Sort MobileMe Gallery and Facebook Albums

Hi Mark.

I had the same issue and, through trial and error, think I may have found the solution - at least for MobileMe (I haven't used the Facebook publishing yet).

If you log in to your MobileMe photo gallery web app at http://www.me.com/ then you get a list of your albums down the left side. You can drag each album up and down the list to order them.

(not sure if the next step is actually required or if you just need to wait a bit...)
Next, open up your iPhoto app and let it sync the new MobileMe album order.

Finally, go to your gallery page on the web at http://gallery.me.com/your_username and hopefully you should see the albums appear in the order you set.

If they still appear in the wrong order, try refreshing the gallery page, clearing your browser cache etc...

Hope this works for you.

Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. The albums at gallery.me.com/USERNAME don't have the same order as when I view them at www.me.com, AND they don't have the same order as the list under MOBILEME in iPhoto.

Anyone else experience this odd behavior?

Apparently, just because your me.com account says the galleries are ordered in a particular way, they may not be. So, I just moved each album around and back into the right order, and now it's showing up fine on gallery.me.com. This apparently has NOTHING to do with the order that they appear in iPhoto. Odd.

You can sort them into Alpha order (one way - no undo - and it sores all albums in the source pane) right click (control Click) on the source pane and select sort albums - If you name them with a leading data that sorts correctly in Alpha (yyyy-mm-dd) then that will sort into data oder as well
