Arranging events in chronological order
I am experiencing difficulty in arranging events in chronological order. For instance, if I type in an event for 10 am on a particular day, and later type in an event on the same day at 2 pm, the 2 pm event appears ahead of the 10 am event. When I attempt to drag the 2 pm event below the 10 am event, most of the time it returns to its previous spot, which is before the 10 am time. Sometimes it works; most of the time it does not. What am I doing incorrectly? Thanks.
I tried to recreate your problem but couldn't.
When you enter a new event, double click on the day, enter the name and time of the event on the side panel that pops out.
Each time you double click on the day and enter a new event and its time, it will set itself in chronological order.
It may have to do with how you are entering events.
Hope this helps.

iPad doesn't synch iPhoto events in chronologic order.. what to do? I'm on MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 with iPhoto 9.6 - Solution anyone?... Thanks!
Solution anyone?...
Wait for an iOS update and send feedback to Apple. Many have reported that problem here - synced events and faces in arbitrary order, but there is no known solution. You cannot arrange the synced events, albums, and faces on your iOS devices in any way.

Problems merging events in chronological order
I have imported 3 sets of photos from differnt cameras of the same trip as 3 separate events. When i try to merge them as an single event, they refuse to merge chronologically but simpley merge as 1 complete set of photos after another i.e as three separate batches in the same event. I have checked that the dates are correct on all cameras, have selected all and checked "arrange by dates" but they still refuse to intergrate. Pleas help
With no more information it is just a guess but I'm guessing that the time is a bit off on each camera - if you have the sort (view menu) set to sort by date then they should be in date/time order
If this is it it is easy to correct with a smart album for each camera and using the adjust time and date command

IPhoto 9 v. 8.1.2 How do I arrange my pictures in chronological order?
iPhoto 9 v. 8.1.2
OS X 10.8.5
Hi
In any iPhoto window, my pictures don't layout in chronological order. I would like them to. I need to look at my pictures and see them in the sequence in which I took them. In the Mac Finder, there are many choices given for how to arrange files and folders. The one I would like to have for iPhoto is "Date Added".
How do I arrange my pictures in chronological order?
ThanksTerence,
OK. I see that now. Thanks.
I looked up DSCF. There doesn't seem to be a consensus on just what the acronym means.
Digital Still Camera Fujifilm. I'll take this since my camera's a Fuji.
Digital Storage Compact Flash (digital camera)
Choosing "sort by title" seems to work to layout the pictures chronologically (Attachment 1.). The title appears to be the DSCF followed by a number and the number sequence represents the sequence the pictures were taken in. This is also my recollection of what sequence the pictures were taken in.
What I don't understand is "sort by date" (Attachment 2.) "Sort by date" throws all that DSCF sorted by title out of sequence. I can't figure out what the pattern it is that's created here. Where is Iphoto picking up it's dating data, and why are the DSCF numbers out of alignment?
Attachment 1: Sort by title
Attachment 2: Sort By Date
Thanks for your input,

How do you arrange the albums in chronological order in iPhoto ?
How do you arrange the albums in chronological order in iPhoto ? Madde 47
What do you mean your own albums that are in alphabetically order?
How did you do that?
I didn't try to make that happen, but no matter how I re-arranged albums using MartyLightroom's suggestion (below now), all of the iPhoto synchronized albums appear only in alphabetical order.

In the iMovie 11 event library, how can I get the iPhoto video clips to combine with my camcorder pics listed below and in chronological order?
Try forcing iPhoto to load the Library on the External Hard drive by launching it while holding down the Option key. Choose the Library on the External HD, and quit iPhoto, see if iMovie can see the Library with the iPhoto Videos contained inside.

In iMovies, can I arrange the events in the Events Library in date order, e.g. 1994 - Sports Day; 1991 - John's christening; 1993 - Christmas?
If you import from a digital camera or camcorder, iMovie will automatically store your events in date order.
However, if you imported clips from an analog camcorder, like VHS or 8MM or Hi8, iMovie does not have any metadata to work with.
In this case, there are two ways to add back this metadata.
The simplest way is to right click on your Event clip and select Adjust Clip Date And Time. Do this for all clips in the event.
The other way is to name your clips before importing to imovie in this format:
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss.ext
where hh is hours in 24 hour time, and ext is the current file extension. If you name your clips this way, and then import to iMovie through FILE/IMPORT MOVIE then the clips will sort into the proper year. -
Incorrect dates on events causing events to be not in chronological order
I have had all kinds of trouble with the dates and order of events in 08. When I click on Reveal in Finder and hit the Info button I can see the correct recorded date in the info box but in 08 under the heading of the Event it shows up as a completely different strange date like 01/01/1904. I am using the international date system in my video cameras: day / month/ year. I couldn't find anywhere to confirm that 08 preferences were set to that date system and that is the only thing I can think of that may be causing the problem.
Can anyone give me some advice on how to correct the dates and get my events to go into the correct chronological order?
Thanks....KevinHi Karsten
Thanks for taking the time to reply. As I mentioned in my previous posting, it is not a date stamp problem because when I click get info it shows the correct recorded date in the info box. That's what I can't understand. I have imported things from different cameras including digital photo cameras and even when I open my iphoto videos they are always jumbled in a mess with videos from the same event ending up scattered everywhere in iMovie 08. That's why I thought maybe it was set up to read the US date system and not the international date system. One more problem with 08 is when you import DV video. If you import PAL it always says 'You have successfully imported about 52 minutes of video' when in fact you have imported about 62 minutes. When you import NTSC it tells you have imported about 62 minutes. I surprised they haven't addressed this basic mistake considering 08 has been out for some time now and half the world uses PAL. That's what made me think it may have been an oversight and they design it to only read the US date system which is only used in the US. I live in Japan and Japanese products use the Japanese date system which is Year, Month, Day which adds even more confusion with all the stuff I use. Anyway as I mentioned I have all my equipment set with the International date system which is Day, Month, Year, so I wonder if that has anything to do with the problem?
Thanks...Kevin -
IPhoto events are created NOT in chronological order
Hey -
I noticed that recently when I plug in the iphone or any camera to the computer to transfer photos into the computer, the event that's created is at the END of the iphoto main page.
So if I upload something that I took today, it will park that event icon down at the end near my photos from 07.
It used to create an event at the head of all the photos (reverse chronological order) - such that upper left hand corner square was the most recent pics and so on.
Anyone know how to fix?
I'm using iPhoto 8.1.2 in iLife '09.This seems to be a common problem after the upgrade to iOS 8 upgrade., for example: Re: Problems with events in Photo app on upgrading to iOS8
There is nothing that can be done about it. Sorting of synced events is not supported in the Photos.app.
To speed up a bug fix send feedback to the Developers using this form: Apple - iPhoto - Feedback
iTunes Photo sync will be discontinued soon. The iCloud Photo Library will replace it early next year in Photos for MacOS X. Already, with iCloud Photo Library Beta enabled, you can no longer sync your iPhoto library to your iOS devices using iTunes at all. -

IOS 5 sorts photos randomly. How do I get back to viewing them in chronological order?
iOS 5 sorts photos randomly. How do I get back to viewing them in chronological order?
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Exports not in chronological order: How to export in CreateDate order.
Hopefully this is an easy one but I can't figure it out. I have an event with about 850 pictures that were taken over a week's time. When originally imported into iPhoto they spanned several events because iPhoto by default creates one event per day. I subsequently merged all the events, and indeed the photos are in chronological order in iPhoto.
When I export to a folder on the desktop (JPEG High quality, Full size) and then examine that folder, +the photos are no longer in the order taken.+ The first day's photos seem to be in the middle, for example. The photos were renamed with ascending number values, but, for example, image 086 appears about halfway down, behind, say, 487.
It appears that the EXIF Create Date is not the criterion used to sort exported images(?) How can I get iPhoto to export this way? Who wants to look at a disk full of vacation images that are completely out of order. It seems to me to be the logical, default way to export a series of images.
Help! Thank you!But when you export from iPhoto, it is iPhoto that names the files for export.
Correct.
If you export them at the Event level, it doesn't rename them in exif chronological order correctly
Renaming in exif chroological order? Is that a feature? iPhoto does not rename files at all unless you tell it to. If you don't tell it to then it will export the files with the same name as they imported with.
However, if you open the event and select all the photos and export as sequentially numbered files, it will number them correctly based on exif data.
No it won't. It will export them as sequentially numbered files based on the sort you were using at the time of export, as OT points out. The sequential numbering has nothing to do with the exif data and everything to so with the sort order you have chosen in the Event or Album. Choose a different sort order in the Event and you'll get a different result. -
