Can I sort alphabetically by, say, caption?

Caption is not one of the criteria listed on the pull-down menu. The only way I know to sort alphabetically is by file name.
Is there a way to create my own criteria? I want to be able to sort things alphabetically by the words in the caption fields.
Thanks,
Dean

Lightroom does not have this capability.

How can I sort alphabetically three columns?

Hi to everybody!
I've got some problems sorting alphabetically three columns. If I try to sort one column it changes also the others. I want three independent columns and each of them must be sorted out alphabetically.
In Excel it's so easy: I just have to select the column and push the button "sort the column alphabetically". Why is that so difficult in numbers?

l,
What is the nature of the content in the three columns? If the content is just data, and not calculations or the input to calculations, you can easily accomplish a single column sort in Numbers.
I see from your screen shot that you are still in the Excel mindset. You have a large table with more rows and columns empty than occupied. To work most effectively in Numbers we usually use only as many rows and columns as necessary, and if we have data that is of another set and not related, we begin a new table.
So, if your data meets the requirements of the first paragraph and you have trimmed away the excess rows and columns we can do the following: Click once on the label of the column you wish to independently sort. Then click again on this label and drag it up and away from the table to a blank area of the canvas. Perform the sort on the separated column. Then grab the sorted column in the same way as before and move it over the original table, watching the borders between columns highlight as you move over them. The double line between columns identifies the insertion point. When you have your sorted column in the right place, drop it back into the original table.

Can layers be sorted alphabetically in InDesign?

Please could someone tell me if layers can be sorted alphabetically in InDesign?

Thanks for your reply Rob
I worked with a few people and managed to get it accomplished with .jsx script. I'm using Adobe Illustrator CC, so I was hoping that I might be able to "borrow" some code from what might have turned up here.
Here is the script that we got drawn up to alphabetize pathItems within Illustrator, and the original code that sorts layers is at the top of the post:
Re: Re: Re: How to sort objects alphabetically (inside of a layer)?
***EDIT***
I pulled the script from that post just in-case that post goes down or gets deleted.
#target "Illustrator"
function alphabetize()
     if (app.documents.length == 0)
          alert("No document Open");
          return;
     var docRef = app.documents[0];
     var state = docRef.layers;
     for (a = 0; a < state.length; a++)
          var provider = state[a].layers;
          for (b = 0; b < provider.length; b++)
               var product = provider[b].layers;
               for (c = 0; c < product.length; c++)
                    var town = product[c].pathItems;
                    if (town.length > 0)
                         var townList = [];
                         for (d = 0; d < town.length; d++)
                              townList.push(town[d].name);
                         townList.sort();
                         sort_layer(product[c], townList);
function sort_layer (obj, array) {
     for (var ri=0, riL=array.length; ri < riL ; ri++) {
     obj.pathItems.getByName(array[ri]).zOrder( ZOrderMethod.SENDTOBACK );
alphabetize();

How can I sort lines of data (alphabetically) in the new pages 5.0?

How can I sort lines of data (alphabetically) in the new pages 5.0?
It was very simple to do in the previou version of pages.

I'm not sure why people are torturing themselves with Pages 5 given the nearly universal outcry on this forum and the incredibly negative reviews elswhere, such as the App Store.
Pages 4.3 should still be in an iWorks folder within your Applications folder. Just use that.

Photos for iOS: How can i sort all of my albums automatically in alphabetical order

Hey there,
first off, why isn't there a a community for the new Photos app?
Anyway, here is my problem:
How can i sort my albums on the new Photos app on iOS?
I think it's not possible at the moment.
I am using the iCloud Photo library and uploadet all of my 15.000 photos from the last 15 years.
And because of that, i now have many many albums on Photos now.
Overall i love the new app and i love the iCloud Photo library, but i cannot sort my albums on the iOS app automatically in alphabetical order.
I can sort albums manual, but who wants that, when you have so many of them???
I have Photos on my Mac too and there i am able to do sort them in alphabetical order. But it is not adopted to iOS or the iCloud Web-App.
Because of that, i have a complete picture chaos on my iPhone and when i am looking for this one pic in that one album it takes me forever to find it.
So please Apple, fix this and we all can live happily ever after!
Thank you!

Moments in Photo are the new Events. T
here's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When the library was first migrated there was a folder created titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events are represented by an album in the folder. To open the sidebar if it's not open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window showing all of the albums.
The downside to this simulation is that the Album/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title while viewed in the Folder in the main window or in the sidebar. But they can be sorted manually.
Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

Copy the words to the Mac's clipboard (Edit menu> Copy)
Paste into TextEdit
Next open the Edit > Find > Find window in Text Edit.
Highlight a space between two words and Edit menu > copy, paste into the Find field
Next create a return in the middle of your text and copy that and paste into the Replace field
Click Replace All.
Now Edit > Select All and Edit > Copy
Open a Spreadsheet program with Sort ability and paste into the second column cell from the top
place a "a" into the top column cell, select the entire colum
Sort desending order
Now if you need it out of spreadsheet format, then your going to need to copy just the data cells (not the entire column to avoid problems) and Paste "Special" as unformatted text into a word processing program
If you need to get rid of the Returns, do the opposite you did in Text Edit, replace the Returns with Spaces
A chore, but it's rare one needs to sort words into alaphabetical order.
FYI, I used TextEdit and the free LibreOffice (Spreadsheet and Word Processing) for the above effects.

You can't.
Sounds like you need to create a spreadsheet with Docs To Go to enable sorting line by line...

Hi Dieter,
Your profile shows Mac OS X (10.6.8) so it seems you are using Numbers version 2.x
Numbers 2 does not have the ability to sort Pop-Up Menu entries (except by a painful process of adding or subtracting entries in Inspector).
Numbers 3 makes Pop-Up Menus a breeze. But it is your choice whether to update to OS X Mavericks and Numbers 3 . Some features have been lost, other features have been added, and there are some workarounds.
Have a look at these threads before you decide:

How can I sort faces by alphabetically?

I have more than 1000 faces in Photos. It is a nightmare to find one in the faces screen for editing, mixing or renaming purposes. In iPhoto faces were sorted alphabetically.

NO sorting in this 1.0 version of Photos.
You can request features, point out bugs, etc, at Apple Feedback pages.
Or directly for Photos.

Thank you for enlightening me! I will now give up the iPhone I've been using for business for the last 4 years and go buy something more suitable. It seemed as if it was working so well for business. But I must have been mistaken about how productive I've been.Yikes! I sure hope my boss doesn't find out! She may take back that bonus she gave me.
