sorting issue(back to index)I have a bunch of "old" photos to be uploaded to FolderBlog. What "date" does Folderblog check for sorting purposes? Right now it seems to sort according to "uploaded" date, i.e. the sequence I upload the files.
Since there is already a "date" field in the "webinterface", can we have Folderblog sort the photos according to that?

imho, the date-field isn't the right one for sorting, since it is just a text-field and the users are filling it with different data depending on there local date-format (25 Jun 05, 25. Juni 2005, 2005-06-25) or even with text instead of a date.
have a look here: http://www.jowra.de/artwork/?image=elements_water
the text 'elements - water' is the date field.
but it would be great if there's a possibility to change the server-filedate. I've googeled many hours to find a ftp-client or something like that, that is capable of changing the date, but no luck. if anyone knows a way to modify the filedate, that would be great since I would like to add the exif-data to my older images, but when I upload them, the appear as the newest image, but they shouldn't.

Non-date field doesn't matter to me. Blosxom (a blog software) make use of a text-field for the purpose of sorting by allowing users to implement their own house-keeping rules. :-)
So if one wants to sort blog entries by yr-mth-day or d-m-y or just 020504, it will be the user's choice and the user's structure. Several photos taken in the same day can also be sort by alpha: e.g. 041205_fire, 041205_water, etc.
Another blogging software (Serendipity) also allows changing of "date" for sorting (which allows me to go back and add an older entry.)
