On the manage page (/admin) when you have a large list of albums, the dropdown should become scrollable. Currently if the number of albums is larger than available screen, the page is enlarged instead of showing scroll inside the dropdown.

Yes. There should be a max number of albums displayed in the dropdown, otherwise it will show all.

Also, like you can see above, the sorting is not really correct with numbers, but i think this is a really minor issue and can be ignored.

Perfect, thanks.

This is because the album names are strings not numbers, so they get sorted as text not numerical.

I suggest showing all albums in the dropdown, but collapsed under parents. Basically only show the parents from homepage, and display the available child albums if you want to expand them.

Basically a combo box with albums displayed like tree view, similar to how folders are displayed.
