Album listing order

I have a list of albums on my gallery page. I would like to switch the order (so that the most recent is first) - ie sort by album date.

Please can you tell me what the album date id is so I can add it to the SORT.

Thanks

On my gallery/index.php i have :

<div class="box gallery upcoming">
  <h2>List of Albums</h2>
  <ul class="glist albums">

         <?php perch_gallery_albums(array(
            'template' => 'list_of_albums.html',
        )); ?>

      </ul>              </div><!--end box-->

In my list_of_albums.html template I have :

 <li class="event">
  <a href="album.php?s=<perch:gallery id="albumSlug" />"><perch:gallery id="albumTitle" /></a>
  </li>

I think that's your page rather than the album.html template.

Ok. What's the ID of the date field you want to sort by?

whoops I think you wanted this <h1 class="text-center welcome"><perch:gallery id="albumTitle" type="text" label="Title" size="l" /></h1>

<span class="text-center welcome"><perch:gallery id="description" type="textarea" label="Description" editor="markitup" textile="true" order="1" size="m" /> </span>

I can see a album date when I look at the albums that have been added though the perch user interface. But I can t see a date here!

I have this on my album_listing.html template which looks more useful. Its from the nest example. It sets a date using timestamp - so I'm not too sure what the field is called...

<div class="col-sm-6">

     <div class="album boxer">

        <a href="album.php?s=<perch:gallery id="albumSlug" />">

        <img src="<perch:gallery id="square" />" alt="" />

        <span class="image-count"><perch:gallery id="imageCount" /> <span class="lang-photos">photos in this album</span></span>

        </a>

    <div class="box gallery minor boxed">

    <h2><a href="album.php?s=<perch:gallery id="albumSlug" />"><perch:gallery id="albumTitle" /></a></h2>

    <time datetime="<perch:gallery id="date" type="date" format="Y-m-d" />" pubdate="pubdate"><span class="day"><perch:gallery id="date" type="date" format="jS" /></span> <perch:gallery id="date" type="date" format="F Y" /></time>

    <perch:gallery id="description" type="textarea" textile="true" />


    </div> <!-- end box gallery minor boxed --> 
    </div> <!-- end album boxer -->

</div> <!-- end column-6 -->

Ok, it looks like it's just called date. So

'sort' => 'date',
'sort-order' => 'DESC',
