P: Album Order Scrambled in Gallery

After successfully using Lightroom gallery during the past year to share collections from Lightroom Classic, the order of albums in my gallery has recently become scrambled. (The order of images within albums is fine.)  I've tried: unsyncing the collections and then re-syncing in correct order;  removing the albums from gallery and then adding back in correct order;  and lastly, deleting all images from Lightroom and then re-syncing the collections from Lightroom Classic and adding to gallery in correct order. No matter what, the albums appear in gallery in a scrambled order. Am I overlooking a solution?  Thanks!

Converting this to a feature request.

I have been experiencing exactly the same issue with the sort order of albums in Gallery as HerbBleich. I have been posting about it on the Lightroom Classic forum see here. I have also tried all the same remedies as Herb - to no avail. I can confirm that the sort order of the albums in the Gallery was previously OK (last used about a month ago I think). 

If any screen prints showing the issue are needed I can post them - let me know. 

I do hope that Adobe will be able to fix this issue as soon as as possible.

Thanks.

In addition when adding albums to a gallery the 'Select Album' sort order appears random or in the the reverse order (not sure) added to the Web. An option for alphanumeric sort in the list would be helpful.

Rikk, I can confirm this Web Gallery album sort behavior using LrC 10.1.1 synced collections on my Windows 10 system.

Couldn't send the second screen shot mentioned above, as the file is a little too large. It shows my public gallery page, with the album order scrambled (as in the first shot above). Sorry for the confusion. If anyone has a suggestion, very much appreciated.

@HerbBleich Seems only the third screen shot appears above. Here's the first (as described above):

Not sure whether the screen shots were included. Will try again:

@Rikk Hi Rikk, thanks for your reply. I'll try to attach three screenshots, taken just now in succession. The first shows albums entered on the Gallery "Content" screen, in my desired order (1 through 6). The second shows a scrambled order of albums on the actual gallery page. For the third shot, I returned to the Gallery "Content" screen, and the scrambled order is reflected there as well.

A screen capture illustrating the issue would be of great help in understanding the issue.
