. We could well add this functionality in admin-pro that is in development however.
