paging and sorting in media

[ulfetalhussaini]

In media if we have large sets of images (more than 1000 image) it load all images without paging and there is no sorting (to get the last image) so it is difficult to find and choose the last image we added..

There will be an update in 7.1 for increasing performance for large sets of files. In regards to paging and sorting, the media view supports hierarchical folder structures to avoid having thousands of files in the same folder. Isn’t this a better solution than just adding paging to a folder? Also, if the view is fast enough, maybe good search functionality is better that sorting and paging ad you want minimal amount of clicks for finding the asset you’re looking for.
