+garenkreiz Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) In the pages displaying a log, the order of the images recently changed (in the past 2 weeks). The images used to be sorted in the upload order, the same order that is used when a log is displayed as part of a cache page. The Next Image button thus doesn't work as expected as in fact it links to an image that was uploaded previously to the current one. Users were used to have the images sorted in the chronological order in the log description and page description and in the reverse order (latest first) in the images' gallery. The situation is now inconsistent. Edited October 26, 2019 by garenkreiz Quote Link to comment
+bliss-chris Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Hi garenkreiz! Do you have an example, a GC where you noticed this behaviour? Quote Link to comment
+garenkreiz Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 My last 2 logs http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=de881951-adda-4296-899b-66fde268fc7e http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=3294576c-afb5-46fc-9a0d-560a0238eeea for example. But all my logs are affected including the older ones like http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=b10706c3-a343-41e3-846e-de01ba28ae46 Quote Link to comment
+IceColdUK Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Very annoying! There’s already a thread on this: Quote Link to comment
+garenkreiz Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 In my case, galleries and cache pages seem to be fine (I'm only using the website to upload pictures). The bug appears only in the log page. 1 Quote Link to comment

The situation is now inconsistent. So we've three contexts here: 1. Log history (list of logs) - images should display first to last (by uploaded) 2. Log detail (viewing specific log) - images displayed first to last where next moves to forward in time 3. Cache gallery (all uploaded images) - images displayed last to first (#3 is the odd one as it's debatable whether the order should be chronological by date/time taken, an EXIF property that doesn't exist in every image and thus can make image order appear wonky, or by date/time uploaded, which would seem to make sense but can show old photos uploaded long after the log as if they were brand new) Anyway, you're saying that for you, #2 is now in reverse order, so the viewing a specific log shows the most recent uploaded image first, and next moves backward. I would agree, viewing the log detail specifically, it's more like a story with a dedicated gallery, and you'd expect the first image shown to be the first image in the gallery (effectively, by upload order, since that's the only thing the user really has control over). 1 Quote Link to comment
+cerberus1 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Wow. If true, I'd find that really annoying. When I leave pics, they're in order for a reason. Most to show others the cache isn't as bad as some assume just by it's D/T. A lot of time the T-rating here is based on distance, and many (I feel) would feel more comfortable to walk a bit when they see the trail's practically a dirt road once you're past the single-track from parking. 1 Quote Link to comment

+thebruce0 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) True yes, with everything in reverse chronological order, from log date, then log id, then image order. Keep relevant items together, and keep the implied chronology in reverse order as would be typical for viewing a growing image gallery from "page 1" Edited October 8, 2019 by thebruce0 1 Quote Link to comment
+Max and 99 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 This has been an issue for almost a month. It's annoying. 1 Quote Link to comment
+garenkreiz Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 The order of the pictures on my log pages is back to normal, with the first uploaded picture first, consistent with the order on the cache page. Thanks to Groundspeak for correcting the bug. 1 Quote Link to comment
+barnold Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 maybe fine that the issue of garenkreiz is solved, but to me the most important is #3. and that is still open after more than two years. really annoying. Quote Link to comment
