Order of Galleries on Gallery list

Using Jamroom

Sorry to be a pain. Our gallery images were in the correct default order of 'latest first' after you did your database enquiry and I switched the ordering feature on for All Quotas. However, images uploaded since then seem to be showing earliest uploaded first, and not latest first as expected.
If you can look at this gallery...

you will see that two day's uploads (the first 10 images) are ascending image numbers and the rest are descending image numbers.
Can I fix this (apart from moving images manually)?
You can see from the image numbers that the first 10 images are

Sorry - the screen shots were attached in the third comment on this discussion (I copied and pasted but didn't carry over the images). Here they are again.
I apologise, I got distracted by the ordering of images within a gallery and overlooked your suggestion for an option to re-order the galleries themselves. Yes I see the problem now. It does sound tedious and I don't think I'd want a customisation just for this, which is not at all essential, just a nice thing to have.

That's all great now with the order of items within a gallery.
Can I ask again about the ability to change the order of the galleries themselves as they appear in the list of galleries for a profile (Gallery tab on profile menu)?
[From comment above]...
With Photo Albums, we have a feature which allows us to change the order the Photo Albums appear in the list of Albums (as seen on the Photo Album tab). This new order is then reflected in the drop-down list of photo albums that is shown when adding an image to an album.
What I was asking is that we would like the same facility applied to Galleries, so that we can change the order in which Galleries appear on the Gallery tab.
I attach screen shots of the Photo Album list and the Gallery list.

Genius!
Thanks so much for that, Paul. It's perfect.

Shame it's not simple. I thought that when the order of a gallery is changed by the user, all the images in the gallery have their 'gallery_order' changed from zero to a sequential number from 1. I was thinking that if the 'gallery_order' number of the first image is zero, it must be an un-ordered gallery and you could use the default.

I'm pretty sure this feature has never been enabled on our site so all the galleries are currently in date order. When I disabled ordering of galleries, the images went back to date order so that is the current state.

I find that I disabled the feature for "All Users" but still have it in my Master Admin user, and that's probably why I didn't revert to date order. I'll disable it for all quotas.

It would be nice to have a default on the gallery ordering feature so it doesn't mess up the date order when it's switched on. Is that possible?

Yes, it makes sense Paul, but it has upset a few people who like their galleries in date order. Sorry, I assumed images would stay in that order unless changed by the user.
I have tried disabling the gallery ordering, but it doesn't seem to have reverted to date order. Is there any way of doing that?

Just an update to that - I turned off the ability to re-order images in a gallery. I cleared caches on PMP and on my PC but it has not caused the gallery images to be re-sequenced into most recent first.

Paul, I changed the setting so images can be re-ordered within a gallery (applied to all quotas).
It seems that some galleries have been re-ordered without any action on the part of the gallery owner. Images were in order uploaded but some have changed.
Is the result of my change, and if so why is that?

Paul, thanks for that explanation and the pointer to the Image Ordering setting which I have now changed.
I'll talk to Roy about the custom feature.

Thanks for your help.
