Custom sort order right after import

right after an import I start culling and basic editing. From here I will rename, keyword, and proof, than I file the images in the appropriate folder. But before renaming and proofing I may need to change the order of images.
LR does not allow you to change the order of images right after an import unless you have filed the images to a new folder..... Well I need to sort before filing.
Hope this can be done. I think it is simple enough.

Followup: I spoke to Andre with Aperture support. He could not confirm this, at first, using a small number of images dragged from project A to Project B. Using a larger number (99 in his case), he was able to confirm the loss of custom sort order. The Apple web site says this has been corrected for import/exports and that is also not fixed. He will refer the problem to engineering for correction in a future update.
I suspect (have no proof) the problem relates to the way Aperture divides each download (from card or camera) to a project into separate folders. To see this, export a project and open it (show package contents). Within the project package are separate folders for each of the downloads to the project. Aperture does not consolidate the images into a single folder. It appears that when a set of images are downloaded at one time is interposed between images taken previously, the sort order is not lost when the images are moved to another project or exported as a project.
I still would like to know if there is a work around for this.

Custom sort order still lost

This was not fixed as reported by Apple with Aperture version 2. When I move custom sorted images from one project to another, or export and import a project with custom sorted images, the sort order is lost. The order after the move, or import is either in file name order or sometimes in a completly random order. This occurs on both my MacBook Pro (late 2008) and my 8 core (16GB RAM) Mac Pro.
This makes it impossible to do efficient work in the field and export the work.

LR - Creating Custom Sort Orders in Lightroom | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

Julieanne Kost shows the best ways to take advantage of Adobe Lightroom’s Custom Sort Order feature in this Lightroom 2 tutorial.
http://adobe.ly/y3dj94

This was helpful, Julieanne, however, I have one more question on custom sort order. I am trying to sort a Collection that is made up of photos from several different import files. It's a vacation collection where I have created a different file for each day of the vacation as well as by who took the photos. So i have a file for my daughter's shots, my shots, my son's, etc, to keep things organized. Now that i have selected the "best of" from each original import file, I have created a new User Collection where I am putting them all together. The problem is, my entire Collection won't sort. I want to sort them all by capture time, but LR keeps grouping them by the original file source, and only sorting by capture time within each group. Can you help?

Custom Sort Order (Re-ordering)?

I understand I can't drag and drop in smart collections or in folders with sub-folders. But I should be able to re-order photos in a normal collection by dragging and dropping. This feature has stopped working. Any ideas? Thank you (LR 4.1 with Windows 7, 64 bit)

Maintaining custom sort order when copying between albums

Is there any way that you folks have discovered to maintain the custom sort order of the images in an album when copying these images into a another album? Duping the album is not an answer, as I need to collate the contents of a number of albums into one.
I tried selecting the contents of the album that I had just done the custom sorting in, and making it into one big stack, to try to move that to keep the order. Aperture informed me that stacking only works on images from one project.
OK, since I now know this fact about stacking, is there any good way to merge projects? I have a ton of work on the images in the individual projects, and don't want to redo anything.
Anyway, hope you get the problem, any help will be appreciated.

I believe the new sort order only works on the new iPods (Nano and Video)

Lightroom Mobile does not recognise my custom sort order

I cannot find a way to get the Lightroom Mobile app on my iPad to recognise the custom sort order set up for the collection on my desktop. I am on the current versions of both Lightroom and Lightroom Mobile. The only sort option that appears in LR mobile is by capture time. The custom sort order is available as an option for the collection on the Abobe website but not on the mobile app.

You can change the sort type when you touch the Capture Type-label. So tab on the "Capture Time"-label and you will see the other sort options like "Modified Date", "Custom Order" etc.
Hope that helps.

Problem with getting order correct after importing a cd.

Has anyone had any problems after importing a cd in to their itunes with the order of the songs not appearing correctly. Even after I double checked to make sure everything was matched up perfectly with the spelling, the tracks appear in the wrong order still. Cany anyone help me out???

Try clicking on one of the column headings to sort the playlist. I'm not in front of my Mac right now, don't recall which column provided the correct sort information.

"Date Added" sort order problem when importing folders

I sort by "Date Added" to view my iTunes library, and use the middle "view" button to view tracks grouped as albums with artwork. This works mighty well except when I'm importing folders containing the files in an album, such as those I get from eMusic--the tracks are displayed out of order when I do this. The only solution I've found so far is to import one track at a time. Any ideas how I can get those tracks in there in the right order when importing a folder? Any scripts hanging around that will do it right? Thanks to all....

What sort order do you have selecting in the sort drop-down? There is no "correct" sort order. You can sort on any metadata you can show in the Browser. The sort drop-down is located in the top border of the Browser, near the left corner. Every container in Aperture retains the sort order it last had. When you manually move an Image in the Browser, the sort order is changed to "Manual".

Frustrated and seeking help with a custom sort order...

I created a family photo album and arranged all of the pictures in a specific order and sync'd them with my iPad, unfortunately the pictures do not stay in the custom sequence.
I tried Batch renaming with a Custom Name and Index, but the renaming is applied to the pictures based on the date they were created and not by the way I have arranged them.
Is there a solution to my problem?
TIA

I flagged fifty photos and from that selection I created an album. I went to the album and dragged the photos in to the order I wanted them to appear after selecting Manual. Each time I now choose the manual option it arranges the photos into the sequence I created.
The problem I'm having is that when I synchronize my iPad with iTunes the photos revert back to their original sort order, which is the default date they were brought in to Aperture.
As I said, I tried to give them new names and index numbers using a batch command AFTER I arranged them manually, which works, however the names are assigned to the photos sequentially starting with oldest photos and not to photos as I have arranged them.
Honestly, it would be easier for me to create a slideshow using the timeline in FCP, but a video is not what I'm after.
I hope I have answered your questions.
TIA

Custom Sort Order in Dropdown list of translate values

Peoplesoft sorts the dropdown translate values in ascending order by default. I wanted to change the sort order. For example:
The translate values in alphabetic order are:
Andrea
Baluch
Others
Shumi
I want this "Others" as the last value. So the drop down should display like this:
Andrea
Baluch
Shumi
Others

From a document I had created ...
This odd behavior of PeopleTools however can be overridden by implementing a few lines of JavaScript and PeopleCode.
The approach is quite simple and summarized briefly as below:
1.     Concatenate the value-description pairs of the dropdown list into a single string separated by a pipe “|” as delimiter (in case other delimiter is used the script shown below in Step 4 has
to be accordingly modified) in the sequence in which it should be displayed on the page.
2.     While concatenating, make sure to place the value first and then the description, these being separated by the delimiter. Example: “01|”|”January”|”02|”February” …and so on.
3.     Pass this string as a parameter to an HTML definition through a GetHtmlText function. This HTML definition in turn will a have a JavaScript logic to resolve this delimited string into
meaningful value-description pairs and use them to override the intended dropdown list.
Below are the steps in detail:
Step 1:
Find out the html element-id for the dropdown field from the html source-code of the PeopleSoft page from the browser. In HTML, the tag for a dropdown field is <select> </select>
The element-id is set by the id attribute of the <select> tag. This id would be used in Step 5.
Step 2:
Add a field of type Long Character to any work record that you may be using on your page for buttons, hyperlinks, etc.
Step 3:
Add an HTML-Area to the page (preferably alongside the dropdown field which needs need to be sorted). In the properties of the HTML-Area, assign the Record-field used in Step 2 above.
Step 4:
Create a HTML definition from the app-designer and add the below JavaScript code to it and save the definition.
<script>
var j=0;
var str=new String('%bind(:2)');
ar1=str.split("|");
var fld = document.getElementById("%bind(:1)");
fld.options.length = 0;
fld.options[fld.options.length] = new Option('', '');
while (j<ar1.length)
          fld.options[fld.options.length] = new Option(ar1[j+1], ar1[j]);
                j=j+2;
</script>
Step 5:
Write peoplecode on an appropriate event to generate the concatenated string of value-descriptions delimited by a pipe “|”. A pseudocode for the same is shown below. Here the HTML id for the dropdown field and the value-description string are passed as parameters to the JavaScript shown in Step 4; and JavaScript thus created after substitution of the Bind values is assigned to the value of Record.Field used in Step 2 & 3. The location of the below peoplecode may vary depending on the when the dropdown list needs to be sorted.
Local string &strDropdownValues;
&strDropdownValues = "1|" | "January|" | "2|" | "February|" | "3|" | "March|" | "4|" | "April|" | "5|" | "May|" | "6|" | "June";
<Record.Field>.Value = GetHTMLText(<HTML.DPS_DROPDOWN_HTML>, "<DROPDOWN_ID>", &strDropdownValues);

DI custom SQLs were missing after importing a good ATL file

The customer had a strange issue recently - lots of custom SQL statements were missing when they imported a good ATL file into a brand new repository. This hasn't happened before. And they are sure that the DI repository versions are the same between the one it was exported and imported. I did some troubleshooting for them and found out:
1) The custom SQLs are intact when I opened the ATL file in a text editor. And the ATL file can be imported without any issue into other repositories.
2) Most custom SQLs are missing but not all. Some are imported OK.
3) When I opened the SQL tranform for those with missing SQLs, the textbox area for the SQL statement was blank. This caused errors in validating the job.
4) Sometimes the issue was resolved when the developer re-initialized the repository and imported the ATL again. But sometimes this strategy doesn't work - the SQL statements are still missing after the repository has been re-initialized a couple of times.
The DI version is 11.5.3 on HPUX with repository version 11.5.1.5. The repository database is either Oracle 9i or 10g.
Thanks,
Larry

The issue was resolved. The error occurred because of the database version mismatching. When the job was exported from the dev repository, datastores were excluded. The datastores in dev point to Oracle 9i sources. However, when datastores were recreated in test, some of them point to Oracle 10g sources (same database structure, just version upgrade). Therefore, when the job was exported from the test, although the datastores were still excluded, the version number "10g" were embeded in the SQL transform. This caused the SQL text to be excluded when importing ATL into the dev repository.
The action taken is to 1) delete datastores with version 10g; 2) create one with version 9i; 3) then exported the job into a new ATL. The new ATL can be imported into the dev repository without any issue.
Thanks,
Larry

Custom sort order?

Hi,
I'd like to be able to sort my itunes library by album artist album, then track no. This so that I can use coverflow to browse my music in artist order rather then in album order
But Itunes seems to insist on sorting by album artist then album and artist. I've tried moving and removing columns but this has no effect.
Is there any way I can get Itunes to sort the library in the way that I want?
Thanks

Howdy, craig
Quote: "trouble is that now the images are renumbered in the Capture Time order, it is hard to tell what images are from what camera. can I sort by Serial Number then?"
In the mean time you might consider selecting Image Date and select the B&W photos and keyword them as such which can be easily done with a Lift & Stamp "keywords".
EDIT: what ian said and I would like to add that the column list categories are draggable so you can click drag Serial so it sits as your second column.

Sort order by custom comparable logic

Hi All,
Is it possible to sort the records from NamedCache.entrySet() by implementing Comparable<T> in my pojo?
Thanks,

user1096084 wrote:
Thanks for your quick response.
My requirement is to fetch objects without filter but with custom sort order and
I couldn't find any method in QueryMap for this purpose.
What will be result if implement Comparable interface in object?Hi,
1. You can always use AlwaysFilter.INSTANCE for filtering.
2. You can use a parallel aggregator to parallelly presort objects and also limit the number of objects you fetch.
Implementing Comparable with the objects allows you to call entrySet(Filter, Comparator) with null for comparator. The method entrySet() without parameters or the entrySet(Filter) do not sort regardless of whether your objects implement comparable or not.

BUG TEST: Duplicate Stacks in Custom-Sorted Albums?

Before I submit this as an official bug report (through both the ADC site and the regular Feedback page), I’d be grateful to anyone who could take the time to try and replicate this strange behavior.
(I’ve been able to reproduce it on machines in two different Apple Stores, but I’d like to see if it’s as easy to reproduce on other people’s home systems as well.)
Here are the steps which seem to consistently work (i.e. which cause the problem) on my Mac Pro (running the latest version of Aperture under OS X 10.5.6):
1) Create a new Album (from any arbitrary selection of a few pics from any Project); the Album can be at any level in the Inspector’s Projects pane, either within a particular Project or off in a separate Folder;
2) Give that Album a name (don’t just leave as the default “Untitled”);
3) View the Album’s contents in “Browser Only” mode, so you can see all its thumbs (this step isn’t necessary; it just makes what’s about to happen easier to see);
4) The Album’s sorting order (the pull down list in the upper left) should be at the default setting of “Image Date”; change this option to “Custom” by dragging a few of the thumbs around to different positions. This step is critical.
5) Now that your Album’s initial contents have been moved around to create a Custom sort order, make some selections of images from other Projects and add them to the new Album by dragging the selection onto the new Album’s name in the Inspector’s Projects pane...
BUT FIRST... make sure these new selections include Stacks, and aren’t just single images only.
If you’ve done all of the above steps -- and it may take a couple of tries -- re-select the new Album in the Inspector and see if there are MULTIPLE COPIES of the Stacks which just got dragged into it. There may be two copies of each Stack, or sometimes even more. And if there are copies, you won’t be able to simply delete the extra ones from the Album. The only two options you have (short of an Undo) are:
a) Change the Album’s sort order to something other than “Custom” (which only helps until you switch it back to Custom again); or
b) Un-Stack then re-select and Re-Stack each unique Stack which now appears two or more times;
...neither of which is a particularly acceptable workaround.
If even just a couple of users can replicate this bug, I’ll at least know it isn’t just a bizarre coincidence between me and two separate Apple Stores when I write it up and submit it. Or if this is an already acknowledged and well-reported bug, please let me know that as well!
Many thanks,
John Bertram

I'm afraid I have an additional twist. In addition to multiple stack (sometimes 5-6 extras) I have "blanks": dotted rectangles. These have no thumbs, and the thumbs won't re-build. Oddly, if I click on the blank, dotted rectangle, a preview does appear after several seconds of a blank gray screen. The files are managed, and if I search "show in finder," they files are found. But there seems to be no way to make the thumbs appear.
I have tried changing the sort order from "custom," but it doesn't affect the blanks.
I've copied these stacks to a new project, and (I think) isolated the problem, but there are 800 of them and I don't relish re-importing them all.
I have wasted days on this problem over the past months, and am very unhappy with this "professional" application.
