I am a Gallery Host. How do I Rearrange the Order of my Albums?

There are two Host-defined ways to rearrange the order of your Albums:

  1. Automatic alphabetize
  2. Manual rearrange

ABOUT AUTOMATIC ALPHABETIZE:

  • Automatic alphabetize is set in Gallery Management.
  • Automatic alphabetize will affect ALL Albums in your Gallery.
  • Automatic alphabetize will rearrange (and maintain) the Albums in alphabetical order within EVERY Group in your Gallery (without further interaction by the Host.)

HOW TO ENABLE AUTOMATIC ALPHABETIZE:

  1. While visiting your Gallery's Home page, click on Manage This Gallery (via Host Tools or a menu link.)
  2. Then click on the Gallery Promotional Settings button.
  3. Set the option for List Albums Alphabetically. YES or NO?

    Select YES if you want your Albums to constantly be displayed in Alphabetical order on the Gallery's Home page,

    NOTE: When YES is selected, the Rearrange Albums tool (for manually setting the order) will be disabled.

    Select NO if you prefer to rearrange the order of your Albums yourself.

  4. Then Click Save

    NOTE: Host-defined automatic alphabetical order (as described above) is strictly PER GROUP (as displayed on the Gallery Home and in the Contest Management List.)

    NOTE: The Host or any visitor to the Gallery can utilize the Preferences option on the Gallery Home page, if desired, to temporarily display (for the viewer only) ALL Albums in alphabetical order (regardless of Group.)


ABOUT USING THE MANUAL REARRANGE TOOL:

  • The manual Rearrange Albums tool is available on your Gallery's Home page.
  • Manual rearrange lets the Host determine the desired order of the Albums within ONE specific Group.
  • Manual rearrange will affect ONLY the Albums in the selected Group.

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL REARRANGE TOOL:

  1. Sign in using your Username or Email Address and Password.
  2. Click on My Hosted Galleries in the menu.
  3. Visit your Gallery's Home page.
  4. YOU MUST USE the Album Group List button to select a specific Group.

    NOTE: Manual rearrange is disabled when All Groups is selected.

  5. Then click on Rearrange Albums (via the Host Tools button or menu link) to access the Rearrange Albums page.
  6. Drag and drop the Albums to rearrange the order of the Albums with the Group.
  7. When you are satisfied with the order of your Albums, Click the <--Done button.


NOTE: The Rearrange Albums tool will be disabled if List Albums Alphabetically is set as YES in Gallery management.

IF you receive a message that the Rearrange Albums tool is disabled, you may jump directly to Gallery management by clicking on the Go to Promotional Settings button (in the popup.)

If you switch back to: List Albums Alphabetically NO, SnapBraggin will recover your most recent manual order, and you will be able to manually rearrange your Albums.
