do you prefer when art sections of websites are more grid-like or more chronological? i keep being unhappy with my art section and i'd rather just know how people prefer to browse someone's art, what they think looks good etc

I don't have a preference for how I browse other people's, but for me personally I don't do chronological... I actually tend to order by effort. Big, high detailed, higher effort pieces get placed first and sketchier uncolored stuff gets put at the end.
This is just my 'tism but as much as practical, I like to also like to group them up by subject if I can too. Here's my gallery for another site of mine so you can see what I mean [https://keltokel.neocities.org/gallery.html].
i dont mind art not being chronological, put at the same time would like to be able to easily see if its gotten updated/ which ones are the newest ones.
I'm also trying to design my art page and I at least know I like when i can see alot of the art at once in their original aspect ratios and easily browse through (like the hover over to see full image design) rather than clicking and opening each one to see it fully.
I kind of do prefer chronological, in way. I suppose it's just because it makes it easier to look back and find an artist's earlier work. So, it's not only easy for the viewer but the artist I believe, if looking back and/or finding their earlier work is something you often do. :0c
thanks for the input, folks! n_n i may try something similar to what dinny suggested with the added feature of hovering over a thumbnail to see the full design. but i know a bit of work is going into that (i hate making thumbnails) so it may not be for a while.
