wrong order on render
Closed this issue · 3 comments
I followed the readme and built a static site on render.
It all worked nice and dandy, however the resulting order of photos seems wrong.
In the default setting photo-stream shows the photos first that have been submitted to github first.
Switching the default order via DEFAULT_REVERSE_SORT is not quite an option for me as I want to both host a number of exisiting photos and then append new ones from day to day.
As it stands I can't get the photos to be shown in the right order: the oldest photo of the old series is always shown next to the latest photo commited.
I appreciate that github does not know the date the photo was created, but can photo-stream pick up the time the photo was committed?
Photo Stream does use the following date data when sorting: Exif data (date_time_original) or file modification date.
So my guess is your photos do not have Exif data and so are being sorted by the date they got added to GitHub.
Thanks for pointing this out. My legacy fotos are an instagram dump w/o exif data. I now faked a DateTimeOriginal to fix the order of the set and deployed again, and, alas, it worked!
Great to hear it's now working now! Maybe we should start adding a FAQ/Notes section in the README? :D
