N9 Photo Gallery sort order - based on what?

Hello,
I am thrilled with my N9, but have one problem: I want to use the phone to keep not only photos made with it. I therefore saved extra photos in the Pictures folder. They appear in the gallery, but in a weird order, not based on either the name, EXIF date, modification date or creation date. Is there a possibility to sort them on either of these? All I want is to control the sort order. After all, it is MY gallery...
On my previous phone (N8) sorting was based on the last modification date. Also not optimal (EXIF date would have been perfect) but still controllable.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, maybe those pictures were never edited outside the phone, I don't know.
Anyway, I believe I found the explanation: I exported the photos from Picasa, maxing them to a resolution of 1600xXXX. This way all files were created... today. Nevertheless the EXIF information is correctly saved by Picasa, so Date Image Taken was preserved. Although I modified in all files the creation date to be equal to EXIF Date Image Taken (ACDSee/batch/AdjustTimeStamp) , and then also renamed all pictures based on that, the "new" creation date still remains saved somewhere in the picture files and the Gallery sorts the pictures on it! The pictures were sorted in the reversed order I exported them from Picasa... Bad.
Anyway, since this is not a request forum, it would be futile to say (again) that Nokia should use the EXIF Date Picture Taken for picture sorting. So I don't say it (!).

  • MobileMe Gallery sort order

    When i access my MobileMe Gallery through my MacBook Air using Firefox, the sort order of the albums, and the sort order of the photos within the albums are correctly sorted just the way I want them.
    However when I use ATV 2 to view my MobileMe Gallery on TV, the albums and the photos within the albums are not in the same sort order as seeing the Gallery with my computer. Any help is appreciated!

    I have noticed the same thing. I have MobileMe albums set to sort by date in iPhoto, the photos are sorted by date when I view the album on various computers, including Windows PCs, they are sorted by date in the Gallery app on my iPhone, but when I look at them via Apple TV 2 over the Internet they are randomized. I have tried everything including deleting and re-uploading the albums and nothing has worked. I am hoping it is some glitch that will be fixed in the next iOS update. For me at least, it seems Apple TV gets them right if the album is really small, say less than 20 pics or so, but as soon as it gets any bigger the photos are randomized.

  • 'All Photos' Album Sorting Order

    I have 16.683 photos appearing under 'photos'. 16.853 under the Album 'All photos' and the order is not chronological (i.e.: sometimes a pic from 2009 is among those taken in 2013). Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    On my system at least, All Photos shows the most recent photos at the bottom, not the top.
    Sorry, yes, they are also sorted ascending. Must have been wishful thinking on my part.
    But at least the most recently imported moments are more or less isolated at one end of the album and can be accessed there without searching for them.
    If we only can sort by capture date, we have to know the capture date to find recently imported old photos.
    But I just noticed, that Photos seems to remember, how an album has been scrolled. If I close Photos with the Moments scrolled all the way down, it will open them again scrolled to the most recent moment. And I do not have to click the scholar to get there.
    While that order does indeed reflect the date & time when I import new photos from my iPhone, with the last imported ones at the bottom of the window, for the photos migrated from my iPhoto library during the initial setup of Photos, the order seems random -- it is definitely not the order those photos were added to iPhoto, nor are they sorted by the date the photo was taken, or by any other date-related criteria I can determine.
    This has been the case which other major upgrades of iPhoto or Aperture.
    The Masters folder is organized by the date of the Import session, and all older  imports to iPhoto and Aperture are now showing the import session 2010, when I upgraded iPhoto to the iLife '11 version. It looks like the Import season date may be discarded, when a library is rebuild for an upgrade or a migration.
    I've seen similar with itunes. I like to listen to the music sorted by the date added, the most recent items first, but it happened several times, that all all songs were showing a changed "date added".

  • .Mac Gallery sort order

    Is there any way to influence the sort order of my galleries posted on .Mac? It seems the last one published is shown first, but I'd like to get them in chronological order.
    Thanks.

    Bummer. I submitted the request.
    From my perspective, by trying to make the iLife apps drop dead simple, they are limiting them too much. I think it would be possible to make them as easy but also add additional features that are initially hidden.

  • Photo sort order is wrong on my ipad

    The sort order is fine on my mac mini, but it's not on my ipad ipod touch or my iphone, the photos don't have the correct sequence, they're all messed up...

    Sort order where? What verson of iPhoto are you running on your Mac?  I understand that the sort order on a phone or iPad is strictly date related and in iPhoto's albums they can be manually, by title, etc.

  • Sort order of alphanumeric file names in Finder

    File Name Sorting
    I often using dates for file names - for letters and for photos in particular, with a format something like yymmdd, e.g., today's date, December 27, would be 071227. Occasionally I may use 20071227. If I have the year and month but do not have a specific date, the file name might look like 0712xx. The sort sequence of files in the various Finder views does not seem to be what I would expect, based on standard computer alphanumeric sorting rules. Here is what I am finding - three files beginning with file names 0708xx, 070212 and 070521 will appear in the Finder list as follows:
    0708xx
    070212
    070521
    whereas I would expect the proper sort order to be:
    070212
    070521
    0708xx
    If I change "xx" to "00" then the sort order is strictly numerical, i.e.,
    070212
    070521
    070800
    No one can explain why the files sort per the first list above, if I use the "xx" convention for the date. Is there a Leopard bug, or is the sort order based on an algorithm I am unfamiliar with.

    Tom's comprehensive article provides the answer but is perhaps a bit much for those looking for a simple, easy to remember rule. The brief one at File System Overview: Sorting Rules may be useful in this respect:
    "Digit sub-strings are sorted by numeric value rather than as characters."
    IOW, much like a human would naturally do, the Finder considers numeric expressions as potentially multi-character entities.
    Except ... just like humans, it seems not to know what to do with leading zeros. Try this:
    Create a new folder & add to it 4 sub-folders named as follows (all "0" characters are zeros):
    2
    2aa
    02
    02aa
    Note that in list view, Leopard sorts them by name as follows:
    02
    2
    02aa
    2aa
    But, try selecting them in order by hitting the tab key repeatedly, which should move you down the list one item after the other ... but doesn't.

  • Sorting order for Highlights, Shadows, Whites and Blacks controls.

    I absolutely love the new set of controls as compared to the similar options in LR3.  With just these 6 controls and a few seconds I can get my image looking great.  One thing is making me crazy though, the four controls are logically sorted "Whites, Highlights, Shadows, Blacks" in terms of the range that they impact.  If the controsl were sorted as I suggested, I would be able to think through the problem of fixing a particular image more efficiently.
    Has this been discussed or considered?

    tomalphin wrote:
    I should add, with only four items in question, putting the two you are most likely to use slightly closer together will result in little gained efficiency.  Having them sorted in a manner that is easier to teach, learn and internalize will likely lead to better results for a larger percentage of users. 
    Further, if they were sorted in the manner I suggest, it would be possible to further strengthen the understanding of how the features work by showing a color curve overlay on the histogram.  This would make it even easier for folks to understand how these six abstract controls affect the image.
    It sounds like there is a mix of rational and reactive pushback to this approach from the vocal audience on this forum.  I would be very interested to see how the two compared in blind lab studies with participants of comparable experience.  (Including new  and existing users... I would like to think that Adobe is saavy enough to realize that it is important to court new users if they want to grow their customer base and profit opportunity.)
    If there's one thing we can pull from this whole discussion, it's that there's no way for Adobe to make everyone happy on this issue.  There just isn't.  Some people absolutely hate that the sliders are ordered as the are in LR4b, others seem to think it makes perfect sense.  Both are adamant in their stance.  So now it becomes this whole over-blown issue of," What percentage of users like it this way compared to that way."  I'm sorry, but I just don't understand why it's such a big deal.  Is it that hard to use the controls in the order that Adobe placed them in LR4b.  Really?  Is it?  Is it really that slow for you high-volume photographers out there?  Is it really something that you won't completely get used to in all of a few hours of using LR4?
    The current sort order of the sliders in LR4b is not necessarily just an order-of-operations that is being thrust upon Lightroom users.  The rationale is that the controls follow an order which, in most cases for most photographs, flows from the most global adjustments to the most specific.  It's more than just an arbitrary ordering based on "what Adobe says we ought to do first".
    The truth is, while I understand Adobe's reasoning here, I really don't care what order the sliders end up in.  Why?  Because it really doesn't matter all that much, at all.  I mean, think about it.  Let's say that the current order of the sliders in LR4b makes it to the final version.  Are users going to keep using Lightroom 3 in protest?  No.  Are users going to keep all their photos in PV2010 expressly because they simply can't handle the order of the sliders in PV2012?  No.  The reason that nobody will go to such lengths is that it's reallly just not that important.  This is an exceptionally minor issue of personal preference that has less weight and importance than the hard drive space at Adobe used to store all of the threads that have popped up in complaint of the slider order.
    I know that everyone vehemently arguing against the current slider order will whole-heartedly disagree... but I simply had to put in my two-cents.  The issue of slider order is so miniscule that I cannot fathom why so much has already been written about it.
    EDIT*****
    An afterthought...
    Really?  "Blind lab studies" to scientifically determine what order to put LR4 sliders in?  C'mon guys... you've got to be kidding me...

  • IOS8 Photos not showing photos in chronological order

    Photos App not showing photos in chronological order!!
    what gives apple?!  I take a picture, go to Photos and since theres no more camera roll, I'm forced to go into Photos Tab, and when I select "Collections", I see the tiny thumbs of all my pictures sorted which look fine in chronological order, But when select to go down to the next level of viewing (Moments), the dates are all over the place!  When I scroll all the way down, I should technically be at the most recent of my pictures taken. Its not, it shows Aug26. Then one above that Aug 21 Then next few are in Aug; mind you we are in September. Then theres Jun 25. THEN finally some recent photos of Sept 26 and 15!!! THEN the next one is MAY 31.
    So trying to find my most recent photos taken is painstakingly tough.

    Check this thread out. I have mobileme, but this solution worked, perhaps you could try something similar for your Gmail account...

  • How to hold several photos in the "order print" function of iPhoto?  I only get one at a time.

    I cannot get more than one photo to appear in the "order prints" section of iPhoto at a time.  How do I move several photos over to order prints?

    What is your iPhoto verstion? Assuming you are having the latest version on your new mac, it should work like this:
    Select all photos at once in the event or album.
    With the photos selected, use the command "File > Order Prints" from the main menu bar.
    What happens, when you try that?

  • Embed Web Photo Gallery in ASPX

    I've been trying to embed a generate Web Photo Gallery (default Flash based one) into an ASPX web page using LR3.2. I actually have a Master Template setup. I realize that the generated code is intended to be used as a stand-alone HTML web page. Has anyone had much luck embedding content from the generated Web Photo Gallery into an existing webpage. Any tips or samples would be appreciated.

    Thanks John. I was able to get things up and running via iframes. Now, if I could figure out a way to remove the header they use on top of the Flash templates to get some extra room, that would be great .
    I think the existing templates are good, but I hope they add more refinements down the road.

  • Photo Gallery combined with three column CSS

    Hi, I am trying to implement your photo gallery into our
    school site and I am having trouble with the layout. I am using a

    photo gallery inside of this. What happens is when you pull up the

    until you resize the browser window (ever so slightly). Help, have
    been staring at CSS and JS code now for about a month and cannot
    get it to behave, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Your Google ads are in an iframe. This rule will get you
    started
    iframe {
    height: 2em !important;
    position: absolute;
    top: 650px;
    You can leave the position static if you like, and it will
    move up and
    down with your images - I found that a bit distracting,
    though. If you
    leave it static, use a top-margin to establish space between
    your image
    and the ads.
    The !important notation is required for the height,
    indicating either a
    conflict somewhere in your markup or CSS, or poor Google code
    (not
    uncommon).

  • The image color in Windows Photo Gallery is wrong, same image in other program color is correct.

     This is the correct color form Google Image:
    This is the color from Windows Photo Gallery:
      It looks like it is a issue of Windows Photo Gallery bcause if the same image is opened in another program(Photoshop, paint, etc), the color stays same, the thumbnail color is correct as well. However, it is different in Windows Photo Gallery.
    Does anyone know what the problem is?
    Thanks.

    Windows photo gallery is not colour profile aware, so assumes your monitor is sRGB.  The same is true of the desktop wallpaper.  There is nothing you can do about this, other than use a different default picture viewing application as default, or convert your images to the ICC profile of your monitor (which you can do in photoshop).  I would only recommend this for wallpapers though.

  • Sort order issue in with Evaluate function ( Next Quarter measure)

    Hi All,
    I have report requirement where I have to show measures for a particular geography for previous, current and next quarters in a pivotal view.
    ---------------Previous Quarter| Current Quarter|     Next Quarter
    Geography               
    ABC|xx|xx|xx
    PQR|xx|xx|xx
    XYZ|xx|xx|xx
    Next quarter values are displayed for other geography like
    ABC value is shown for XYZ and XYZ value is shown for PQR
    I have derived measure for pervious quarter using Time Series Function > Ago function,
    However the problem is with next quarter. I used following Evaluate Function to derive measure for next quarter.
    EVALUATE ('LEAD(%1,1) over (order by %2)' AS DOUBLE PRECISION , X, Y)
    Here X = Measure and Y = Level (Quarter)
    X is delta of two other measures A and B.
    X = (A- B)
    Thanks,

    Hi user10300020,
    That's a fairly common problem with months that happens regardless of database source.
    In the logical layer of OBIEE you can specify the sort order on the month name column. Just double click on the month name column and look for the option to set sort order based on a different column. I typically sort the month name based on the month number.
    Give that a shot and tell me if it works.
