Boohoo boohoooo

Drupal is a fine CMS. I really like it. However, not everyone thinks like the Geek.

It's not that others do not like Drupal; au contraire: web site owners LOVE the ease of adding content and keeping consistency in their sites However, there is the inevitable departure from the "greater wisdom" of content management as dictated from the Drupal design team.

My S.O., yipeee, likes the new gallery capability added at MyDLL URTH. but the Drupal team designed the system to display content in reverse chronological order. In other words, older content is pushed to the end. That is not how yipeee thinks a photo gallery should present. Who am I to argue with someone who increases our site traffic by 1000% with her contributions?

Sure: I'm the Geek. "I'll fix it."

True to my promise, older pictures are the first to be seen, and for those who are not timid with code and share yipeee's sensibilities, I leave my recipe to fix your Drupal site. There are two lines of code in one file that require replacing one "word".

The file is (from the Drupal webroot):
modules/image/contrib/image_gallery/image_gallery.module

Change the two instances of n.created DESC to be n.created ASC and you're done!
