rearranging images
Hi, I would love if there was a way to sort images by filename so they are uploaded in order. Mine are all over the place! I have to move every individual image on its own, a way to select more than one image at a time to move would be easier too.
Thank you for the suggestion! Please see our comments on this suggestion for information on sorting your images by their filenames, and then add your votes to the following similar suggestion: https://instaproofs.uservoice.com/forums/191822-site-suggestions/suggestions/3585961-imaging-sorting

The images are arranged automatically by their filenames. The names are arranged alphanumerically. Meaning, all numbers that start with a "1" will come before all numbers starting with a "2", etc. Since the number "100" starts with a "1", that image will come before the images named "2", "20", etc.
To allow the images to be sorted automatically, you must zero pad the numbers to be the same number of digits before they are uploaded. Here is an example of how that is done:
Image_1.jpg -> Image_0001.jpg
Image_2.jpg -> Image_0002.jpg
Image_10.jpg -> Image_0010.jpg
Image_11.jpg -> Image_0011.jpg
Image_200.jpg -> Image_0200.jpg
Image_399.jpg -> Image_0399.jpg
Image_1000.jpg -> Image_1000.jpg
Image_1021.jpg -> Image_1021.jpgPadding your images with zeros in this way will allow the images to be sorted correctly after they have been uploaded.
