Ordering Facebook Albums using Drag and Drop

I use quite a few great components including FJBAlbum to import my facebook fanpage albums to my Joomla Sites (J2.5+ J3+ and J3.5+)::

This Joomla extension displays Facebook Page (also called Fanpage) albums into your Joomla website. Use the powerful servers of Facebook to host and administer your photos and use this extension to display them on your site. You can display single album view (menu or module) or 2 level gallery view (only menu)

Sometimes there is an issue bringing the albums in the order I would like them, I may want them ordered via facebook and as the drag and drop function doesn't appear to work anymore I could no longer re-order them.

However I found a work around to re-order facebook page albums using drag and drop function that no longer works when you view your albums

https://www.facebook.com/media/albums/?id=YourFanPageIDgoesHere


replace YourFanPageIDgoesHere  with your fan page id number

The easiest way to find your Facebook Fan Page Id is to go here:

http://findmyfbid.com/

Example:

I want to know my page id so I go to http://findmyfbid.com/

I enter my facebook fanpage url  http://facebook.com/notrees

then my fan page id is found
 253582761350485
so I edit this url

https://www.facebook.com/media/albums/?id=YourFanPageIDgoesHere

and replace YourFanPageIDgoesHere  with my fan page id number

https://www.facebook.com/media/albums/?id=253582761350485

Once I have done this I can drag and drop the album thumbnail covers into order easily

How to re-order personal profile facebook albums using drag and drop function that no longer works when you view your albums

Use this link

https://www.facebook.com/media/albums/

then drag and drop your albums via their thumbnail covers in order.

I hope this helps.
