WordPress media import file order

Replies: 0

Well,

I’ve beat my head up against this for some time. Initially I thought it was the theme I was using. So I’ve completely changed my site and am now using Twenty Twenty-One.

Let’s describe the scenario:

1) Import media from my local machine into WordPress. Everything looks okay, except WP adds the odd -1 to some of my imported media. In the import screen all the files are in the order of the filename.

2) Create a Gallery in a WordPress posting. The media selection shows the images just imported in an incorrect order.

How to rectify?

Thank you
