I am using zenphoto version 1.0.6

Is there a way to sort the thumbnails by date, so the latest ones show first? I don't want to drag them, because I already have over a 100 pics and I add ~10-20 pics everyday.

Does the new zenphoto have this option?

i am interested in this, as well as other sorting options for thumbnails/albums eg alphabetically, newsest albums/thumbnails etc

Yes, more sorting abilities will come in version 1.1, along with EXIF data and the new admin interface. This should give the ability to sort by image date, alphabetically by title/filename, sort by (insert any field here), and to drag them around to customize the order.

Just FYI, the current "Title" and "filename" sorting options sort alphabetically... that may help you for now.

I expect this ordering feature. I want to view images by uploaded time as flicker
