Album Info and Sort Order?

Two Questions really, both of which I think (I hope!) are just me not quite getting the interface:
1) In iPhoto an album can have comments associated with the it. I tended to put in notes that related to all the pictures in the album, when I did the import from iPhoto I can't seem to find these album comments anywhere, I can only get the inspector to show a given image version info.
2) When looking at the listing of albums on the left I have them in folders by year 2001, 2002, etc. Within each folder everything seems to be alphabetical - if I have albums called:
"A Album 2005-10-05" and "B Album 2005-01-10" then A comes before B and they are not in the proper order. Is there anyway to tell the Aperture to either:
- Sort in date order?
- Don't sort at all and allow me to just drag and place the albums in whatever order I want?
I know I can rename my albums to have the date info at the start of the album in order to get this to work, but I don't really have a ton of motivation to do that for hundreds of albums. I guess a third question is if there would be some useful way to automate that?

I had the same issue. I compared the "get info" for two songs from the same U2 album, and the difference in my case was that the song from group A had U2 listed as the album artist. Song B was in a different group and that field was blank. I typed U2 into that field, and voila! The wayward songs migrated into the correct album.

  • Russian and English combined Index Group Title and sort order

    How should I create the combined index Group Title and sort order in Russian and Greek documentations?

    The final product one Russian manual which contains some English Index marker ...
    And what is the problem?
    You can control the sorting by placing a [...] tag in the Marker Text, such as:
    [Сплайн] Spline
    The term(s) in the brackets are used only for sort. What appears in the Index is the following text.
    Or you can just edit the Marker Text.
    But it sounds like there might be more than one question here, re: Group Titles.

  • Lost all album info and cannot retrieve it!!!

    I purchased my first ipod nano (4gb) and have spent absolutely ages transferring music and saving from cds onto my laptop (wimdows vista) and purchasing from itunes store. Then, all the album info has been lost! I've tried to 'Get album info' and had friends who use itunes with their ipods but no one knows what to do. Can anybody help me please?

    Thanks for the clarification, Shaney boy.
    Although it still strikes me as a very unusual situation. Because in addition to the Song Names themselves, the Artist and Album names (along with a variety of other information) are all stored in the actual music files.
    And offhand I can't imagine why that information would either disappear from the files or become non-existant as far as iTunes is concerned.
    Just a few questions:
    I'm assuming the CD's were imported with iTunes, can you confirm whether or not that is the case?
    Is it just the information that is disappearing, i.e., are the Artist and Album columns still there and all blank or have the columns themselves disappeared?
    Do you - at least temporarily - get the lost information back when you highlight the tracks and go to the iTunes Advanced menu > Get CD Track Names?
    Whatever the case, perhaps if you post a screenshot of your iTunes Library display, as per Hudgie's User Tip , it will provide us with some clue as to what might be going on.

  • Changed info and sort won't save in iTunes

    I changed the info and sorting of my songs in the iTunes Library. When I open iTunes the next day, it goes back to sorting the old way. If I open the info and hit "next", it will resort. Obviously, this gets old when done 1700 times. Any thoughts to get it to keep sorting the way I want it to? I am using Windows 7, iTunes 11.3.1.2.

    Go to iTunes > Preferences > Store and turn off
    Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases
    Share details about your library with Apple
    On any iOS device go to Settings > Music and turn off
    Show All Music
    Close and reopen iTunes and/or reset the device and you should see your version of the metadata for each track rather than the original store data.

  • Aperture, the iPad, and sort order

    Basically, Aperture and iPad really don't seem to be happy bed buddies. Seems to me the bottom line is if you want to use your iPad to browse and view pictures, don't "upgrade" to Aperture.
    My basic problem is sort order, and twofold:
    1. The order of Albums and Events (ie. Projects) are completely out of whack.
    2. The order of actual photos in albums and events are completely out of whack too.
    Now I've seen complaints about 2. in the discussions but they seem to be pretty old threads and everyone's seemed to just have lived with it. I also see this support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3381. Seriously? Apple calls that a "Resolution"? Manually dragging a photo in each and every album / project so that it uses the custom sort? Then of course on top of all that monkey work, the sort will be screwed for any future photos added to the album / project. ***? You can't even call that a workaround, let alone a resolution. Seriously Apple. Has anyone had any better luck with it?
    This has been a pain in the *** with A2 and the iPhone but I didn't really use that too much to display my photos. But now with A3 and iPad, it's still exactly the same deal? This is just plain stupid.
    As to 1. I can't for the life of me figure out what this order is (it's not by date or by name / path or anything I can tell), or if there's any way to change it. Nor could I find any threads about this issue so any info or tips would be very useful.
    I really hate that all this iDevice syncing has solely been designed for use with iPhoto/iLife and the pro applications were just tacked on as a badly implemented afterthought. Is the pro market (specifically the intersection of Pro software and iDevice users) really this small that it means nothing to Apple, a company which normally prides itself in its attention to detail and user experience?

    After taking a breath I renamed "version name" using the batch change function (you can select to keep the original file name untouched if you want) with a custom name as following:
    <Image Date> at <Image Time> - <Version Name> (optional as a reference to the original file name)
    synched with ipad and everything is fine now. takes only 30 sec. still annoying you have to go through these extra loops though...

  • ITunes 11 Recently Added and Sorting Order

    Upon updating to iTunes 11 last week, I've found that my Recently Added playlist is completely out of order both on my iPhone 4 and in iTunes on my Mac.
    The playlist is now set to sort by artist name, not the date that the songs were added. Ordinarily, I would just switch my display to "Sort by: Date Added." However, when I do this, the tracks within each album are now listed alphabetically, rather than being listed in track order. Towards the bottom of my playlist, songs aren't even sorted by album anymore - three albums are completely mixed up, because I purchased them at the same time.
    When I view this album on my iPhone, the same problem occurs. The songs are listed in the order that I downloaded the album, but the songs within the album are either in a random order (probably the order in which the songs finished downloading) or they are listed alphabetically. This did NOT happen prior to downloading iTunes 11.
    To summarize: I can get the songs listed in the correct track order if I sort by artist, but then the albums are not sorted by date added. I can get the albums sorted by date added, but then the tracks are not sorted in correct track order.
    What I would love is for the playlist to show the most recent album that I downloaded, with the tracks in the correct order. In other words:
    Most Recent Album
         Track 1
         Track 2
         Track 3
    Next Most Recent Album
         Track 1
         Track 2
         Track 3
    Is this possible?

    For reference...
    In this image, you can see that the playlist is sorting by artist, and within each album, the tracks are in the correct order.
    In this next image, you will see that I have sorted the playlist by "Date Added." When I do this, the "Sleeping with Sirens" album is in REVERSE alphabetical order (because it's ascending, not descending), not reverse track order. The albums near the top of the playlist are completely jumbled up.
    Prior to updating to iTunes 11, the playlist worked wonderfully. The far-left column (the one that is selected in the first photo) was selected, and it would list all of my songs in the manner I outlined in the first post (albums by date added, with track order intact) and all was well. I am wondering if it is possible to get that again, or, if not, why?

  • IPhone photo album file name sort order

    I have a folder with photos in it on my Mac.  When I sync the folder to my iPhone and view the photos on the phone, the photos are not displaying in file name sort order.  The file names of the photos are numbers (001, 002, 003 etc.).  It seems the photos are being displayed in date created order and not in the file name order.  The album with photos on my Mac is arranged / sorted by the name when syncing.
    Is there a way to have the photos in the iPhone album displayed in file name sort order?
    Thanks,
    David

    Focus Point (not free, no ads) will allow you to rename the files, add descriptions, and sort in a variety of ways. But it won't let you do anything in the main screen except browse your photo albums or camera roll, select one, and then you can do a search within that album or camera roll--and then if and only if the photo has a filename or description can you search for it. Bottom line: be sure to give your photos a proper file name and add a description.

  • I recently moved my itunes library. Itunes deleted a lot of artist and album info and album art. Now it won't let me edit the info to correct it. Any advice on to correct this?

    I recently bought a new Asus laptop and moved my itunes to it. All of my files are stored on an external hard drive. In the process of importing my files into itunes on the new laptop, some artist and album info has been deleted. A lot of album art is missing as well. I attempted to correct the missing info, but now itunes won't let me edit any track, artist or album info. Any idea what the problem is and how I can fix it? Thanks.

  • [ Previous]  [Next ]  and Sort Order

    Is there a way to make HTMLDB generate report and edit form in such way that [< Previous] [Next>] sequence on follows the reports SORT ORDER instead of PK ?
    e.g. a report on EMP and user sort on HIREDATE...
    so when user gets linked to Edit Form page and click Previous/Next buttons - the USER, totally oblivious to PK - from his perspective, he expects to see [< Previous], [Next>] brings up the Previous/Next record PER SORT ORDER

    Robert - I think it's supposed to work the way you
    want it to. Are you using the column sort options on
    the report attributes page?Scott,
    No, it's not doing that...
    Just now generated app on EMP - all default except no aggregations and sum to keep it simple.
    Test#1)
    Click HIREDATE column to sort DESC.
    KING
    MARTIN
    TURNER
    Click MARTIN record to edit. PREV/NEXT follows EMPNO order
    JONES
    MARTIN
    BLAKE
    Test#2) went into "Report Attributes"
    Under "Sort": Uncheck all except HIREDATE and made
    "Sort Sequence" = '1 desc'
    Result is same as Test#1

  • How to quickly find purchases and sort order of songs?

    I just purchased an entire album and some random songs from another artist. First of all, what's the quickest way to access my purchases? Nextly (word?) how do I customize the order of the tracks so I can burn a CD the way I want to?

    You have to make aplaylist in order to burn to a CD. Once you have the burn playlist, you can either sort by the columns, of if you have the little black triangle in the header row at the extreme left, you can drag tracks into any order you like.

  • Tilda and sort order in iTunes

    I used to put a tilda (~) in front of an album title to get it to move to the top of the alphabetized album list in iTunes browser view. Unfortunately, with the recent upgrade to v 7.3, the program no longer recognizes the tilda (it just ignores it and alphabetizes based upon the following text). Any recommendations as to how to get iTunes to recognize the tilda like it used to, or failing that, what character may I put at the start of an album name to jump it to the top of the alphabetized list?
    Thank you!

    I get the same thing too.. so what bright spark at Apple didn't consider the impact on users by making this totally unnecessary change?
    I have nearly all my playlists (lots) with tildas (~) or hashes (#) at the front of track names to get them to move to the top in an order that works for me personally.. now all my playlists tracks are all over the place which isn't helpful as I use iTunes as a 'jukebox' for stage shows for playback.. this caused a slight chaos on the first night after upgrading as I wasn't aware that this change had been made and now I have a lot of extra work to overcome this problem.. so I guess there may be quite a lot of unhappy/angry people about this change !!
    Come on Apple.. put the tilda back to where it should be please and think of the impacts before making such unnecessary changes!!
    Thx !

  • Resource bundles and sort order?

    I am wanting to use a resource bundle to store entries that can then be displayed sorted in a combo-box component in an HTML page, though it does not seem to be working out. Basically I am using JSTL and Struts2, and the select component can take various collection types including a Map. As an alternative I tried using a properties file, but this has two issues:
    - I loose the locale resolution mechanism provided by ResourceBundle
    - The order in which the entries appeared in the file is lost (it does not inherit from LinkedHashMap)
    What approach would you recommend to loading a localised list and then ensure it displays in the order of the display values. I looked around the net, but I am yet to find anything of use.

    If you want to have default values, I would suggest using ResourceBundles and just sending in a Locale with the variant of the company. That way if your application ever needs to be localized it won't take much to change it. Your properties files would be named baseName_languageCode_CountryCode_Variant.properties.
    It has been a great advantage for the program that I am developing.

  • ATV 2  4.2 build 8F191m - YouTube subscriptions and sort order

    Is there a way to get subscriptions to sort by latest or newest?

    I have just noticed this behavior as well. I can't tell what they are sorted by. PBSNewsHour as an example is not sorted by date, rating, views or alphabetically. It just seems random. Unless the UI is changed the only logical way to sort youtube subscriptions is to put the newest first.
    Be sure to let Apple know about this if you are having the problem.
