Is there a way to place the albums first, then the pictures when sorting an album that has sub albums and pictures?

If you really need it and don't have time to wait for an update try this dirty fix :D... but no warranty, I'm not one of the developers.
What you could do is put this on line 50 of your 'modules/gallery/controllers/albums.php' file.
$album->sort_column = "type` ASC, `".$album->sort_column;
It will sort on type first.. alphabetically. So first 'album', then 'movie' and then 'photo'. Within those types it will adhere to the normal sort method.

Created ticket #439

I would have liked putting something in like this: ORDER BY FIELD(type,'album','photo','movie','idontknowwhatelse')
But the sort_order function automatically places the value between ``'s, so it becomes: `value` or with field: ORDER BY `FIELD(.......` and that doesn't work. Also because this sort order has priority, it's not possible to put another column in front of it.
So I still think it should be done carefully, in stead of this fix.. I'm just not that into the code yet to propose something.
