Hi there,
I’m sorry the Photo View’s sort order is causing you a poor user experience. Others have had similar feedback in the past.
The Photo View uses jQuery Isotope to output the items in a Pinterest-type grid but not in a rigid row-column type grid.
You can view our Demo Site’s Photo View to compare its sorting.
The events are in order if you look at the top of each Photo View item in relationship to the top of the page (not in relationship to each other). Said another way, if your browser’s address bar is the North Pole, all the Photo View items are in order by the earlier start dates being “more north” than later events.
These 2 screenshots may be of further help:
I hope this clears things up. Please let me know if this makes sense.
If you’d like to see the sorting script improved, feel free to suggest it as an enhancement at our plugins’ UserVoice page. This allows others who are interested in that feature to easily voice their support. We frequently review suggestions there to find out which ones are popular, then we implement as many of them as we can.
Thanks,
Sky
