opentype Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 I keep struggling with this on several sites since 4.0. Upload fields for multiple files/images are nice and easy to use—at first. But once you have uploaded something, you are stuck with the order created. No chance to reorder anything. You have to actually delete every file and start over again. Which gets almost impossible if you upload many images through one field. Hope this can be changed someday. The drag-and-drop sorting function exists in many areas of the suite already. Just not for the multi-upload fields.
SJ77 Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 This issue comes up on a regular basis for me. Just want to get in with a +1 here.
bfarber Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 With attachments you can already control this (by choosing which images to insert and in what order). Where would you like to see this functionality added?
opentype Posted January 10, 2018 Author Posted January 10, 2018 For me personally it’s the Pages upload field for Pages databases. I add it to many of my Pages databases to let people upload multiple images for the record, e.g. for pictures of a hotel in a hotel directory. Not everything is meant to be used in the editor and often specific files need to be collected through separate fields. In that hotel example, I might have fields for “location shots”, “room pictures”, “restaurant pictures”, “PDF brochures” and so on. I assume it also makes sense in other apps which offer that field.
scaz Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 Hi, I was looking for it (I thought it was possible or there was a plugin in the marketplace, but no) and I came across this topic. I wanted to know if there was any new because I find it really useful. I also meet the same problems and it would be really great if it was possible to reorder the images with a custom field 'upload' in Pages. 😉
