Description

Version information

  • Laravel: v6.9.0
  • Voyager: v1.4.1
  • PHP: 7.2.19
  • Database: MySQL 5.7.24

Description of problem

I'm not sure if this is already a feature. I searched and searched without any luck. In the Create screen, when using the Media Picker, the sort is by name. It becomes very frustrating when you upload an image to the post, and then have to search for it because it is ordered by name by default.

Proposed solution

Possibility to set the Media Picker sort/order in the field settings where you set the other settings for the media picker.

Alternatives considered

None.

Additional context

Would be good to be able to set the sort on the general Media Picker (the one chosen from the sidebar) as well.

Research direction
Examine Voyager's Media Picker implementation, particularly the JavaScript component and the field settings configuration. Review the existing comments on issue #4948 for any additional context or suggestions. Implement a new sorting option in the Media Picker field settings that allows users to choose the sort order of images.
