Folder always come first.

No matter what I do, I don't seem to be able to get Folders to the bottom of the pages and Images to come to the top.
I'm sure I'm missing something basic, but I don't have a clue...
Any ideas would be helpful.

No matter what I do
You didn't mention what you did, so I am guessing.
- Did you try to change the "Ordering" on the Settings / Photoblogger / Main content panel?
- Did you run Make album after the change?
- Is the Settings / Advanced / Process only updated directories unchecked? (It should be.)

To do the reordering of the sections, go to Photoblogger > Main content, and on the right-hand side in the attached screenshot, drag Folders below Images.

Entirely forgivable. Intuition would tell you to reorder the objects in the main jAlbum Explore window. But as you've probably discovered, that doesn't work! Actually, in a few very old skins, it does have the effect you might have been expecting.

Originally, jAlbum was made to display objects in whatever order they appeared in the Explore view. However, this resulted in chaotic thumbnail layouts where it was hard to spot the folders between the ordinary thumbnails. That's why I made Turtle skin so it separates the different content into blocks: Folders, Thumbnails, Pages, etc.
Later, I made a few more skins, e.g., Story, which follows the Explore view order but starts a new section for every new type of content. The Lizard skin has multiple options for placing different content types in various places, but it also has a "Mixed" mode where you can mix different types of thumbnails.
So, I see it's hard to grasp this concept, but I haven't found a better organization yet. jAlbum's Explore view is unreachable for a skin.
