Why are my pictures in the "All Photos" Album out of order?
Within Albums there is an "All Photos" folder but some of the photos are out of order. How is this "All Photos" album different to the "Photos" view (which is in the correct order) and why are they not the same?
Thanks, that's a helpfuland explanation of the difference and makes sense as all my photos are actually in an album (which was an event in the previous version).
However it doesn't explain why the order in "all photos" is different. It is not in the order that the albums are arranged, and odd photos seem randomly scattered about separated from other photos from the same album.
On a separate note It's also a shame as there is no way of arranging the albums chronologically (which you could do with events)

All Photos Album Incorrect Sort Order
When I view the album "All Photos" from iCloud.com my photos are sorted by date with the newest ones at the bottom. When I view "All Photos" within iOS or the OS X app, the sorting order isn't correct. Any ideas?
Thanks!I think this is an embarrassing thought-fail on Apple's part.
After removing good ways of sharing photos from one library to another, people end up having to get older pictures, or pictures loaded into a laptop while traveling, back onto our main Photos libraries though copying (edited) files over the network and re-add them. This create systematic discrepancies in date added and date taken.
When "All Photos" Panoramas", "Videos" and otherwise handy views can only be viewed by date added they add to the feeling of having to keep your photos in an exposed disorder.
If you think of a photo, do you think about when/where you took it or when/to what library you added the photo?
People think of the first, and machines (and now apparently Apple) intuitively think of the second..
But maybe I'm too harsh, and I have missed something. Can anybody see a good reason for focusing on date added rather than date taken? -
when the All Photos Album is created, all of the previously hidden files are now un-hidden. Is there a way to hide them in the new album?
Hold your finger on the photo then tap hide.

How do I rearrange the sequence of pictures within "All Photos" album?
I've just upgraded to Photos. I have 35322 photos and it seems to handle it better than iPhoto.
I'm finding the "All Photos" album is showing out of chronological sequence, with various "moments" photos intersperced into a variety of different "moments".
I can't seem to find a way to rearrange the "All Photos" album to be a true chronological sequence, instead of the random sequence it has become.
What am I missing?at top of listings the should be a heading "Track#" if not go to view, veiw options and tick track number the it will show on main screen click this new heading and the tracks should alter to the correct order. Hope this helps

Duplicates in the all photos folder...
In the new photos app for all devices, when I move a photo from the all photos album to a designated folder, there is still a copy of that photo in the all photos album. This annoyed me in the past..... Can I change this with the new app?? Can I move a photo to a album and there is only that copy, or will there always be a copy in one huge all photos folder?
No - you can not move a photo at all
Photos (like iPhoto) uses a library and albums are just one way to view the photos in the library - there are not multiple copies and you do not move them - you are just adding a link to an album so you can view them from there

All photos Album Versus Photos
I've been reading all the descriptions about the difference between the "Photos" library as we were familiar with in iPhoto and the "All Photos" album that Photos has and I think I understand even if I disagree with the logic. I have a different problem. I took about 35 pictures with my DSLR today and inserted the SD card into my iMac and since I am still using iPhoto, I imported the pictures into iPhoto first and then opened Photos to import them. I went to the Photos library (at the top of the sidebar menu) and the pictures weren't there. I looked in the "All Photos" album and they were there. I also had several scans that I dragged into Photos and they appeared in both Photos and the All Photos album. When I checked the number of items in both the photos and all photos they matched but I looked through Photos and couldn't find the new pictures. They seem to be somehow hidden. What am I missing?
BrianvegasThe FAVOURITES and PANOS albums also sort by date and time too. So all the albums sort by time and day except the ALL PHOTOS album! Seems very strange! What's even odder is that the date range listed at the top of the ALL PHOTOS album would suggest that they are sorted by date!
Apple I hope you SORT this out soon -
"All Photos" album order mixed up after restore (device change)
I recently had to back up and restore an iPhone 6 to a new iPhone 6.
I did a full backup to iTunes, then restored to the new iPhone 6 from that backup.
Everything was restored, including all photos... (I have iCloud Photo Library turned on)... EXCEPT in the "All Photos" default album on my phone, the photos are not in the usual date order. They are all mixed up, mostly in large consecutive chunks, but with some individual photos randomly dispersed. No pattern that I can see otherwise. It looks like: (Jan-Mar 2010)--(Apr 2013-Nov 2013)--(Apr-2010-Feb 2013)--(Dec 2013-Feb 2014)--(Apr 2014-Sep 2014)--(Feb 2015 to today). Something like that.
The "Photos" tab, where you see collections, years, etc, is in date order. On iCloud.com, it is in the right order in the "All Photos" album. However, it is in the *wrong* order on my iPad, where I also have iCloud Photo Library turned on.
What I have tried:
1) Turning off, then turning back on iCloud Photo Library beta.
2) Full erase and restore from iCloud
3) Full erase and restore from a new backup
One more option would be to try restoring from the backup I made before the new iPhone 6, but then I would lose changes since then (about 2 weeks), and I would rather try to avoid that.
Has anyone seen this before? Why is this happening, and what else can I try to fix the order? I saw another thread about out of order events, but this seems different.I have noticed this as well. The actual dates in the meta data of the photos are correct, however they are displaying completely out of order in 'All Photos' in iOS and OSX Photos.

ALL PHOTOS album not sorting by date???
For some reason the ALL PHOTOS album is not sorting itself by date and time of when the photo was taken. They appear very random!
I don't know why this is happening. The VIDEOS album is sorting properly by date and time of when it was taken. The BURSTS album is sorting fine too.
It would be nice if there was an option to sort the ALL PHOTOS album by date. I know you can select the PHOTOS tab at the top and see photos sorted by date and time and place but I primarily use the ALL PHOTOS album and it just looks messy when it's not sorted properly. This was my go to in iPhoto and it was always sorted and images were easy to find.
Anyone know of any work arounds?
Thanks in advance

Hidden photos still appear in all photos album
Hi
In the new iPhoto when I hide photos they still appear in the All Photos album and will not hide , this is very inconveinant can somebody tell me if this is a bug or intentional and if so is there a work around.
thxHmmm. Yeah, that's what I'm seeing to. It hides it from the "Photos" area, and the Faces and other albums, but not from the "All Photos" smart album. It might be intentional; the "all photos" smart album may be intended to show ALL photos; hidden or not.
Note if your goal is to make the photo "secret," hiding the photo isn't the right trick. -
Apps wont open all photos album
Since updating to the new software whenever I want to send a picture from my 'All Photos' album via whats app, imessage or upload to instagram or instacollage etc, my phone freezes.
Any help with this would be great as it is really frustrating!
I am up to date with all updates and on ios 8.2
Thanks!I'm afraid you may need to wipe the device.
To perform a Security Wipe please follow the instructions below. Be sure and use BB Link to make a full backup before proceeding with the wipe:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB33591
Once the wipe is complete you can restore your backup. However, keep in mind that data in the backup may be the source of the original problem and restoring it may restore the problem, as well. To alleviate this I recommend not restoring the Settings portion of the backup.

Help - "All Photos" album cannot be regenerated after accidental deletion
I accidentally deleted the "All Photos" album in my Aperture db.
I tried William Lloyd's instructions from another discussion (see here - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7323811� )
...but that did not work for me:
all I see now under Library for the built-in albums are these:
All Projects
* or better
Rejected
In the Last Week
In the Last Month
Is there a way to fix this?

Strathglass.

After updating to iCloud photo library (iPhone 5, iOS 8.1), if I look at my "photos" tab I see over 700 photos, but in the 'all photos' album I only have 420. This results in only 420 of the photos uploaded to iCloud Photo library and not clearing much space off of my iPhone.

If I delete the photos in the "all photos" album, does it delete everything? I want to move them to other albums so that they are not randomly in an all photo album...
thanks!Do you mean here:
That is just another type of view of the Events. If you have View ➙ Event Titles selected you'll see the following:

I recently upgraded my mac desktop to oxs 10.9.2 and when I opened i photo, it says the photo livrary needs to be upgraded to work with this version of I photo. Where are my pictures? The message is "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of Iphoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete". I'm scared to upgrade!! Does this mean my photos can't be read once I upgrade? Where are my pictures?
First have you backed up your computer, if you have and your iPhoto library is in the back up you have nothing to be concerned about. If you are not using at least Time Machine to back up your system then you should be concerned because well frankly that is simply bad computing practice and you risking all of your data.
As for the message you received all that means is your system was using an earlier version of iPhoto with the version of OS X you previously had installed and now that you have updated to 10.9.2 (Mavericks) your version of iPhoto has also upgraded and needs to get ready to import all of your pictures. If you have backup then you should be confident the upgrade will go through smoothly, Apple generally has very good instructions and will not give bad advice, second guessing them may be cautious but is generally unnecessary.
