Album 'sort by name'

I just purchased Elements 10 and am disappointed that it is not possible to 'sort by name' in the Album. This is a basic fundamental option in all OS so why not in Elements 10?

Albums will usually respect file names (alphabetical order) if you change from date sort.
You can also drag to arrange and the photos will retain their fixed (numbered) positions.

ITunes 11: In the store, I can no longer sort by name/artist/album

I can no longer sort by name or artist or album when I'm in the store with iTunes 11. Yes, I discovered the View Options in the Menu Bar. By when I select it nothing opens. Same for Command-J. It doesn't do anything either. I've tried hitting Command-J repeatedly, but nothing.
The fact is, it seems utterly stupid to have this work differently than when you're in your library---by simply hitting name/artist or album in the bar at the top of the list. Having to sort lists in the Store via a completely different method than the lists in one's library is totally counter-intuitive.
But back to my problem: The View Options won't open for me. Anybody know how to fix this?
I've got a lot of music I wish to buy, but I need different methods of sorting, otherwise it'll be a nightmare trying to keep track of things.
Thanks,
Doug

I have the same exact problem. I am using a Windows computer running Windows 7. I was able to see them prior to the installation of 10.4. I have this problem on 2 computers and have a hard time believing that no one else is having this problem

My photo albums used to be sorted by name now they are sorted by date (ipod touch ) any ideas?

my photo albums on my ipod touch
were sorted by name now they are sorted by date taken .I didn't change any settings on my computer any ideas?

You're in the Photo Mode with Event Titles displayed so you are looking at events. But in this mode you can only sort the photos within the Events, not the Events.
Go to the Events mode and there you can sort the events by: date, title or manually:
FWIW albums arew those items in the left hand pane:

Sorting doesn't seem to sort by name - why?

Having successfully migrated from Aperture to Photos I was surprised to find that the sorting function is minimal and doesn't appear to work. With 'Keep sorted by date' unselected my pictures do not sort by name. The only thing I seem to be able to sort by name is the Album in which I keep my folders of pictures within Photos.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks!

When you changed the folder setting for iTunes, you may have noticed at the top of the dialogue box that is was changing the settings for that folder only. For instance, I did my little test on a drive named "Video". When I called up the View Options, the box specifically said Video at the top. So I knew the change was only going to affect that folder.
There is a box at the bottom to Use as Defaults, but it still only affects that folder. I can't see a way to make the option global, which means you have to mark folders one at a time to calculate the subfolder sizes. Probably intentional as it can really slow down the Finder's response time when it has to sit there and tally up the contents of every folder you open, or reopen.

Album sorting problem?

I have an iPod nano, believe it's first generation, that I got in June 2006. It's always worked fine, but recently I've been having a problem with album sorting. I prefer not to sort my songs into albums at all, but a few do have albums listed. But now when I look up music by artist, rather than displaying "all" and have the album(s) listed below, it automatically goes to the album.
For example, I had one Taylor Swift song with an album listed, and all her other songs without. When I go to her name, it automatically goes to that one song, and I can't see the others without albums. THe other songs can still be found under "songs" on my ipod. When I delete the album, it's fixed, but I really don't want to do that. Anyone know how to fix this?

Once you add a second album name for that artist even for a single song, ALL the rest of the songs should now show up under that artist, even those without album names.

In Bookmarks, when I right click on a bookmark "SORT BY NAME" is no longer there. how do I get it back?

In Bookmarks I used to be able to right click on a bookmark and in a menu box I could click on, SORT BY NAME, sort by name is no longer in the right click menu. I don't want to have to drag to sort bookmarks as I have too many. How do I get "SORT BY NAME" back in the right click menu in Bookmarks? Thanks, HT

In Firefox the option to sort bookmarks is only available for folders and not for individual bookmarks.
Easiest to sort by name is to do that in the left pane of the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) and right-click the folder that you want to sort.

Two albums with same name combined into one

I have two greatest hits albums by different artists. Both albums are called 'greatest hits'. In iTunes on my Mac they appear as two different albums. I've just synched my music from my Mac to my iPhone (iOS8 I think). The albums have been merged into one greatest hits album (artists X songs have been added to artists Y a. How do I stop this?
On my Mac I've renamed one album 'hits' and then resynched. There are now two albums: Hits by artist Y and Greatest Hits by artist Y (with no album artwork and the songs are actually by artist X).
Thanks for any helps

iTunes identifies an album by its name. If there is more than one album with the same name then iTunes will see it as one album. As you have found you have to give them different names.

How do I print a list albums sorted by artist

iTunes 12.1.2.27 Windows 7 SP 1 (64 bit)
I would like to generate a list of albums in my library sorted by artist. This used to work fine before I upgraded to iTunes 12 last fall by using File > Print > Album listing / Theme: List of albums.
Since the iTunes 12 upgrade the list is generated sorted by album title and not by artist. I have my View options set to Albums - Sort by Artist them by Title.
Even though the theme clearly states sorted by artist, it generated a list sorted by album title. How do I fix this so that it generates what the theme description states?
Thanks for your help and insight in restoring the old print behavior.

Hi ed,
I am on iTunes 12.1.2.27 ... but what I get is albums sorted by title in both the preview and the output file. This behavior has been consistent since I upgraded to iTunes 12 ... with iTunes 11 it did work like what you are seeing. I do think it is some sort of bug ... iTunes 12 was not the smoothest software upgrade I have see. I did run into a lot of lock-ups and trashing of album art in the 12,0 releases but this latest release (12.1.2.27) seems to be have taken care of most of those issues.
I might look into doing a complete removal of iTunes and then try a new clean reinstall but I was hoping that maybe there was some setting, or config file parameter, that might fix this..
Thanks for your response.

Outlook sort by name - quicktype / searching by name using keyboard doesn't work right

I'm not sure how to best explain this. In Outlook first you sort by name, and then you quickly type the first few letters of the person's name.
In Outlook 2010, this would cause it to go to the right person. For example if I type M-A-R it would go to Mark
However in Outlook 2013 when I type M-A-R rapidly, it goes to the R's in the alphabet.
Anyone else had this experience and have a suggestion on how to do anything about it?

Hi,
Could you give us more exact information? Did you refer to sort by "TO" or "From"?
In Outlook 2013, on “Mai” tab, under "search box" section, there is no "By Name" option in the sort options.
Please check and rebuild the index:
Click start and in the search box type "Index". Go into the Indexing Options applet and Click "Modify". When the Indexed Locations dialog comes up, make sure " Microsoft Outlook" is checked.
If the issue still persists, you can rebuild the index for test.
Best regards,
Karen Hu

When I select my iPod touch in iTunes the buttons are inactive when I try to sort by name, artist etc. Also about half of the links under 'file' etc are not active.

When I select my iPod touch in iTunes the buttons are inactive when I try to sort by name, artist etc. Also about half of the links under 'file' etc are not active.

Further to my question, when I plug in and select my iPad 2 I don't have the same problem. I have restored the settings on my iPod Touch and updated both iTunes and iPod Touch software and restarted my iPod touch. Nothing has made any difference.

Elements 11 Sort By Name does not always sort by name

If I choose Sort By: Name, MOST of the images are sorted properly by filename, but some are not.
All my files are named YYYYMMDD####, but yet (for instance) in this view right now I have three files that start with 20150317 that are sorting BEFORE pictures with filenames 20150101... Then everything goes sequentially as expected, right through the place in the sequence where these pictures SHOULD be.
At the end of the sort I have similar problems. If the sequence ends with (say) 20140414...., then there will also be pictures with filenames like 20150317 AFTER that.
This makes no sense. The system simply cannot be actually sorting by filename and having this result. It's got to be using some metadata of some sort, not filename.
I've looked at the advanced properties/metadata and there does not appear to be any difference between files that properly sort and those that show up out of sequence.
What's the deal?

Just to update this in case someone else is having a similar problem.
First, I mis-spoke. I'm on 12, not 11.
With that, I do have all the right menu choices to "sort by name", however when I did that, it did not correct the sort order. A very small fraction of what I had in the catalog (perhaps 1%) persisted in sorting by some unknown criteria. Viewing the meta data or properties of the files did not show any differences between the files that were sorting "out of sequence" and those that were.
At one point, thinking something had corrupted the catalog (I have a lot of files, who knows..) I "repaired" and then "optimized" the catalog. No change.
Ultimately what I did was (just to "try something") was delete the catalog entry for those files (not the files themselves) and then re-scan that folder. Elements Organizer "found" the files again and imported them into the catalog. After that, they now show up properly, sorted by filename, in the thumbnail view (by folder).
So.. whatever it was, it was solved in this way. We'll see if it now recurs.
Thanks!

How do I alphabetize my bookmarks. "Sort by Name" option only sorts general bookmark folders, not actual bookmarks.

I want to have my bookmarks displayed alphabetically but the "Sort by Name" option under "Organize" only applies to folders in the "Library". How do I just sort my list of bookmarks as I can easily do with IE?

Look at SortPlaces: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/9275

I can't get Sort By Name to work on the Bookmarks Menu. How do you sort your folders alphabetically?

I have my bookmarks sorted in folders. When I create a new folder it goes to the end of the list. I have tried going into Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks, right click on Bookmarks Menu and Sort By Name but nothing happens. I have to manually move the newly created folder.

Open the Bookmarks Manager. Open the folder branch tree. On this tree,
select the folder you want with a right click.

I have no problem sorting an individual folder by name, I can't get the list of folders to sort. As you can see by the attached images, several folders I've added are at the bottom of the folder list and even after I right click on Bookmark Menu/Sort By Name, they don't alphabetize.

[iOS][Your Music] Album sort by artist is out of order

After the 3.4.0.684 update for IOS, the album sort by artist is out of order. It looks like the sort is only factoring in the first letter in the sort as seen below. Can the old sort methodology be put back in.
