Hello.

I have a custom field of type = File.
The Field Name is project_image

When publishing an article I use this custom field to upload and add multiple images to an article.

In an XML template I display the articles, and the images within each article as follows.

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="work" order_by="entry_id" sort="asc"}
    
        <images>
            {project_image}
                <image src="{file_url}" >
            {/project_image}
        </images>
    </project>
{/exp:weblog:entries}

This all works well.

But I am at a complete loss as to how I would change the order that the project_images display. Could someone please point me in the direction of a technique that would allow me modify the order of the display of the uploaded files?

How are they showing now? In the date of the file upload?

Yes, it’s working as expected. Sample output as follows.

    <images>
            <image src="http://tt:8888/images/uploads/01a.jpg" >
        
            <image src="http://tt:8888/images/uploads/01b.jpg" >
        
            <image src="http://tt:8888/images/uploads/01c.jpg" >
        
            <image src="http://tt:8888/images/uploads/01d.jpg" >
        
    </images>
</project>

But I would now like to apply an arbitrary ordering to those image files.

You might be able to use Matrix to order things exactly the way you want. Look for it over on [url=http://pixelandtonic.com”>Pixel and Tonic[/url You could also ask the author.
