Albums arranged by date

I, as i'm sure everyone else does, have some artists in my music library with multiple albums. since i've downloaded ios7, my iPhone arranges these albums by release date and not alphabetically. it's really offputting because i can't remember when every album was released.
is there a way of switching this back to alphabetical sorting?

My albums continue to be displayed alphabetically as shown:
Note the vertical letters on the right.  Are your letters missing?
Have you got your albums in alphabetical order on iTunes on the computer you sync with?

  • In Mavericks, is there a way to sort by and arrange by date modified?

    In Mavericks, is there a way to sort by and arrange by date modified? I know how to do it in normal finder, however, if I try to upload something or open a document, it will not sort or arrange by date modified. I can sort by, but I cannot arrange by. It always seems to reset itself as well in finder for me. Is there a way to make this the default view?

    How to set a preferred view
    There are several ways you may open a given item in a new Finder window for the purpose of saving a view, but this method is the simplest. Follow these steps:
    Close open Finder windows.
    Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
    Choose Preferences from the Finder application menu.
    Click "Always open folders in a new window" to enable that option.
    Open the item for which you wish to set a view. It should appear in its own new window.
    Set the desired view in the new window.
    Close the new window.
    Repeat Steps 5 to 7 for any item you wish to set.
    If desired, click "Always open folders in a new window" to disable that option.
    Close the Finder Preferences window.

  • Albums view by date added

    Hi, I really like the new Albums view. I would like it to show me my newest albums first (not by year but by date added). I can do that in the Songs view, which is just super boring, and I can create a playlist containing my newest music, but then I am stuck with this huge sidebar, that I don't know how to get rid off  (and a big useless title bar that just shows me the name of the playlist). I think the Playlists view really *****... Is there another way? Thank you

    I know what you want to do, and unfortunately you cannot do it. The only way you can sort by date added is in the songs tab. The downside is that there is no album art which spoils the point. It would be nice to sort the albums tab by date added so you can find the newest music in an instant rather than search through your library.
    A simple solution -- The Zune software has the feature and the interface is cleaner (see attached picture). I use Zune to listen to music and iTunes to sync. If iTunes would be able to sort albums by date added that would eliminate my need for Zune.
    Hear that Apple??? Simple solution that every use can benefit from.

  • Finder in Column View always auto arranged by Date Modified

    My preferred default view is always Column View with Arranged By Kind, Sort By Name.
    Many times when I navigate around folders, it automatically switch to Arrange By Date Modified. This is very annoying, I have to either go back to previous folder and back again, or right click to switch back to Arrange By Kind.
    This has been happening for long time, not just in Maverick but previous versions too.

    No solutions for this known bug?

  • Arrange by Date Modified

    Ever since I updated to Lion I have been wondering how to keep a folder arranged by the date modified in the icon view. In Snow Leopard, if I set a folder to be arranged by date modified, it would do it and look exactly the same as if it was arranged by the name or kind. How do I do this in Lion? When I set it to arrange by date modified in Lion, it gives this weird view that doesn't show all my files. I can click show all for each view, but then the scroll is vertical instead of horizontal.
    Arranged by name:
    Arranged by date modified:

    Rather than "Arrange By", you want "Sort By":
    You might not be able to do this directly from the menu, but you can open the Show View Options window to set it. Change the Arrange By to None and the Sort By to Date Modified. (Then Use as Defaults if desired).

  • Arranging Random Data Pieces From SLX/Smart Catalogue Into Table Format

    Hi,
    We have a performance data grid that needs to appear on our quotation report.  The data is organized currently into rows in a 2-table linked format and manually entered as plain txt by the user.  We are now migrating towards designing a report in Crystal Reports to try to recreate this table layout but still needing to mine data for other purposes.  Therefore, the data pieces need to be distinct and separate.  Further, the data pieces required for the table can vary and can be organized in up to 9 different ways depending upon the given situation.  Is there an effective way to aesthetically arrange random data pieces in a table format?  The data pieces are coming from SalesLogix / SmartCatalog.  Has any other user of Crystal Reports attempted to do this - i.e. create a data table on a Crystal report?

  • Arranging the data in the internal table

    Hi all,
    I have data in my internal table in the fol format:
    PO number     Vendor Invoice no      Header total
    1000                122                            400
    1000                123                            500
    1001                125                            100
    1001                125                             100
    2001                126                             101
    2001                128                             102
    Now i need to arrange the data in the foll format and recalculate the total for every same  PO based on the different vendor invoice no as follows:
    PO number     Vendor Invoice no      Header total
    1000                122                            900
    1000                123                            900
    1001                125                             100
    2001                126                             203
    2001                128                             203
    As can be seen in the above table,the totals needs to be added for each PO with different vendor invoice no.
    Can someone explain me with sample code how to achieve the above?
    Thanks.

  • Change in file/folder arrangement of data disks?

    I periodically burn data DVDs of new additions to my iTunes library as a backup. I make a playlist of the music, then sort by album and burn as data disks.
    Previously, the DVD was arranged like this:
    01 First Album Name
    ..01 First Song Name
    ..02 Second Song Name etc
    02 Second Album Name
    ..01 First Song Name
    ..02 Second Song Name etc
    50 Fiftieth Album Name
    ..01 First Song Name
    ..02 Second Song Name etc
    Today I upgraded to iTunes 7.5 (from 7.4.2) and burn a disk and get:
    01 First Song Name (part of First Album)
    02 Second Song Name (part of First Album)
    03 First Song Name (part of Second Album)
    04 Second Song Name (part of Second Album)
    304 First Song Name (part of Fiftieth Album)
    305 Second Song Name (part of Fiftieth Album)
    Just a big list of files with no folder organization or album names. This makes a mess of the text files I keep for reference and the disks themselves IMO.
    *?

    Ooh! This is an even crazier bug than I initially thought.
    I tried putting in the pattern manually like so:
                <xs:pattern value="(0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12)"/>
    What I discovered is that it's not the transition from single digits to double digits that's confusing DW, it's the fact that when it evaluates 11, it has already evaluated 1. For example, if I change this to:
                <xs:pattern value="(0|10|11|12)"/>
    Then all my 10s, 11s, and 12s pass through just fine.
    However, if I tweak that to:
                <xs:pattern value="(0|1|10|11|12)"/>
    Now, my 10s and 11s and 12s trigger errors.
    For some reason, having the 0 in there does not trigger an error on the 10s in that first example.
    Bizarre, eh?

  • Can you sort albums by release date, rather than year, in album view?

    I love the new album view in iTunes 11, but the only problem I have with it is sometimes albums are in the wrong order.
    For example, last year Green Day released a trilogy of albums called ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré! but since they were released in the same year, they're ordered as ¡Dos!, ¡Tré, ¡Uno! when sorted by artist and then year which really doesn't sit right with me.
    In short, the sorting options for albums view are very limited, is there any way to extend them?
    Also I'm aware that I could, as a cheap fix, change the sorting in album to the release date backwards, but I'd rather not do that as it would make it a bit more troublesome for me to navigate my albums on my iPhone.
    Thanks!

    I agree that Apple should improve the year field to be an actual date.
    I am not 100% happy doing this, but when you have multiple albums from a single artist for the same release year, a temporary solution is to chage the album title by adding an outline type letter before album titles for that year, so that they appear in the correct order:
    David Bowie
    1977
    a. Low
    David Bowie
    1977
    b. "Heroes"
    etc
    This could help in the short term until Apple changes that field.

  • Why can I no longer sort my albums by release date in recent iTunes?

    In the older versions of itunes I used to be able to create playlists for each of the artists in my music collection and they would be listed in chronological order ie: by the release date, so that the most recent album would appear at the top, this option is no longer available to me, why? Also why was the cover flow feature removed? My music collection is quite large, close to 4 thousand albums and I want to be able to organise itunes in the same way that I organise my CD collection, alphabetically and chronologically and ideally with the option to organise artists by surname not by first name, in a logical manner. So I guess my question is, can it be configured to work in a more logical and common sense way as it used to be?

    I still can't see it. I had two other people try to look it up and they can't see it as well. This has been tried in WIndows 7 and Mac OSX. Both with fully updated iTunes applications. I'm also worried about the other keywords associated with my podcast not bringing it up either. Searching FFXIV only brings up the first two podcasts for me. Searching Final Fantasy XIV brings up a ton of podcasts, but ours isn't listed. Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing when I search for FFXIV.

  • How can I make the last photo taken display first (Arrangement by date AND time)?

    In PSE 3 Organizer, if I choose Arrangement -> Date (Newest First), it puts the photos I took yesterday first, but within a day, it puts the oldest first. In other words, all of yesterday's photos are first, but the ones taken in the morning appear before the ones taken in the afternoon. I really don't think it worked like this when we first got the software, and I'd like to know how to fix it.
    If I choose Arrangement -> Date (Oldest First), it seems to work correctly, sorting by date and time so that the oldest photos really are first.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? I'd really appreciate the help.
    Michelle

    What you are seeing is the default behaviour, which I think is logical - I like to see my latest batch of work near the top, but have them appear in the order I took them. There is an option in Edit/Preferences which lets you have the oldest first.

  • Importing old albums and photo data from iPhoto 5 to iPhoto6

    Hi-
    I recently got a Macbook Pro to replace my Powerbook G4 whose hard drive died. Luckily before it totally died, I got my iPhoto Library folder backed up on an external hard drive. I have all the album data files and library files as well as all the folders of photos.
    I was running iPhoto 5 on my old machine, and this one came with iPhoto 6. I'm happy to have the upgrade, but I can't figure out how to import all the albums themselves and the data associated with the photos.
    All I've been able to do is import the photos folder by folder from the "Originals" folder. The problem is that now all the photos are showing the date and time of when they were copied to the external drive, not when they were taken, and they are no longer sorted into albums.
    I know that there must be a way to get back my data without going through and individually changing the dates on all the photos and trying to figure out what albums they belonged in and when they were taken. In the meantime, I have over 4000 photos which are sorted in absolutely no manner and have completely nonsensical dates!
    I tried copying the files from the old iPhoto Library folder (AlbumData.xml, Dir.data, Library.cache, and Library.data) into my new iPhoto Library folder, but apparently there is something else that needs to be done, since this effectively did nothing.
    Any help that anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance,

    Lunarcleo:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. All you need to do is copy your V5 library folder intact into the Pictures folder on the MBP. I'd then download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. This is just to make sure the ownership and access is correctly set before you run iPhoto 6 and update the library to the new version.
    When you first launch iPhoto 6 is will tell you that it needs to update the library so select Update. That's all there is to it. Then V6 library will have all of the albums, keywords, comments, etc. that the V5 version had.
    Do you Twango?

  • Itunes (11.2.1)- ALBUM SORT BY DATE ADDED ?

    Hello,
    So before updating to Itunes version 11.2.1 my albums in itunes were visible and were sorted by ''date added''(even though I never chose this option). So the case would be that everytime I added a new song it would appear at the very end of my itunes library under ''Albums''. After updating it however, I have encountered a problem; Now my albums section is sorted in another way (Alphabetical order), So any newly added music will appear somewhere deep within all my other songs and not at the end of my library of albums.
    Please help me resolve this problem since I have invested into music for many years, and can't find my music now.

    I use an older iTunes so I don't know exactly how they have hte new one set up.  Presumably there is still a list view mode.  Use view options to display the date added column then sort by that.

  • How to create an album based upon date of importing photos

    today i imported over 2000 photos with dates accross three years time frame. how can i create an album based upon the date i imported the photos? or can i.
    if not, how would i add these pix to a specific album without going through the whole library some 15,000 photos strong now?

    Check out the Film Rolls ->
    View -> Film Rolls
    Each import creates a Roll, so the most recent one's should be easy to find. Select all and make an album from them.
