I checked out my website today and the images are not in the same order they are here on my profile page. The first 25 images on my profile page are not showing in that order on the widget. I don't know where they went as some of the first 25 don't seem to be on my widget at all.
I just looked, John, and your widget images were in the same order as they appear on the Images tab of your profile (the way it's supposed to work), but you have your profile set up to show the Galleries tab by default.
