Can't sort albums in a folder

I keep my photos organized by creating folders for each year. If I click on the 2010 folder, I can see that all of the photos sorted chronologically, from top to bottom.
Because I don't want to carry my entire photo library on my iPad, I also drag events into the 2010 folder and manually sync them with the iPad.
Here's my problem: When I drag an albums into the 2010 folder, they seem to have no logical sort order. They don't list alphabetically by event name, and they don't sort chronologically by date; there's no predicting where they'll show up in the list. Clicking on "Sort Albums" does noting as far as I can tell.
Is it possible to get albums in a folder to sort, and if so, how do I do it?

You need to grant EXECUTE privilege on all those application components to PUBLIC user. You can do this by clicking on the "Grant Access" link pertaining to each of the components in the navigator and granting execute privilege on the components to the public user.
This will work.

How can I sort files in a folder by name?

How can I sort files in a folder by name? iFS first sort files that starts with upper-case letter and then files with lower-case letter.
Like:
A_file
B_file
a_file
b_file
I want:
A-file
a_file
B_file
b_file
This doesn't help:
String[] sort_attributes = {"NAME"};
boolean [] sort_orders = {true};
SortSpecification sort = new SortSpecification(sort_attributes, sort_orders);
currentFolder.setSortSpecification(sort);

I do not think there is a way to do that without add-ons
There are a couple of workarounds I am aware of
* Add the bookmarks manually in the bookmarks library and choose the position. That is using Show all bookmarks -> open required folder -> select a position and right click -> add new bookmark Rather a slow and clumsy process
* Sort a folder and copy it. If you sort the folder contents then copy and paste them they remain in that order when pasted.
There are add-ons but I have not tried them. For example
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/simplesort-bookmarks/
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/auto-sort-bookmarks/
There will be others available and take note of the advice to backup bookmarks manaully.

How can I sort albums in a genre by release date in the itunes store

How can I sort albums in a genre by release date in the itunes store

Did you figure this out? Am having the same problem.
EDIT:
Found the group in store (in this case Juana Molina) It said music -> alternative
Changed to column view, and could not find the artist at all in any of the sub categories.
iTunes is really the biggest pain in the .... and has gotten worse over the years.

How can I sort albums by album artist while keeping compilations together?

Argh, I'm getting a bit exasperated. Basically I just want to be able to scroll through cover flow and see all my albums with one cover representing each album, with all the compilations near the end under "V" for various. Surely most people would want to scroll through their albums in this way??
So I've gone through and added all the album artist info, which has worked fine for the artist albums. But for all the "Various" ones, instead of doing the logical thing and grouping them together by album, iTunes orders these all by track artist. There doesn't seem to be any secondary sort function..
I'm always defending Mac and Apple products for their logical applications and ease of use, and now I feel let down.. If there's a way around this please let me know! Thanks,
Malinna

The trouble you're encountering is that iTunes sorts first by Album Artist, then by Artist. Thus, within each Album Artist, you'll get multiple Artist clumps.
You want to sort "Album by Artist". This will, first, strip out all your compilations and sort them to the end of your library, then sort using the hierarchy Album Artist (or Artist if there is none) > Album > Disc # > Track #. Click the Album column header until Album by Artist is displayed. (You can also choose Album by Year, which will sort albums chronologically within Album Artist.)
If you want to keep albums together, you'll need to sort on an Album column; other columns are bound to clump things by whatever you're sorting on.

How can I sort bookmarks in plain folder?

any way to simply gain access to the bookmarks in a plain windows folder so I can sort them in a manner that makes sense to me just like I used to do with Internet Explorer instead of having to learn this whole miserable procedure?

no I surely wouldn't want to sort them by editing a text file, but here I can't even see everything at once, and it is only a rolldown menu which disappears if I click on anything else. The help for the library says there is a bug so that I cant permanently sort things in there, and anyway, I can only see half or one third of the whole mess at a time, even in the library file, because I cant spread it to multiple columns, only one as high as my screen. Maybe I can export it all to Internet Explorer, sort it there, and re-import it to Firefox? In IE I will simply have normal folders and shortcut files, nice and simple. Is there a procedure for doing that described somewhere? Or is there an add-on for firefox that it can be exported to and re-imported from for sorting?

How can I sort albums on ipad in A-Z order ?

I have 200 albums in my iPad. They are multiple pictures of individual cars. I have them titled by year and make. Is there a way to sort them by title instead of moving them around by hand?

I believe that albums are sorted by the creation date. I don't think that you can change this in the Photos App.

How can you sort albums in coverflow by category??

My cover flow shows over 200 albums alphabetized by artists.
Is there any way to have coverflow sorted to display the albums sorted by
categories and within categories by artists?
Example-I have three categories of albums
classical
jazz
rock
I'd like to have coverflow display all the classical albums first
then followed by jazz category, and by rock category
Thanks for your help!

I would also be interested in sorting options, and also displaying different fields under the coverflow picture.
Standards seems to be
- Album
- Album Artist
Can his b changed to different options?
Thanks

Can you sort albums by release date, rather than year, in album view?

I love the new album view in iTunes 11, but the only problem I have with it is sometimes albums are in the wrong order.
For example, last year Green Day released a trilogy of albums called ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré! but since they were released in the same year, they're ordered as ¡Dos!, ¡Tré, ¡Uno! when sorted by artist and then year which really doesn't sit right with me.
In short, the sorting options for albums view are very limited, is there any way to extend them?
Also I'm aware that I could, as a cheap fix, change the sorting in album to the release date backwards, but I'd rather not do that as it would make it a bit more troublesome for me to navigate my albums on my iPhone.
Thanks!

I agree that Apple should improve the year field to be an actual date.
I am not 100% happy doing this, but when you have multiple albums from a single artist for the same release year, a temporary solution is to chage the album title by adding an outline type letter before album titles for that year, so that they appear in the correct order:
David Bowie
1977
a. Low
David Bowie
1977
b. "Heroes"
etc
This could help in the short term until Apple changes that field.

Can I sort album by year in iTunes 11?

Specifically, when I'm viewing my music in "Artist" view (with the artist list on the left, albums on right), is there a way to set the albums to sort by year rather than alphabetically?

Thanks! Why in the world this isn't the default setting is beyond me though. No one who has had vinyl or CD's files by 'name of album'. (at least no one i've ever known!)

How can I sort bookmarks within a folder by date such that this is apllied not only in the library but also on the toolbar?

Hello,
I have several folders on my firefox toolbar which I use to sort new bookmarks by topic. If I add a new bookmark to a folder it is alwas placed at the bottom (below existing bookmarks) which is somewhat annoying with a increasing number of bookmarks. I would like to have the bookmarks recently added at the top of the folder (above existing bookmarks).
It's no problem to sort them this way within the library. But back at the toolbar everthing remains the same. The only option that seems to work here ist 'sort by name'.
Is there any way to sort the bookmarks by 'date added' such that new bookmarks are placed on top and this is applied also outside the library?
I hope you get my problem!
Thanks!

How can I sort the Pictures in an Album by Name?

I am updated my Photo App on OSX 10.10.2. All my Albums are imported fine, but how I can sort the Pictures in one Album by name? I just found the option for the Albums.

Currently you can sort regular albums manually or by date; Smart Albums only by date; see How can you sort Album or Smart Album photos?

How can I sort the paragraphs in the New or Edit Cross-Reference dialog?

I've got a document with over 100 figures, all are cross-referenced. When I create a new cross-reference I select the paragraph style on the left of the dialog, then the paragraph for the cross-reference. The paragraphs on the right side are not completely sorted. Is there a way that I can keep these sorted.Fortunately, all the figures are numbered which makes it a bit easier. When I use a non-numbered paragraph, it can be challenging. The fact that the list (on my monitor) is really tiny doesn't make it easier.

Sorting via the Views menu in the Library only shows the bookmarks in the chosen sort order and doesn't change them permanently (hence the Views name of that menu). 
Clicking on the header does the same. 
If you want to sort bookmarks then you need to right-click a folder and use "Sort By Name" to sort that folder. 
You can't sort individual bookmarks, only folder can be sorted that way.
