Photo's listed in newest time order, but oldest date about gallery-card

Yes, unfortunately this is a limitation of the media source (which I assume you're using). It returns the file names but not the actual created date, so the files get sorted only by name. In your case that is sorting time before the date, which is not ideal.

You only really have two options at the moment:

1. Change your node red to name the files something like %Y-%m-%d %H:%M, or
2. Switch to using the files component (link) which can pre-sort the files by creation date.

If home assistant ever provides more file metadata in a media source I will update the card to better sort.

Ah...that makes perfect sense now.

Thank you for such a fast response, I shall make the change in Node Red as suggested.

Thank you!

First thanks a lot for your great card !
As you can only get the filenames from HA medias, I wondered if it would be possible to use the data from the "file_name_format" to sort the media files by date ?

That never occurred to me for some reason, but good idea!

I'll add to my backlog to add an option something like "sort by formatted name"

thank you very much :-)

This should be possible in v3.3 just released by switching on the parsed_date_sort option. Thanks to @kalhimeo for the assist.
