Is it possible to have images that are uploaded & inserted into a post to appear in order by filename? For example: if I select the following images (1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, 4.jpg, 5.jpg) on my computer & upload them into a post (using the editor’s file upload icon) they seem to be inserted in a random order (it’s not by filename or size). This makes inserting images into “How To” posts or tutorials or anything where a timeline needs to be preserved very tedious because images would have to be inserted one at a time in order to preserve the coherency of the post. Is this a CP setting I’ve missed or just the way things are? ---

Interesting use case, I think it is a reasonable feature request to sort by name if you are trying to upload multiple things. Though I wonder “if this is the correct default” why is the operating system not taking care of it? ---

> [@sam](#): > > Though I wonder “if this is the correct default” why is the operating system not taking care of it? Hi @sam, I’m not sure what you mean by that. Here’s another example of what I’m trying to explain: if I use my camera to take pics during a 7 day motorcycle ride, all those pics will be sorted by filename (DSC\_001, DCS\_002, etc.) which presents the chronological order the pics were taken. What I’d like to see is simply for that order to be preserved when selecting those pics & uploading them into a post. ---

What order did you click on the files in the operating system. Let’s try a test: ![png_fixed](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/8/a/8add6c1694420914b108127786f536a46c826117.jpeg) Here’s me clicking on `1.png`, then `2.png`, then `3.png`, _in that order_, and uploading them: ![1](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/b/6/b666902f0b9d45745ba8977553828b431941edf8.png) ![2](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/6/c/6c27b0f0eafa84ef9787ac4b36f28f960ce44eb6.png) ![3](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/a/3/a32610fca7523a7b695c1e109b46b7d079b4e571.png) Looks in order to me.. Let me try again with different images, and I’ll click on them in reverse order, `3.jpg` → `2.jpg` → `1.jpg` ![jpg_fixed](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/3/1/318218ea4c8eecb58e2d580376bc3f6cd706f0e9.jpeg) ![jpg_fixed](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/9/a/9ab8a372f0ebabf33d1d97a61142a3d930b5befa.jpeg) ![jpg_fixed](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/0/c/0c1287edfdb154a67b0f304ba34e002a9eeca654.jpeg) Not entirely sure what happened there, that looks like 2, 1, 3 to me. ---

I suggest starting by putting just the target images in a folder by themselves to test. ---

> [@codinghorror](#): > > I suggest starting by putting just the target images in a folder by themselves to test. That is usually the case. For example there’d by a GoPro folder with a bunch of images sorted by filename (and thus by timestamp). Selecting 20 images to create a ride report for a multi day ride doesn’t yield the correct chronological order where one could simply add a gap between each image & enter whatever relevant text applies then move on to the next image. Every image would need to be inserted **one. at. a. time**. ---

Let me try shift-selecting all images in this folder. Here goes, shift-select the range.. wait, I already see a problem! Note the circled area in the screenshot: ![png_fixed](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/7/c/7c3b33ba43654c26f536d8b8c52d2fc7c39b6df9.jpeg) Now let me try again shift+clicking each one.. wow **nope!** No change! Windows apparently really wants those files sent in that weird order, maybe it’s a “human sort” issue? Let me try renaming them.. wow! _Nope!_ ![png_fixed](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/d/8/d8e1c82266832ac043a05be3cf69e2e029e95ad7.jpeg) Note the filename area again ↑ ↑ 🤣 here’s what works. **Click the files you want to upload in _reverse order of number_**. Therefore I am shift-clicking 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 and I get… ![png_fixed](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/0/9/090f9342021c1ae6f09315c9b6ebc935f50f9791.jpeg) Which looks good, and when uploaded.. ![jpg_fixed](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/9/9/99ba7aaf6e9f7acf80017c2e17ac040149d14b49.jpeg) ![jpg_fixed](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/b/2/b24b515adaea3fb8373a46268e7f803c21ff0eb3.jpeg) ![jpg_fixed](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/7/d/7d758f438d0305c09b3278caa1a436d776d480c3.jpeg) ![jpg_fixed](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/c/9/c94638e2875f13bf06a5f32822f7e54e983e4d92.jpeg) ![jpg_fixed](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/0/d/0da881fa08d0fa8ea3f9fa72ec589716c41ebdc3.jpeg) Upload _also_ looks good. So this is definitely an operating system / browser issue, nothing to do with Discourse. ---

A pop instead of a shift so the indexes don’t need to be revised? ---

> [@codinghorror](#): > > Upload _also_ looks good. So this is definitely an operating system / browser issue, nothing to do with Discourse. Hi @codinghorror, I didn’t mean to imply it’s an issue with Discourse. Is there a possible “fix” from the Discourse side of things where attachments could be displayed in order of filename? Apologies if I’m asking for the moon here – it’s just my ignorance talking. ---

The “fix” is to shift or ctrl click on the files in the correct order as determined by your operating system 😉 See my screenshots ↑ ---

Yes, I fully understand that. I can tell my users to shift-click & (hopefully) remember to select images in a backwards oder, but I was hoping maybe Discourse could handle this automagically in a future update. ---

Discourse is handling the files in the correct order that the operating system and browser is passing them to Discourse. You may wish to file a bug with your OS vendor. ---

Already on that. Would you suggest starting with “Hey Tim” or “Dear Mr. Cook”? ---

It’s interesting that both Apple and Microsoft have this weird behavior, isn’t it? I agree that it is totally bizarre that the OS wouldn’t respect the order in which you clicked or selected the files. ---

Now that I think of it, I notice the same behaviour when copying files to my NAS. If I select an album folder with a bunch of MP3 files (01 - song title.mp3, 02 - song title.mp3, etc.) they also seem to “land” on the server in random order. ---

Could it be the browser and not the OS? [下一頁](https://meta.discourse.org/t/uploading-images-in-order-of-filename/95147.md?page=2)
