Date sorting enigma

Within library, I view photos as film rolls and these sort by date.
Also, I like to keep each roll as its own 'event' rather than just different import dates. By this I mean, if within a bunch of photographs I have two events lets say, such as birthday party and a wedding, I will import these independently such that 2 film rolls will show, and I can then label each independtly.
This worked fine when I could mount the camera drive onto the desktop and then select manually the photos to import. However, now that I have a Canon the mounting is no longer possible. Consequently, I have to import all photographs first, select the ones that I wish to keep seperated, drag them bag to the desktop (and delete the ones in iPhoto) then reimport them again. This then creates the new film roll as desired.
The problem I have today however, is that the 2nd import shows above the the 1st import eventhough the date is 'older'. ie each photo of the 2nd import were taken after the ones from the 1st but as a film roll it appears above. Any thoughts??
Many thanks,
Leo

Two solutions:
1. You can still create a new roll, and you don't have to go through all those hoops. Simply, in Library View, select a single pic from - say - the Wedding shots, and go File -> Create Film Roll. You can then drag and drop the remaining shots from the Birthday Roll to the Wedding Roll. Note though, that the Create Film Roll command is only available in the Library (not, in albums, or rolls) and you must have at least a single pic selected.
You can edit the title and dates of a Film Roll using the info panel (bottom left hand corner, the wee 'i' button.
2. Finally, if you use Image Capture, you can select which files to upload to the desktop - into separate folders if you wish - and afterwards import them into iPhoto. You can use the Preferences in Image Capture to nominate it to open when you connect the camera rather than iPhoto. Image Capture is in your Applications folder.

Help needed in Sorting Columns (date sorts alphabetically)

Hi All,
I have a report query as follows:
select to_date(period,'MON-YYYY') start_date
,exp_type
,id
,acct_ref
,dept_ref
,item_date
,amt
from test;
I need to display the report in the same order as select statement (start_date,exp_type,id etc). I have given default sort order in report attributes and user enabled sort on all columns. The report attributes look as shown below:
column_name / sort / sort_seq
start_date / yes / 3
exp_type / yes / 1
id / yes / -
acct_ref / yes / -
dept_ref / yes / 2
item_date / yes / 4
Now my problem is that the start date sorts alphabetically (as varchar) instead of chronologically (date wise). How can I resolve this?
If I change my default sort order so that start_date is sorted 1st, it works perfectly fine. Is there any restriction for APEX sort that says the column displayed needs to be sorted in the same order? How do I overcome it? Or is it possible to overcome it?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sumana

Hi,
Thanks. But no I cannot change it to date, as there are many applications using it for displaying the period. But I found an equivalent date column for that period and tried using that. It was not working.
I did further analysis and found that even to_char(period) works fine. The problem was something else. In my region query the select statement was
select exp_type
,id
,amt
,to_date(period,'MON-YYYY')
from test.
I then had in region attributes used the arrows to change order of display, so that period appears first. That was the culprit. When I change my region query, to match the order in region attributes the date column as well as to_date(period) both work fine.
I never knew that the order of select statement and that in region attributes should match each other!!! And hence when posting I did not give importance to the order of my select list. Sorry for that.
The mystery is how was it working when i changed the sort order to say "period" 1st and then exp_type (2nd)
Thanks everyone for you help.
Thanks,
Sumana

when i sort the grid column StartDate , it is doing to text sort instead of date sort, did anybody else face the same issue?

I'm still getting the same effect. I added a mask and the data still
sorts as if it is a string. Both date columns are Oracle date types.
<cfgridcolumn name="TASKNAME" header="Type" width="200">
<cfgridcolumn name="ORIG_StartDate" mask="Y/m/d" type="date" header="Start Date" width="200">
<cfgridcolumn name="ORIG_ENDDATE" mask="Y/m/d" type="date" header="End Date" width="200">

30EA2 - SQL-Developer 3.0.02 Another Table Data Sort Order Bug

Although the "30EA1 - SQL-Developer 3.0.02 Table Data Sort Order Bug" still exists in 30EA2, there is a new substantial mistake.
How to see it:
Open table1 (Preference "Automatically Freeze Object Viewer Windows" is set). Click data.
Open table2. Click data.
Go back to table1. Click Sort. => You see the columns of table2. The is no way to sort table1, before you close the table2 window (tab).

Date Sort inside For Each

Hi I am trying to date sort inside for each but it is not working i am using below code
<?for-each:G_3?><?sort:BEG_DT;'ascending';data-type='text'?>BEG_DT END_DT <?end for-each?>
Can any one please let me know how to solve this?
Thanks in Advance
Have a nIce Day.

depends on the format you have in the BEG_DT, if its not in YYYY-MM-DD, you may see some different order.
All sorting works well if you use the date in canonical format.
if you want to force to code., then do this.
<?sort:concat(substring(BEG_DT,7,4),substring(BEG_DT,1,2),substring(BEG_DT,4,2),'0');'descending';data-type='number'?>

Date sort is broken in the Organizer

The date sort in the Organizer only seems to support the calendar date, not date and time.
If there is only photographs from 1 day in the organizer there is no way to sort the pictures earliest to oldest, because the date sort doesn't include time.
Does anyone know of a work around for this "oversight'?

Walter,
Normally, the Organizer sorts by both date and time, as the following screenshot shows:
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1vTZOWOZI3YL32V793Nk5whXHD22zF0
Which view are you in? Do Show All followed by Display > Thumbnail View. Are the photos not sorted by date and time? Perhaps you could upload a screenshot to www.pixentral.com (free) to show what you're seeing. (Don't attach it to your reply using Attach Files, since that's currently broken.)

Date sorting issue

Check out the date sorting problems here:
http://ray.camdenfamily.com/spry/blog2.cfm
It seems almost random.

Yup the JS Date object is reporting that the date format is
invalid in both IE and Firefox. We may have to add code to manually
parse date formats. I've added that to the list of things we have
to do.
Ray, what are you using to generate your date format?
The good news is the way your dates are formatted, it will
sort properly using straight text sorting. If you leave off your
setColumnType call for the date it sorts properly.

Data sort in Related information on object detail page.

hi,
Question, how is data sorted on the related information on the detail page(opportunity)in R16
Based on ?
a. created date,
b. modified date
c. last viewed record,
d. last edited record.
e. solution if any?
Looking forward for your valued suggestion. any document aviable for this ?
Thanks & Regards
[email protected]

My observation is (from Account RI)
- Contacts - based on Record Association Date)
- Activities - Due Date
- SR - Opened Time
- Opportunity & CO's - Name
I have not seen any document on this. But it would be nice if we can change the sort order. (only allow on Indexed fields as this may affect the performance)

Line graph date sorting and formatting

Hi Gurus
We've recently upgraded to 11.1.1.7 and noticed that our Publisher line charts with date on the x-axis are no longer sorting correctly i.e. May comes before March. The reason for this is because in <11.1.1.7 we have a formatted date mask (to_char) in our data model but sorted by the underlying canonical date which worked. Now in 11.1.1.7 it is no longer sorting by the data model sort but by the formatted date string therefore numeric values of 30 April sorted after 1 May.
We have tried a number of options to resolve:
1. using the canonical date and sorting on that corrects the sort problem but the default formatting used in long YYYY-MM-DDT00:00:00-00:00 and not readable as our chart is showing daily totals. Changing to time-series chart can allow you to format the date but see problem 2 next...
2. Time series = yes doesn't display the chart if we have a number of entities in our series i.e. multiple lines and the interactive viewer shows a red error icon. I think this may be due to the fact that our date range is not continuous ie we have a sparse data set.
3. Workaround we used was a bar chart (our users preference is line charts) with time series = false but the date format is still long.
Any advice / suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks
Nick.

for #1: numbers does what is called a "stable" sort. Meaning that the previous sort order is preserved. i.e. do your sort in reverse order. Amount, then name, then date. Just did it with sample data and it was perfect. It keeps them in the original order, so if there is a match in name after you sort, you should see the amount still in the proper order.
#2: What in your formula isnt working? I just made a formula that did math on the columns to the left, sorted and it worked. Sorted by static data columns and the formula column. I know it was broken originally, years ago, but it seems to be working correctly now, at least in my quick test. You might have an issue if you are using formulas that refer to data on other rows or tables.
#3: yeah formatting can be a pain. But it is easier to do in the desktop program. No, you cannot get it for windows, sorry. If the formatting the only thing you need to do on the desktop side, then i dont see much tying you to it. I do 90% or more on the ipad and iphone now.

Web gallery is no longer date sorted?

Hi all,
Hopefully this should be an easy one for you to help me with...
- I have a web gallery via iPhoto '08 of my twins for all the relatives to see. If I look at the web gallery album in iPhoto, the photos are sorted in date order which I have selected to do so.
- However, if I access this gallery over the web the photos are not in date order, so now I have pictures of my little ones at 3 months, intermingled with photos of them at birth. All very confusing for the eager viewers.
How do I fix this so it will always be sorted by date?
Thanks in advance.
Dan.

Dan:
Yes, there's a "quirk" in that. Here's how to get around it. Sort the gallery in iPhoto by date and then move one photo to another position and then back again. Hit the publish button and the online gallery should update to the order that's in iPhoto.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Date Sorting is not working as expected

Hey,
I am using Report builder 3.0 to create one daily report where I need daily metrics and I am putting it under columns. I want it in day wise order but somehow it shows data in below format. My dates are in M/D/YYYY format. Notice how 1/10 is displayed
before 1/2.
Solutions tried -
1. I tried Putting Date as first thing in the Sorting section on matrix.
2. Created Expression in Sort =Day(Fields!Date.Value)
3. Created custom code to prepond 0 to day and month so dates becomes in MM/DD/YYYY format but it is not working.
Query -
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Work Item Count] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ([Work Item].[System_State].[System_State].ALLMEMBERS * [Date].[Date].[Date].ALLMEMBERS ) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOMEMBER(@FromDateDate,

FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS
Replaced alphanumeric char with #### above.
Nothing worked. Please help me out here. I am stuck for a month or so. Would appreciate your prompt response.
Thanks in advance,
Shrikant

Hi Shrikant,
Per my understanding that you have some problem when sorting on the column group on the matrix, which don't work, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can't produce the issue, you issue can be caused by the wrong method you have used to setting the sorting, you may set the sorting by select the "Tablix Properties", if so, it will not work.
Please reference to the details information below about how to do the sorting setting:
Right click the "Column Group" and select the "Group Properties".
Select the Sorting on the left pane and do the setting like below:
This setting works fine on my side.
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Using Image Capture to download photos from iPhone--Date Sort

Hi,
I have over 2000 photos on my 3G iPhone and I use Image Capture on the Mac to pull them off.
Since I have so many photos going back a couple years, the file names have repeated, so if I sort by File Name, stuff from last year is mixed in with this year, etc.
Also, if I sort by date, Image Capture sorts by MONTH-DAY-YEAR, therefore my latest photos are NOT at the top/botttom of the list!
How can I change the date format in Image Capture so that I can sort by YEAR first?
Thanks!

OK, here is my new strategy:
A new feature of Snow Leopard OSX 10.6 is that Image Capture (and iPhoto) will put a green check mark next to any photos already downloaded. Therefore, it makes it much much easier to figure out the new from the old.
In addition to that, I went into my iPhone using PhoneView and reset the images back to IMG_00001. This required me to get rid of my thousands of photos on the iPhone, but oh well.
So starting over seemed to be the best way to manage this mess.

Finder Window vs. File Dialog Date Sort Reversal

After switching to 10.4 I noticed that all of a sudden the file dialog's sort by date icon convention was reversed (and reversed from that found in the Finder).
What I mean is, the little triangle that determines whether you are sorting in ascending or descending order is upside down with respect to its function, but only in file dialogs.
Convention dictates that when sorting by date, showing the triangle with the point facing down puts the newest items on top. I am not sure if that is descending or ascending. I never could sort out that language. Anyhow, the Finder obeys this convention, but my file dialogs do not. Here are two images that illustrate the problem:
Finder (correct):
File Dialog (incorrect):
Anyone know what's wrong here?
PowerMac G4 (AGP Graphics) Mac OS X (10.4.3) Sonnet 1.25GHz processor upgrade card

Interesting. Looks like it's a bug specific to Navigation Services, which Carbon applications like FireFox use for Open and Save panels.
While they are made to look and function as similar as possible, the Finder, NavigationServices, and NSOpenPanel/NSSavePanel are all different things. As I mentioned, Navigation Services is what Carbon applications use, while Cocoa applications use NSOpenPanel and NSSavePanel. The apps that Michael tested are Cocoa apps which don't appear to have the problem.
I'll file a bug on it when I get a chance.
