Order of Album Sets and Albums

Hi there,

I have a webpage with sport pics, the pictures are ordered by season, then by league, then by match.

So I created in Lightroom album sets for the seasons, then within each season album set the league album sets, then within each league album set the match albums.

Now I want to order it on top level by season year descending=latest first,
on second level by whatever league order I prefer,
on album level again by match date descending=latest first.

The result should be like this:

season 2017
- league A
>> match 2
>> match 1
- league B
>> match 2
>> match 1
season 2016
- league A
>> match 2
>> match 1
- league B
>> match 2
>> match 1

I gave all album sets and albums a slug so I could order it descending by slug to get the wished order.
So my slugs ordered descending would look like this:

2017
2017_02
2017_02_02
2017_02_01
2017_01
2017_01_02
2017_01_01
2016
2016_02
2016_02_02
2016_02_01
2016_01
2016_01_02
2016_01_01

The only place I found where I can set some ordering is in Backlight>Publisher>Top-level Galleries>Order Albums by, what I set to "Slug -descending".

As a result, I get this order:

2017
2017_01
2017_02_01
2017_02_02
2017_02
2017_01_01
2017_01_02
2016
2016_01
2016_02_01
2016_02_02
2016_02
2016_01_01
2016_01_02

Meaning, the top level is ordered by slug descending, the other levels ascending.

Is this a feature, or did I miss some settings for the lower levels?
And, do the lower levels order at all by slug ascending or maybe by whatever else criteria (creation date, title,...) leading to this result?

Thanks,
Markus

Re: Order of Album Sets and Albums

you can also set ordering on a per album set basis in Lightroom. Just edit the album set and choose the ordering you want. The setting is in the Base Settings tab
