Arbitrary ordered option?
Permalink Browser Info Environment
A request:
Would it be possible to have an increment/cycle option added to this block?
In other words, in addition to the default random behavior, the content manager has the option to cycle through a file set according to some arbitrary order criteria (your choice - no options), instead.
In cases where only a few images exist in the file set being randomized, true random can result in some images being displayed more often than others.
Thank you for considering my request!

No worries, then. I have a cookie-driven code snippet that does something similar, just thought I'd ask in case you already had something similar "back-pocketed" for this block. Cycling behavior is not a requirement at this stage, so I'm happy to use the block as-is. If cycling behavior does become a requirement, perhaps I'll get in touch! :)
Thanks for the swift reply!

I understand your request, but unfortunately it's not something I will be able to implement for free. It requires a bit of work (because the block must "remember" which was the last-displayed image from one page request to another), and this addon isn't something I use much in my own projects so I must prioritize other things on my extensive todo first.
If this is something you have a budget for, though, let me know and I can provide an estimate for you.
Best,
