Of course

Why does your gallery does not provide sorting?

This can not be solved easily because a dam record is related to more than one 
selection tree (category, folder tree, media type). So to which category 
should the sorting belong to? Changing the sorting order will cause 
unexpected ordering in other categories.

Sorting in a gallery (FE) have to be done in the gallery itself.
