Under the heading of yet another unwelcome DA (un)improvement, the new method of managing the galleries, to be blunt, sucks.

I just finished spending nearly an hour attempting to get the pictures organized by artist. No big deal, I've done that hundreds of times under the old system. I've even managed to do it with the usual DA "bugs" and "glitches" forcing me to first shift the pictures to a separate folder, before moving them back into order under "My Commissions" in favorites.

But the new system incorporates a glitch of epic proportions for frustration. You first have to hit an "edit page" button - never had to do that before - then if not on the same page (and if you've more than roughly 2 pages due to continuous scrolling, you'll need to deactivate it due to loading errors) - transfer image to new folder then move to the correct one,  sort images into correct order. THEN PRAY. When you deactivate the "Edit Page" function, if you moved  a file, the DA page editor will randomly resort the images for you. I've had the image "jump" a few rows up, swap positions, drop a position down, intersperse itself between other images AT RANDOM. Such an improvement, NOT.

I can appreciate that someone is FINALLY trying to track down all these bugs. Heaven knows there are more than at a flea circus. But substituting a complex process to replace an easy simple one, and introducing new bugs that incorporate the old is not helping.
