Question

Lightroom CC, Share album, order

I have an album, where photos is sorted by creation date.

I want to share the album with my family and create a link.

When I view on web the order of the photor is changed and not in cronological order.

If I inverse the order on web viewing, I see the photos in inverse cronological order.

Is this a bug in Lignhroom CC?

      Same problem.  It is now over two years since the original post.  Is there really no resolution still‽ 

       

      I can set my desired order (newest first) in Lightroom Classic and in Lightroom CC and in Lightroom Web.

       

      When synced and shared on Lightroom Shared Album or Lightroom Portfolio, the order is still in chronological order (oldest first).

      My Lightroom Web doesn't look like the screenshot above (doesn't have that Photo/Display/Sharing/Proofing line).  

       

      I had been using the reverse order option at the lower left hand side of the image grid (1st screenshot above) and that worked in Web but not when Shared...

       

      Then I kept digging to find that Display option for the settings applied in the grid (2nd screen shot above).  Once I found it under the "painting pallet" icon, I again reversed the order and it DID show up in the shared album.

        Thank you!!! That was the solution I have been looking for! So it is still a problem.

        I have the same issue! Every update I think it may change. How long do we have to wait for this simple fix?

        At the very least give us the ability to display the images in reverse, so the newest one is first.

        I use this as a living album to share photos of a new baby with friends and family. I'm tired of telling everyone to scroll to the end to see new photos of my son!

        The best way to customize the view of a gallery is with Lightroom web. Sign into your account at lightroom.adobe.com. Select the album. You can change by capture date or custom order in the photos tab by clicking in the lower left corner of the image grid. See screen capture.

        Or there are much more options in the Display tab.

          It worked! Sort of. I have to logon and hit reverse order everytime I upload a new photo! Is there a way to just diplay them in reverse capture date order all the time? Like even when i add a new photo?

          Just to clarify the fix.

          The only way to change the order of your photos when you "share to web" is to change the display setting of the album on lightroom.adobe.com

          Changing the order of the album in the ios app or desktop app has no effect.

          Same problem! I want to sequence my photos manually then share to web and retain that order. I can't!

            Same here. Very annoying, and considerably limits the usefulness of being able to share the albums

              Same problem. Very annoying. The order in the "share" view doesn't match the order in my lightroom album.

                  Same problem here. Can sort by reverse chronological order in the album view (so new photos appear at the top), but cannot do the same in the "Sharing" view. The only option is manually reordering, and that is completely impractical for me to manually reorder 1000+ photos and to reorder every time I add an additional photo to the album.

                  I want a shared album that shows the newest photos at the top so family and friends can easily see any new additions.

                    Same problem here. Any album that I share on the web (I've tried with 3 different albums), the photos are displayed in random order.
