Custom sort order?

Hi,
I'd like to be able to sort my itunes library by album artist album, then track no. This so that I can use coverflow to browse my music in artist order rather then in album order
But Itunes seems to insist on sorting by album artist then album and artist. I've tried moving and removing columns but this has no effect.
Is there any way I can get Itunes to sort the library in the way that I want?
Thanks

Quote: "trouble is that now the images are renumbered in the Capture Time order, it is hard to tell what images are from what camera. can I sort by Serial Number then?"
In the mean time you might consider selecting Image Date and select the B&W photos and keyword them as such which can be easily done with a Lift & Stamp "keywords".
EDIT: what ian said and I would like to add that the column list categories are draggable so you can click drag Serial so it sits as your second column.

  • LR - Creating Custom Sort Orders in Lightroom | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

    Julieanne Kost shows the best ways to take advantage of Adobe Lightroom’s Custom Sort Order feature in this Lightroom 2 tutorial.
    http://adobe.ly/y3dj94

    This was helpful, Julieanne, however, I have one more question on custom sort order. I am trying to sort a Collection that is made up of photos from several different import files. It's a vacation collection where I have created a different file for each day of the vacation as well as by who took the photos. So i have a file for my daughter's shots, my shots, my son's, etc, to keep things organized. Now that i have selected the "best of" from each original import file, I have created a new User Collection where I am putting them all together. The problem is, my entire Collection won't sort. I want to sort them all by capture time, but LR keeps grouping them by the original file source, and only sorting by capture time within each group. Can you help?

  • Maintaining custom sort order when copying between albums

    Is there any way that you folks have discovered to maintain the custom sort order of the images in an album when copying these images into a another album? Duping the album is not an answer, as I need to collate the contents of a number of albums into one.
    I tried selecting the contents of the album that I had just done the custom sorting in, and making it into one big stack, to try to move that to keep the order. Aperture informed me that stacking only works on images from one project.
    OK, since I now know this fact about stacking, is there any good way to merge projects? I have a ton of work on the images in the individual projects, and don't want to redo anything.
    Anyway, hope you get the problem, any help will be appreciated.

    I believe the new sort order only works on the new iPods (Nano and Video)

  • Lightroom Mobile does not recognise my custom sort order

    I cannot find a way to get the Lightroom Mobile app on my iPad to recognise the custom sort order set up for the collection on my desktop. I am on the current versions of both Lightroom and Lightroom Mobile. The only sort option that appears in LR mobile is by capture time. The custom sort order is available as an option for the collection on the Abobe website but not on the mobile app.

    You can change the sort type when you touch the Capture Type-label. So tab on the "Capture Time"-label and you will see the other sort options like "Modified Date", "Custom Order" etc.
    Hope that helps.

  • Custom Sort Order (Re-ordering)?

    I understand I can't drag and drop in smart collections or in folders with sub-folders.  But I should be able to re-order photos in a normal collection by dragging and dropping.  This feature has stopped working.  Any ideas?  Thank you (LR 4.1 with Windows 7, 64 bit)

    Followup: I spoke to Andre with Aperture support. He could not confirm this, at first, using a small number of images dragged from project A to Project B. Using a larger number (99 in his case), he was able to confirm the loss of custom sort order. The Apple web site says this has been corrected for import/exports and that is also not fixed. He will refer the problem to engineering for correction in a future update.
    I suspect (have no proof) the problem relates to the way Aperture divides each download (from card or camera) to a project into separate folders. To see this, export a project and open it (show package contents). Within the project package are separate folders for each of the downloads to the project. Aperture does not consolidate the images into a single folder. It appears that when a set of images are downloaded at one time is interposed between images taken previously, the sort order is not lost when the images are moved to another project or exported as a project.
    I still would like to know if there is a work around for this.

  • Custom sort order still lost

    This was not fixed as reported by Apple with Aperture version 2. When I move custom sorted images from one project to another, or export and import a project with custom sorted images, the sort order is lost. The order after the move, or import is either in file name order or sometimes in a completly random order. This occurs on both my MacBook Pro (late 2008) and my 8 core (16GB RAM) Mac Pro.
    This makes it impossible to do efficient work in the field and export the work.

  • Custom sort order right after import

    right after an import I start culling and basic editing. From here I will rename, keyword, and proof, than I file the images in the appropriate folder. But before renaming and proofing I may need to change the order of images.
    LR does not allow you to change the order of images right after an import unless you have filed the images to a new folder..... Well I need to sort before filing.
    Hope this can be done. I think it is simple enough.

  • Frustrated and seeking help with a custom sort order...

    I created a family photo album and arranged all of the pictures in a specific order and sync'd them with my iPad, unfortunately the pictures do not stay in the custom sequence.
    I tried Batch renaming with a Custom Name and Index, but the renaming is applied to the pictures based on the date they were created and not by the way I have arranged them.
    Is there a solution to my problem?
    TIA

    I flagged fifty photos and from that selection I created an album. I went to the album and dragged the photos in to the order I wanted them to appear after selecting Manual. Each time I now choose the manual option it arranges the photos into the sequence I created.
    The problem I'm having is that when I synchronize my iPad with iTunes the photos revert back to their original sort order, which is the default date they were brought in to Aperture.
    As I said, I tried to give them new names and index numbers using a batch command AFTER I arranged them manually, which works, however the names are assigned to the photos sequentially starting with oldest photos and not to photos as I have arranged them.
    Honestly, it would be easier for me to create a slideshow using the timeline in FCP, but a video is not what I'm after.
    I hope I have answered your questions.
    TIA

  • Custom Sort Order in Dropdown list of translate values

    Peoplesoft sorts the dropdown translate values in ascending order by default. I wanted to change the sort order. For example:
    The translate values in alphabetic order are:
    Andrea
    Baluch
    Others
    Shumi
    I want this "Others" as the last value. So the drop down should display like this:
    Andrea
    Baluch
    Shumi
    Others

    From a document I had created ...
    This odd behavior of PeopleTools however can be overridden by implementing a few lines of JavaScript and PeopleCode.
    The approach is quite simple and summarized briefly as below:
    1.     Concatenate the value-description pairs of the dropdown list into a single string separated by a pipe “|” as delimiter (in case other delimiter is used the script shown below in Step 4 has
    to be accordingly modified) in the sequence in which it should be displayed on the page.
    2.     While concatenating, make sure to place the value first and then the description, these being separated by the delimiter. Example: “01|”|”January”|”02|”February” …and so on.
    3.     Pass this string as a parameter to an HTML definition through a GetHtmlText function. This HTML definition in turn will a have a JavaScript logic to resolve this delimited string into
    meaningful value-description pairs and use them to override the intended dropdown list.
    Below are the steps in detail:
    Step 1:
    Find out the html element-id for the dropdown field from the html source-code of the PeopleSoft page from the browser. In HTML, the tag for a dropdown field is <select> </select>
    The element-id is set by the id attribute of the <select> tag. This id would be used in Step 5.
    Step 2:
    Add a field of type Long Character to any work record that you may be using on your page for buttons, hyperlinks, etc.
    Step 3:
    Add an HTML-Area to the page (preferably alongside the dropdown field which needs need to be sorted). In the properties of the HTML-Area, assign the Record-field used in Step 2 above.
    Step 4:
    Create a HTML definition from the app-designer and add the below JavaScript code to it and save the definition.
    <script>
    var j=0;
    var str=new String('%bind(:2)');
    ar1=str.split("|");
    var fld = document.getElementById("%bind(:1)");
    fld.options.length = 0;
    fld.options[fld.options.length] = new Option('', '');
    while (j<ar1.length)
              fld.options[fld.options.length] = new Option(ar1[j+1], ar1[j]);                      
                    j=j+2;
    </script>
    Step 5:
    Write peoplecode on an appropriate event to generate the concatenated string of value-descriptions delimited by a pipe “|”. A pseudocode for the same is shown below. Here the HTML id for the dropdown field and the value-description string are passed as parameters to the JavaScript shown in Step 4; and JavaScript thus created after substitution of the Bind values is assigned to the value of Record.Field used in Step 2 & 3. The location of the below peoplecode may vary depending on the when the dropdown list needs to be sorted.
    Local string &strDropdownValues;
    &strDropdownValues = "1|" | "January|" | "2|" | "February|" | "3|" | "March|" | "4|" | "April|" | "5|" | "May|" | "6|" | "June";
    <Record.Field>.Value = GetHTMLText(<HTML.DPS_DROPDOWN_HTML>, "<DROPDOWN_ID>", &strDropdownValues);

  • Sort order by custom comparable logic

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to sort the records from NamedCache.entrySet() by implementing Comparable<T> in my pojo?
    Thanks,

    Thanks for your quick response.
    My requirement is to fetch objects without filter but with custom sort order and

    What will be result if implement Comparable interface in object?Hi,
    1. You can always use AlwaysFilter.INSTANCE for filtering.
    2. You can use a parallel aggregator to parallelly presort objects and also limit the number of objects you fetch.
    Implementing Comparable with the objects allows you to call entrySet(Filter, Comparator) with null for comparator. The method entrySet() without parameters or the entrySet(Filter) do not sort regardless of whether your objects implement comparable or not.

  • Sort Order issue when exporting from DRM

    The sort order hierarchy (Parent/Child) in DRM is correct, and appears in the right order. When the hierarchy gets exported, some of the nodes are out of order in HFM.
    There are shared nodes in the hierarchy. There is a Custom Sort order that is set correctly for the hierarchy in DRM.There is also a Query that was created to export nodes that does not contain the word Shared.
    Ex
    DRM
    Parent 1
    Child 2700
    Child 2701
    Appears in HFM
    Parent 1
    Child 2701
    Child 2700
    The sort order is not correct in Smartview. Why would the nodes show correctly in DRM, but export out of order, and not show correctly in HFM?
    Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

    Can you evaluate the DRM export results with the Hiearchy structure, also make sure the Default Hierarchy Sort on the Hierarchy has a value assigned to it, whether it is core or custom based on node ID, DRM should export nodes as they appear in DRM.

  • Custom Sort

    I have a wierd problem that has been causing me quite a few headaches and i think if there is a way to do a custom order by, it might get rid of this annoynce.
    I have an existing script that is five scripts unioned together. When i run the script on it's own, i get the desired result in the desired order, but when i run it through a data window in powerbuilder it is bringing back a different order and i can't figure out why. It's the exact same script.
    Anyways, i'm wondering if i can create a custom sort order by, so that i can specify what the first and second fields are and then let the rest fall as they are supposed to:
    Here is a look at my Current results:
    Equip_# - Read_Desc - Date ----------- Reading
    12345 - Consumption - 10/05/2008 - 1101.88
    12345 - Consumption - 10/05/2008 - 0000.00
    12345 - Summer Peak- 10/05/2008 - 0000.00
    12345 - Winter Peak - 10/05/2008 - 0000.00
    12345 - Radio Device - 10/05/2008 - 0000.00
    12345 - Demand ------- 10/05/2008 - 0000.00
    I need the first two fields of the table to sorted as follows and then the rest can just fall into place:
    Equip_# - Read_Desc - Date ----------- Reading
    12345 - Consumption - 10/05/2008 - 1101.88
    12345 - Demand ------- 10/05/2008 - 0000.00
    ...Doesn't matter how it sorts as long as they two come first
    Hope someone can help, cause this really just doens't make a lot of sense and i'm now just trying to get this done and get it behind me.
    thanks in advance

    Can you post the actual SQL statement you are using (or at least the skeleton structure)? You want the ORDER BY to apply to the entire result, not to one individual subquery that is getting unioned with a number of other subqueries.

  • Custom sort in Project problem

    Hello,
    I have a project of old family photo scans that I have custom sorted chronologically and on occasion the images will change from the order that I have them sorted. Any thoughts?
    Thanks - Scrags

    Personally the only times that I have seen something like this is:
    One - inside smart albums with a custom sort order and then only on occasions when the content of the smart album changed dramatically.
    Two - some sort of project/album corruption.
    Try this - make a new album inside a new project and drag the images into it (the album not the project, so they don't actually move to the new project) custom sort the images in the album, not the project and see what happens over the course of your normal workflow)

  • Custom sort wierdness

    I have an album that contains 57 stacks of images. I have been trying to manually drag the images into a 'custom sort' order while in grid view. When I try to drag a stack into either the bottom position or the next to the bottom last position the stack jumps to the second position from the top.
    I can drag images into other locations, just not the last or next to last position. Is anyone seeing this behavior?

    I've had this very problem. I took my dual 1.8 G5 to the "Studio" at the Apple store in San Francisco and they could not understand the behavior. So far only one album exhibits the behavior you describe. I've had to take a rest from working with this album (300 NEF files) because there have been so many sorting problems that I can't get the album in order.
