Hi - I see I can drag and drop gallery items, but how do I order it by name? Currently I have 85 images in a gallery and I want them to order in ascending order by name.

Thanks!

Hello,

I assume we are talking about a custom repeating image field.
There isn't such kind of built-in feature within Toolset plugins, Toolset image fields stores the image URL values, the image title are stored in another post type: WordPress built-in Media library, so you can not order the result by it's name, there isn't other better workaround, so you have to drag and drop gallery items manually

No, it's not a custom repeating field - it's this block (see attadched)

So, if dragging and dropping is the only way, how are they ordered by default?

The result will display as how do you drag and drop those items of repeating field.

There is a custom field "_wpcf-repeating-fields-sort-order", which stores the sort order values in a serialized array format.
