As per above. I'm using a inline to show most recent pages using meta(date). I want to limit the number of items to 20 but here is the catch I want to maintain chronological order. Kind of like using sort -n | tail
.
Showing the n
oldest pages in chronological order starting with the first is easy just combine sort and show. Same thing goes for showing the n
most recent pages in reverse chronological order.
Can't figure out if what I want to do is doable.
A bit of background: I'm using my tweaked img plugin to populate meta data from images. The meta date is set according to the image exif data. On the homepage I show thumbnails of the 20 most recent images. This is a site of family photos (why I can't share the link here) and such and it's a bit confusing to show all sequences in reverse. I.e first image shows all the presents opened then they repackage themselves and end up with ribbons.

I don't think this is currently possible:
show
takes the first n pages after sorting.Care to contribute a patch adding
show="last 10"
? Then you could doand I think that would have the result you want.
I could do a patch if I could program... The img plugin stuff is more a working accident of mine
For now I've reverted to showing all albums in reverse chronological order. Atleast then people aren't confused by different ordering of the homepage inline and the actual album.
I'll see if I can have a look at the show last patch as you suggest, but that won't happen shortly.
