Druid: one workaround for this is to use the galleries search function to:
1. Search by: Description
2. Starting with: a
3. Select all the results
4. Edit the first entry's weight and assign it to 2.00
5. Click to Save to All Results
Then repeat this for each letter, incrementing the weight a little for each letter.
On your gallery template directives, then you can output by weight which will give you an alphabetical output by description.
Certainly not the most efficient method, and using direct SQL queries would be quicker and more efficient, but this should provide you with the necessary results.
Incidentally, if you do a Google Search for "unofficial JMB support", a guy named CL Peters is providing a peer-to-peer forum specific to JMB software. I'm not a member there, but have used JMBSoft scripts since the late 90's (anyone remember Rank 'Em?)
, and have a fairly reasonable idea on how to get the results I need from those scripts.
