   Yes, it is. It seems to be the same on all the sites I use it on and it doesn’t matter which browser I use. Will have to investigate further. So far you’re the only other person who has reported it. Thanks for letting me know.

   Thanks Ajgon for providing a solution for this problem (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-gallery-sort-order-dragdrop-weirdness?replies=7#post-2739767).

   Ask your web designer to upload this code to the end of the /wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/admin/css/nggadmin.css

   /*Fix for thumbnail sorting problem (NextGEN Gallery)*/

   #wpbody {
   position: static !important;
   }

    This problem has been resolved by the update released in the last couple of days (1.9.7). Thanks, Photocrati!

    what about sorting the order of the galleries that show on the webpage, not the images inside the gallery. i have typed in 1,2,3 for “order number” yet it doesn’t translate to the actual website.
    thanks, debbie

    Hi Debbie. NextGen Galleries appear on the page according to where they are inserted. There is no ‘sorting of galleries’, only the images within a single gallery can be sorted.

    For example, you can be on any page or post, use the Insert NextGen Gallery button to add a gallery. Then you can press return to make a new paragraph and add another gallery (using the same button). The galleries will appear on the page or post in the order you have presented them.
