it's only image files that appear to be are affected (why them i don't know) so can just zip and attach them.
though how someone who's only been registered on here for almost 8 months is complaining about things not working for 5yrs is bizarre
(seeing as it broke within the last 2 months).
then again, it's simpler to just setup a simple v2.2 install and test it directly to see if it's how you expect / want it to be than asking (as i don't remember doing much to change the order of the output on the pages other than ordering them by time if found to be from the same IP address).
