Make sort order customizable

[nicokaiser]

Sort order of albums (list) and photos (page) should be customizable in the frontmatter (sort_by, sort_order).

First of all thank you for this awesome theme.

What is the status of this issue?

I noticed there's some activity in layouts/partials/page_gallery.html regarding this issue, but it doesn't appear to be functioning yet. Can you confirm if this is correct?

Would be cool to have this feature 😄

If it is not already working can I somehow assist?

You can set the order of photos in an album using the sort_by and sort_order frontmatter variables:

Sorting albums is currently not supported, albums are always sorted by date descending (because sorting of albums = pages requires a different approach than sorting photos).

Great. Thanks for the clarification 👍
