I actually prefer date ordering over filename ordering for images.  Neither are perfect.\r\n\r\nYou can override whatever the default ordering is by using a gallery.cnf file.  Only one is needed at the top level if you want to control the default order on all subdirectories.  I do this too, so changing the default wouldn't really affect me.\r\n\r\nThe photo sharing apps mentioned as a comparison are really photostream type sites with stuff like RSS feeds.  They're really more of a bloggy type thing than a photo *album* type thing.  Other sites that serve directories of photos might have different default orders...  (dropbox, picasaweb, etc)  It doesn't matter what they do though.  OwnCloud is supposed to be better than those sites anyway.  :)\r\n\r\nI still think there are two competing use cases.  One is a directory of photos served up as a photostream.  New photos can be added frequently... and the newest should be on top.  The other use case is serving up photo albums.  A directory for somebody's wedding...  A different directory for a vacation to New York...  Another directory for a family reunion... etc.  These album directories make sense oldest image first as that is how you would probably want to flip through the photos.\r\n\r\nWhich use case is more common?  I think sharing directories of organized photos might be more common than a photo stream...  but we're only talking about the default.  The content owner already has control using the gallery.cnf file."}}
