WYSIWYG media library sort order

[jgd1955]

I'm migrating a client from Magento 1 to 2 and I've uploaded all of their images and photos to /pub/media in two separate folders.

I can see these folders when using the wysiwyg editor and select an image, but the images appear in a random sequence rather than alphabetically. Is there a way of chnaging the sort order of the media library elements?

Hello @jgd1955 

Please follow the below steps:

1. Navigate to vendor\magento\module-cms\Model\Wysiwyg\Images\Storage.php
2. Go to public function getFilesCollection 
3. Make changes in the below code as per your requirements:
   

   setOrder(
               'mtime',
               \Magento\Framework\Data\Collection::SORT_ORDER_ASC
           )

I hope it helps.

Thanks

I checked the file and can see the string )->setOrder('mtime',\Magento\Framework\Data\Collection:ORT_ORDER_ASC);
within the following section at line 317 

/**
* Return files
*
* @param string $path Parent directory path
* @param string $type Type of storage, e.g. image, media etc.
* @return \Magento\Framework\Data\Collection\Filesystem
*/

I guess I've got to add that string in another section?
