'Film Rolls' View loses sort order when finding photos via Keywords or text

I have my iPhoto Library sorted by Film Roll so when I select 'Library' in the source list I see my rolls listed in date order in the viewing area.
If I try and find photos using the keywords pane or the search field the rolls which match are displayed in the viewing area but the order they are listed is no longer according to their date but some (seemingly) random order.
Does anyone else have this problem?

I find that if I have my rolls sorted by Film roll and Ascending (by roll date) the keyword search results will have the rolls in the correct chronological order.
However if I change the sort order to Descending , the search order remains as Ascending by roll date.
If you create a Smart album for a keyword search then you can sort the photos by any criteria you'd like: Date, Keyword (redundant), Rating or Title and Ascending or Descending.

  • Playlists lose sort order when burning to CD

    I have several MP3 tracks I need to burn to MP3 CD, and they need to appear in order. I've tagged the MP3 files using XLD (track name/number, etc). I followed the Apple Support Guidelines for burning playlists with a particular sort order. I've tried all 3 methods, including manually dragging the files into the correct order and right-clicking/choosing "Copy to Play Order". The playlist appears in the correct order, however when I go ahead and burn the CD, the contents of the disc appear out of iTunes, regardless of what I do. I've looked all over Google and found people with similar issues to mine but, as of yet, no workable solution.

    Has anyone been able to solve this maddening problem? I can't understand why iTunes doesn't sort the disc in alphabetical ascending order. The MP3 files are all tagged sequentially, starting with track number – so why does track 5 appear first in the playlist order? My only other alternative to burning with iTunes is to use Toast, which produces MP3 CDs that don't mount in iTunes. A quick search of the forums proves I'm not the only person having these problems.

  • Sorting manually within film roll view

    is there any way to sort my photos manually (move them around in prefered order) within the film roll view?
    just started using the film roll view. and i love it, all exept that it will only sort by date and i can not move photos around with in the fill roll. only thing i've figured out is to change the date/time manually for each photo. that's a lot of extra work. any way around it?

    [email protected]:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can't sort manually within a roll. You can within Albums or in the entire library with Rolls tuned off.
    NOTE: It's not wise to use your email address either as your alias or placed in any post. Spammers sweep thru forums like this to harvest any email addresses to use. Since you only have a couple of posts I suggest you create a new account with a different alias and let this one die on the vine. You cannot change the alias of an account. The software isn't setup for it.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.

  • List of found events changes sort order when pasted from clipboard

    when I find a set of events in iCal, the list appears in the window at the bottom of the page in the correct sort order when sorted by date, title or type. When I then copy that list to the clipboard and paste it into another program (Pages, MacJournal, TextEdit) the sort order changes.
    I work mostly in English, but my macbookpro keyboard is German, so I assume the problem is with the language settings. I've tried changing the system preferences for language and sort order, and that changes the sort order, but it doesn't get it right.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Why does iPhoto change the sort order of the photos in my album when I attempt to share via Photo Stream?

    Why does iPhoto change the sort order of the photos in my album when I attempt to share via Photo Stream?

    Did anyone find a good way to sort the shared albums better, so that the ones you share with can better find their way around.
    You can arrange them manually in an album, select all and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date to menu option and check the box to add a set interval between photos. That will let the photos be sorted by date and be in the order you want:

  • E66: Configuring contact sort order when composing...

    Dear friends,
    This is probably a silly issue but still, I can't find a solution... I have upgraded my aging Nokia E66 RM-343 to 400.21.013 (this version was suggested by the Nokia Suite and it keeps telling me that this is the latest version). After the upgrade and restoring the phone settings, I am having problems with the contacts sort order when choosing recipients for an SMS message.
    I have configured the contact list for the "Last Name First Name" display order, and when making a voice call, the sort order is correct - the contacts are sorted by the last name. However, when writing an SMS message and choosing the recipients, the contact list is displayed in the "Last Name, First Name" mode but it is sorted by the first name which is extremely confusing and inconvenient.
    I just do not seem to be able to find where the sort order for the contact list as displayed when composing an SMS message can be configured. Anyone have any suggestion/hint? Thank you very much in forward!
    Best regards,
    Peter

    Unfortunately, the 6230i seems to have only one field for the contact name, so it has no way of knowing what is what. I guess the only thing you can do is reinput all the names manually.

  • Sort Order in Finder

    Hi all,
    I've got a very easy question, but didn't found a solution. How can I change sort order in finder in Snow Leopard to bring the folders to the top?
    Kind Regards, Chrischmi

    There is no known trick to do that? I just found some for Leopard, but they seem not to work in Snow Leopard. I can't believe, that such a basic functionality is not available by default. I thought, I would be just too blind to find it.
    Grouping is helpful, but a workaround only. Thanks for that hint, Matt!
    Anyone else with an idea?

  • Automatic refresh of photo order when changing photo titles in iPhoto 9.6

    I've just moved from an older version of iPhoto to 9.6.
    In the previous version, when you changed the title of a photo (within an event), the sort order of the photos was automatically and immediately updated.  In 9.6 it isn't - I have to do View - Sort Photos then select another sort criteria (e.g. date), then do this again for title, to get the photo order to refresh.
    Does anyone know if I am I stuck with this new (retrograde) behaviour, or if there's a way to get iPhoto 9.6 to automatically refresh the photo order?
    Otherwise, is there a keyboard shortcut for refreshing the photo order, or for changing the view - sort photos criteria?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    It will resort if you leave the Event (click All Events button) and then go back.  Not a good solution but quicker IMO than using the View ➙ Sort menu method.

  • How to change sort order when viewing all tracks by an artist?

    When I choose:
    Music --> Artists --> <any artist> --> All
    The tracks are organized in the order they apear in an alphabetized list of that artist's albums.
    For example:
    Joe Blow - CD 1
    Track 1
    Track 2
    Track 3
    Joe Blow - CD 2
    Track 1
    Track 2
    Track 3
    In the "All Songs By Artist" list, the songs appear as:
    Track 1
    Track 2
    Track 3
    Track 1
    Track 2
    Track 3
    How can I cange the sort order, so that they are sorted alphabetically, like this?
    Track 1
    Track 1
    Track 2
    Track 2
    Track 3
    Track 3
    Thanks,

    I'm pretty sure you can't do that.

  • How do I get Iphoto to preserve the sort order when I transfer an album?

    Here's my problem. I carefully sorted my album of 230 photos manually. Each photo was then numbered from 1 to 230.   Then I used IPhoto Library Manager to transfer this album someplace else -- to my desktop, to a thumb drive, to Dropbox---   In every case, when I did that, the photos themselves transfered just fine,  but the sort order I had so carefully constructed has fallen apart and cannot by retrieved. Even  when I  close and then reopen an Album I have transferred to my Desktop, it loses its sort order.  This is driving my crazy  because I need to transfer this album so that it preserves the slideshow I have designed for it. A slideshow, of course, demands preserving the order of the slides.
    In short, how can I preserve the sort order of an album when I transfer it out of one library to another?

    If you're transferring to another library, why are you exporting to the Finder (which is what Desktop, thumbdrive and DropBox are). This doesn’t understand manual sorting from iPhoto.
    Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
    Make an Album of the photos, then drag the pics into your preferred order.
    Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
    Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
    Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

  • Changing sort order in Finder to display folder first

    In almost every other release of OS X there was a tweak to edit the frameworks so that you could have finder, when sorting by "Kind/Type"you could display folders first. Well of course they broke that in Leopard.
    Has anyone discovered a way to reinstate this nice little feature so that folders don't appear at the bottom of the list view but at the TOP like PathFinder?
    For those that are curious here WAS the "tweak" (go to System: Library: Frameworks: ApplicationServices.framework: Versions: A: Frameworks: LaunchServices.framework: Versions: A: Resources. Whew. Within that folder, you’ll see the English.lproj folder. Highlight it, and then select File: Get Info. In the Ownership & Permissions area, click on the Details triangle, click on the lock icon, and then click on the Owner pop-up menu and set it to your user name (enter your password if asked). Leave this window open; you’ll be changing it back in just a minute.
    Inside the English.lproj folder is a file named Localized.strings. Drag it onto TextEdit. Find the line that reads "Folder" = "Folder"; and insert a space before the F in the second Folder.)
    TIA,
    Peter

    Hi VFRJOEY,
    there is no way to change the sort order in column-view. This was under discussion since the very first release of MacOS X but never made it into any one of the releases.

  • Maintaining iPhoto sort order when sending to iDVD

    Hello - I have a few iPhoto Events I'd like to put on a DVD as separate chapters.
    However, the sorting order I set when viewing Events (using the title) is not preserved when I send them to iDVD. iDVD seems to get them sorted by file name.
    A work-around is to export the slides by title (not file name) then re-import them into iDVD but this takes time and brain power.
    Is there a faster way to preserve the viewing order when sending iPhoto Event pictures to iDVD?
    All help gratefully received.
    David.

    David,
    Create an Album in iPhoto (one for each slideshow) and arrange it the way you want. The Media Pane in iDVD should see the Albums and let you select one. You can drag a whole album into the Slideshow creation window and iDVD will import it, preserving the album order.
    Regards.

  • 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.

  • Sort order from NAT rules via CLI

    Hi all,
    im a newbie here and i have my first question. Hope you can help me to find a solution.
    Is there a way to change the order of NAT statements via CLI in Cisco ASA IOS 9.1 ?
    By ASDM i can change the order and bring them up and down to the place where i must have them, but i found no way to do this via CLI.
    Any Ideas?
    Greetings from germany
    Marco

    You would need to remove the NAT statements and then re-add them in the order you want them to appear.  The ASDM does it the same way but makes it easier by you just having to move the NAT rule to where you want it and apply...the ASDM does the rest.  If you set your ASDM to show the commands before they are applied you will see how the ASDM does this.  The setting is under Tool > Preferences and select Preview commands before sending them to the device

  • Entering Message when Sharing Photos via E-mail

    Just loaded PS Elements v11. Have used PS  Elements v7-9 previously. When sharing photos using e-mail (comcast.net) as attachments and photo mail, I was able to enter a message to recipient before sending the e-mail. In Elements 11, in area where text can be entered, I cannot get a cursor to type a message. The phrase, Here are photos....., is embedded there and can't even erase. Area is frozen to using a cursor. Sending the e-mail is no problem. Would appreciate help so I can start sharing photos. Thank you.

      I think there is some kind of scripting bug in PSE11 when sharing photos by email but there is a work around.
    Select your thumbnails and click Share >> Photomail
    Then choose your contact and continue.
    After choosing stationery, click next step.
    In the next dialog (customize & layout) click on the text dropdown and change from Arial to Times New Roman (may not be essential but it works for me).
    Then click next.
    When the email appears you should now be able to select (click until a bounding box appears around the text like that of a picture) and delete all the Adobe automatic text, leaving only the photo(s). Delete the web link and text below the photo using the backspace key. You should now be able to add your own text.
    Then hit send.
    I can’t guarantee it will work on your system but it works on windows Vista and it’s worth trying.
