Retain A Collection's Manual Sort Order ?
Why is this forum so difficult to use ?
I have a question that I cannot search for, and which deletes my search text when it heads into this posting. This makes no sense to me, since I'm sure the problem I have was covered ages ago.
The simple 21 image CS5 Bridge collection I created does not sort manually in the order that the images were added to the collection.
Neither does the Output panel retain my individually selected order.
Is there some secret to retaining either a collection's orginal creation order, or a selection's order so I can use this to output to a PDF in the order as I intended ?
Hi there,
I tired to reply on forums.adobe.com/message/4225665, but it was "readonly". Same issue here...
it's Tobi from Germany, using Bridge CS4. I had the same problem, Bridge not saving the order of images. I got it solved by detecting that the problem always occured when i used Germanic umlaut for the collections title names. maybe you should check your spelling too and only use "english" characters.
in
C:Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\Bridge CS4
you have two important folders:
/Collections
/UserSort
and in /UserSort you only should have exactly one more file than in /Collections. In my case by using Germanic umlaut i had like some hundred more. Then you should check UserSort/index.xml. Open it using your prefered editor (like Notepad++) and check the spelling of your collections paths.
In order to exchange your collections with other users or devices you should always copy both folder, "Collections" and "UserSort" and in UserSort/index.html you should adjust the paths, changing the user directory.
Or, Adobe wakes up and adds an export/import-feature to Bridge and solves the character-issue!

Any way to Restore Last Manual Sort Order or Prevent from being Overwritten accidentally?
Help!
I'm constantly accidentally overwriting painstakingly created manual sort ordering (sometimes hours but more often months of accumulated work) in folders with files numbering up to 1,000, when i, however breifly, switch to another sort ordering (size, date modified etc) to check something, immediately forget that i'm in another sort order, and, unthinkingly (actually i guess i'm thinking of a lot of other things) drag a file to another position, this immediately destroys any past manual sorting i've established, overwriting it with this new inadvertent manual ordering.
I've tried CommandZ (edit undo) but that only undoes my last rating or labeling, i've rushed to force quit Bridge through the activity montior hoping i will catch it before its overwritten, but obviously i am not as fast as a computer, and i don't think this has ever worked.
Is there any way or any script someone has written to formally save a manual sort order? Is there anything i've missed to attempt restoring it? Has anyone, repeatedly foiled by this, written something that would give a warning and require confirmation say for instance, if i tried to drag or move a file while in another sort ordering (this seems like something that should have existed the minute the opportunity was given to create manual organization). Would anyone be willing to?
Seriously, me forgetting almost every time isn't going to change and, more vexingly, it's even happened when i didn't mean to move anything but fumbled momentarily while in another sort order. I think most people might forget because (in the context of computing) we are conditioned to expect a warning if something we have just created is about to be written over or discarded, and since there is no option to formally save a manual ordering we have just created.
Also, if this was in the real world, moving a single file would not reshuffle everything on your desk. If i had the option to formally save a manual organization i would NOT forget to do this and would use it, as i've wished for one every time spent a while rearranging files. Knowing how easily all the hours (much less months and years of cumulative work) of organizational work can be accidentally lost makes working within Bridge unpleasantly anxious.
I'm literally willing to do anything including installing some sketchy 3rd-part scripts (though honestly i have no idea what that means or how to do it). I extentively use and rely heavily upon this function so this is a fairly serious Achille's heel. It's like watching your incredibly important meticulously constructed house of cards collapse with a careless but innocent sigh, or like having the equivelent of a not even charming cat dance across your keyboard during a live concert, etc etc....
Also it is not usually appropriate, given the context, to batch rename everything to preserve a manual ordering w sequence numbers, etc. Often the filenames are considerably (but necessarily, to connote important differences) long already, and when i have to rearrange things in the future would have to do that each time, etc, etc, making for even more unwieldly filenames that didn't have any substantive information at the beginning. I'm looking for a way to make this function (manual sort ordering), well, more functional, secure and stable, the workarounds i've considered cause too many additonal problems.
Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to offer, and as this is my first attempt to use the forums as i live on a boat with no regular net access, would appreciate any forum etiquette corrections, and advance apologies for any misspellings, dyslexic and spellcheck does not seem to work in this interface. next time will edit in external wordprocessing program beforehand,

PS i'm on a 27" mac w CS4 Design Premium, w up to the minute OS (10.6.8) and Adobe software updates installed recently (i do not often move the monster but this week was housesitting w net access, so she has had all recommended shots and vaccinations....)
PPS I know most of y'all might be running the newest and the latest of everything, but, i'm fairly certain this is still a problem in recent versions as this has happened to me at school where all the macs are running cs5. Though if it's been addressed somehow in cs6 would update entire suite just to fix this one problem in Bridge. I've tried many searches and found nothing relevant or wouldn't bother the considerable expertise and resources of an official forum, was extremely hesitant to ask (feared getting snapped at for unwittingly broaching forum etiquette) but it is truly the bane of my considerable Bridge existence, so was willing to risk the imaginary censure and opprobrium....
Message was edited by: PECourtejoieThat is a good question, to do this requires two functions and a restart of Bridge all done automagically
Copy and paste the script into ExtendScript Toolkit
This gets installed with Photoshop and can be found:-
PC: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities
MAC: <hard drive>/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities
Start Bridge
PC: Edit - Preferences - Startup Scripts
Mac: Adobe Bridge menu - Preferences - Startup Scripts
At the bottom click the "Reveal Button" this will open the folder where the script should be saved.
Close and restart Bridge.
Accept the new script.
To use:
Tools - Backup Manual Sort
This will backup the hidden manual sort file .BridgeSort to .BridgeSortSave
Tools - Restore Manual Sort
This will copy the .BridgeSortSave back to .BridgeSort and will close and restart Bridge so that the manual sort is restored.
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
var backUpManSort = new MenuElement( "command","Backup Manual Sort", "at the end of Tools" , "backupms" );
var RestoreManSort = new MenuElement( "command","Restore Manual Sort", "at the end of Tools" , "restorems" );
backUpManSort.onSelect = function () {
var fileSort = new File(app.document.presentationPath +"/.BridgeSort");
var fileSave = new File(app.document.presentationPath +"/.BridgeSortSave");
if(fileSave.exists) fileSave.remove();
fileSort.copy(fileSave);
fileSave.hidden=true;
RestoreManSort.onSelect = function () {
var fileSort = new File(app.document.presentationPath +"/.BridgeSort");
var fileSave = new File(app.document.presentationPath +"/.BridgeSortSave");
if(!fileSave.exists){
alert("No backup file exists");
return;
app.document.sorts = [{ type:"string",name:"document-kind", reverse:false }];
if(fileSort.exists) fileSort.remove();
fileSave.copy(fileSort);
fileSort.hidden=true;
app.document.chooseMenuItem("mondo/command/new");
app.documents[0].close();
app.document.sorts = [{ name:"user",type:"date", reverse:false }];
Hope this works for you. -

Bridge does not keep the manual sort order
I've tried everything I know but I cannot get Bridge to keep the manual sort order (iMac, 10.6, CS4). What is the file responsible for keeping the sort order? Perhaps removing it would help. This is really frustrating. It would be so important to keep related pictures together for estimating all the aspects.
This is action script 3.0 Flash CS3
Below is what I receive back after I test it but it is not in
order. I guess I assumed that if the tab order is correct and the
are layout in that order and the code in the form is in order it
would come back the same way. Mostly I am trying to narrow down the
problem and my guess is the cgi script or am I wrong? I have
attached the code for the form.
Thank You for you time

Why is manual sort order disabled in album view
I created an album and added pictures. By default, the photos are displayed in sort order by date. I'd like to manually order them. However, when I select the sort order drop down box, the option to manually order the photos is disabled. How can I enable it or why is it disabled.
It is not available because you have yet to create a manual sort for that Album, and so there is no "Manual Sort" available. Create a manual sort manually (re-arrange the photos). Then the "Manual Sort" menu choice should become available.
The menu switches between the existing sorts.
I didn't design it. This makes sense to engineers, but not so much to users. Any time you manually re-arrange your images, the sort is automatically changed to "Manual". Aperture remembers the last manual sort; it is always available via the sort selector. -
How do I retain the default 3 column sort order in a standard report
I have a standard (not interactive) report of about 12 columns in which I set column 1 as the primary sort, column 2 as the second sort within that and column 3 as another sort within 1&2. I have also made other columns sortable by the user. However, once a sort is done by the user on one of the other columns, the default sort order never seems to come back, even if the application is closed. Is there something I need to set?
Standard report sort columns are stored persistently as user preferences. The <tt>apex_util.remove_sort_preferences</tt> method can be used to remove them, resetting reports to the default sort order. However this is not a precision instrument: it removes the user's sort preferences for all reports...
It is possible to remove the sort preference for individual reports using the <tt>apex_util.remove_preference</tt> method by reverse engineering the required sort preference name from the admin user preference report, but I wouldn't recommend it. I recently worked on an application where this had been done for one report, but we removed this "feature" as: (1) no one could remember why it had been done in the first place; (2) it was completely inconsistent with the behaviour of the other app reports; (3) the implementation was Byzantine (get non-obvious pref value and have page re-request itself with additional parameters) and lead to (4) poor page performance.
Unless users are jumping up and down demanding this I'd stick to the status quo...

Creating a manual sort order for images in LR?
So I have been using LR for a few weeks now, and generally once I am done editing and processing, I amend the order of the images by manually dragging the images about in either library or develop mode. I find sorting them into like groups makes it easier for others to look through them. Now, suddunly, LR is letting me 'drag' amd image, but it wont 'drop' it in the desired spot.
I feel like I must have accidently pushed some strange button...but I can't figure out where?Hey! I solved my own question! In case anyone else is stumped, here is the answer:
There seem to be two issued LR is picky about:
1. You need to select the image, not the surrounding grey 'slide mount' area.
2. Near as I can figure, it wasnt letting me sort because I was in 'previous import', under catalogue. When I selected the 'date' of the image under 'folder' it worked! -
Losing manual sort in Bridge collections
I installed the latest version of Bridge CC and created several collections. Each collection contains between 10 and 60 images which are all taken from the same Windows directory. The directory contains less than 300 image files. I did this in two sessions. In the first, I created 3 collections and in the second, I created 5 more. Each collection was manually sorted after all the images were added. No additional images were added after the manual sort.
After restarting Windows and opening Bridge CC again, some collections were still manually sorted and some were sorted by filename. All the collections are still showing as manual sort. Can't figure out why some are OK but others are in filename order even though it shows manual sort.
I'm running on Window 8 Pro and have InDesign installed as well. Bridge is not set to start at login.
Now, the only thing I can think of is that when I updated InDesign in Adobe CC this morning, that something may have affected Bridge. But then I would have expected all the collections to revert to filename order and not just some.
Is there a secret to keeping the manual sort in Bridge collections intact? It's not much use to me if it won't. I sort images in the order I want to insert them in book pages.
I checked other threads on this subject but it doesn't look like anything was resolved.
ThanksDUUUUUUUDE! IT'S WORKING NOW!!!!
When you originally asked, "What happens if you click on an image and move it to another folder?", I didn't really understand what you were talking about because I almost never have my workspace set up in a way that the folders are showing. I always hide them. So I didn't really understand what you were saying. Just a few minutes ago, I realized that that is what you were asking so I opened up the folder area and tried dragging thumbs into different folders and saw that it does work.
So then, because of you mentioning that blue line and me know that I did see the blue line on occasion. I went back over into the thumbnails to find out if I always got the blue line or if it was a hit or miss thing. I couldn't believe my eyes when all of the sudden I saw that I no longer was getting that circle with the line through it, and low and behold, the thumbnail dropped right into position like it is supposed to!!!!
The thing is, I don't know what I've learned from this. I thought, "well, what is different?" The only thing that I can think of is that I now have the folders showing in my workspace so I wondered if that was the secret but I just now hid the folders again like I usually do and the drag and drop into position is STILL WORKING!!!
All I can figure is that somehow, dragging and dropping a thumbnail into a folder like that for the first time, triggered something so that I can now drag and drop among the thumbnail positions? Not sure. All I know is that for some reason, IT'S WORKING NOW!
Now, for the second important part, I wonder if I drag and drop everything into the order that I want and then select all of the files and drag them into a new folder, will they stay in that order? I need to go experiment with that.
If you hadn't kept at it and in turn had me keep trying stuff, it would have never happened because I had pretty much given up.
Thanks Curt!

Batch of files manually sorted in Bridge - Can I run a PS Action in that manual order?
For some jobs my workflow ideally involves manually sorting the order of a batch of RAW files in Bridge (the RAW file names are as assigned by the camera) and then using a PS Action from Bridge to convert, save, and rename the batch of files. I want to end up with my image files sequentially numbered in the manually sorted order.
However, my PS Action automatically processes the files in ascending order of their RAW file names and therefore my manually assigned file order in Bridge is lost.
Is there a script (or other method) which will allow me to run a PS action from Bridge on a batch of files while keeping the manually sorted order for the purposes of the numbering sequence of the renamed output files?
My current workaround is to Batch Rename in Bridge a copied set of RAW files as an intermediate step to running my PS Action on the renamed RAW file copies. It's not a bad workaround but if there is an easier way, I would much appreciate knowing about it!
GeoffGeoff, here is an example that works for me. When I test ran the sample script based on some stuff that I do the files are process in the order of the manual sort and only the files in my selection are processed folders etc are ignored… I have NO idea how much people charge for this sort of thing I only do it for the learning process. If you can let me know what the Photoshop process is and your OS I 'may' be able to help but I make NO promises as Im still very much the learner with this stuff…
You can give this a test if you like…

Photoshop CS3 web gallery bugs(?); vanishing metadata, bad sort order
Running OS 1.5.4 on 24" Imac, I'm attempting to generate a "horizontal slideshow" from bridge-selected files in Photoshop CS3.
[Sounded like the problem in this post: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5a9fe/2 but on re-reading I've decided it's different so I'm giving it it's own thread, with more detail...]
Here's my experience:
1) Description and title show up for a second on the first slide, then revert to just the blank template on that and all subsequent slides (title: [blank] description: [blank]....
Hitting "refresh" produces the descriptive metadata for a tantalizing moment, then it' s back to the blank template for this and all subsequent slides. It does this both for Safari and Firefox.
You can view this behavior in a slideshow at http://oasisdesign.net/projects/earthtoilet/
If it asks for a password, use---
user:earthling
pass: draf1 )
"preserve all metadata" is checked.
I've tried all combinations of checking/ unchecking "title, description, filename" for labeling...also, making slideshows with just one or two slides to reduce the chance that it's a weird character issue of the type some other folks have experienced...
2) additionally, the web gallery is not respecting the manual sort order in Bridge, which is the source of the files. The help files say the slideshow should follow the manual sort order in Bridge.
3) Finally, metadata entered in bridge metadata tab sometimes vanishes, sometimes metadata entered in file info wouldn't show in the metadata tab.
Thanks for your help!!

http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bff9de1/0
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bd62ec3/0OK...here's the hack I used to get around what I'm now totally convinced are program bugs and shortcomings relative to advertised functionality, for anyone else who has to deal with this, followed by my (suggested fixes to Adobe)...
1) Sort everything the way you want in bridge.
2) Make meta descriptions w/o weird characters (a warning here would be helpful)
3) Use "batch rename," with "copy to another folder" to give the images totally plain vanilla, DOS-style file names (001.jpg, 002.jpg...). This solves most filename issues and the works around web gallery's failure to recognize bridge sort order in one go. Note that you can irrevocably screw up the names of all your original files if you're not very careful to COPY at this step.
([a] make the bridge sort work directly, as advertised, por favor. [b] add an error message or warning about file names such as 006-(2).jpg causing malfunction. A compassionate, low-effort short-term patch for Mac users of web gallery, especially since bridge generates that particular sort name itself invisibly and automatically if you move a file with the same name into a folder)
4) Use "white on black" instead of bug-ridden "horizontal slideshow" (horizontal slideshow should be fixed or deleted from the next version...multiple slideshow options would be awesome, as they advance automatically at the max rate the user's bandwidth allows, a very attractive feature)
5) Restrict all images to the same height so users can click *in the same spot* to advance the 200 images with less carpal tunnel (the advance arrow should *always* be in the same spot, for every web gallery, IMHO)
Web galleries are a fantastic tool for sharing information easily...I hope to see some evolution in those great automatic updates someday... -

Get photos on iPad in same sort order as in Aperture
Have newest, latest OS, iOS, and Aperure and Apps on my iPad ... all current.
When I setup photos in a album in Aperture then sync the album to my iPad using iTunes to the Photos App, the images are sometimes
several inages are placed in a different order in Photos than they are in Aperture
Viewing them and setting up slide shows is uselees if I am not able to conrol the order I desire.
I need to kow how to have them apper on the iPad "my way" if that is possible.
In my work flow, images in Aperture are sorted by date, then a few recent edits that strip the original date are manually placed where they
belong. So far it has never been the ones moved that leave the desired sort order. However, moving a couple of photos in the Aperture
Album changes the sort selection from Date to Manual sort order. Have no idea if this contributes to the problem. I would just like
the images to reamain as established in Aperture.
Help would be greatly appreciatedHi,
Thanks for your reply. This worked but it doesnt seem to be consistent.. not sure if the fact that I have a smart playlist based on another smart playlist (only because I want 5 anded conditions + 1 or'd which is playcount=0) and hence something goes wrong?
Any better way overall to manage these? I now have 4 pairs of these.
Also, any way to have a Smart Playlist that selects only video? They have the Media Kind = Podcast, but no Media Type = Video..
Many thanks,

I've another Bridge annoyance I don't quite know how to fix. It's the sorting order. I like to sort by Filename. That way edited copies of images show up right next to the master file. But when I close Bridge's window (hide it, as it's still open in Dock), and later open it again, the sorting order has changed to 'manually'. It does this every single time, so on opening Bridge I always have to change this. I have looked at how I can keep the sorting order fixed, but couldn't find it. Anybody know how to do this? Thanks a bunch.
LevinaLast used sort order should be kept when having restarted Bridge as it is
the same when using hide or minimize to dock icon. It does so in my version
so there will be no reason why it should not in yours .
Remember that when having used a sort order and only having changed the
order of one file it auto changes to manual sort order.
Also there is the option to use the sort order and window location fixed in
a new workspace ?
Also remember that whenever Bridge starts behaving odd the first thing to
try is to reset preferences. Close Bridge, restart it with holding down
option key and choose reset preferences from the provided menu. Set the
preferences again to your wishes and try again.
I have looked at how I can keep the sorting order fixed, but couldn't find it.

Can't Manually Change Collection Sort Order

Database "/Users/Dan Donovan/Pictures/Lightroom/Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat": AgLibraryCollectionImageOzSortOrder.positionInCollection may not be NULL
Statement: INSERT OR REPLACE INTO AgLibraryCollectionImageOzSortOrder
( collectionImage, collection, positionInCollection, ozSortOrder )
VALUES( ?, ?, ?, ? )
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Sort order for book collections
I have several book series that I've placed in individual collections for each series. I manually sort them in iBooks so that they are in proper reading order. When I sync my iPod Touch, some of the collections appear in the proper order on the iPod, while others appear in alphabetical order by title.
Is there some trick to having collections appear on the iPod in the same order I put them in iBooks?
Thanks for any help.Never mind, I answered my own question.
In list view, the books display alphabetically by title. In icon view, they display in the order I placed them into.
Seems odd to me that it would work like that.
