Allow {gallery} macro to sort by filename or by date

Allow the

macro to have a "sort by" argument that would allow sorting by filename or by date of the file. Maybe even allow reording of attachments. Even better would be if there were an EXIF extractor that would allow sorting by the date the photo was taken. This would allow Confluence to be used as a replacement for a photo gallery program such as NGallery, etc. (and would allow me to stop using NGallery at the very least).

Response from Atlassian support regarding the same topic is below ...

Paul,

it is currently not possible to change the order of the images within the gallery macro. It would be fairly straight forward to extend the macro to allow for sorting the images by name or by date.

If you would like to see a feature like this added to Confluence, or have any further ideas or suggestions, please file a request at http://jira.atlassian.com. This will allow other users to vote for the request and add comment on it.

Cheers,
Jens
