GAL Sort Order is ignoring the hyphen?

Greetings,
In our GAL, we're making liberal use of the dash/hyphen character to help with spacing. However, we're seeing interesting behavior, where the character is effectively ignored.
For Example, because we're multi-site, we start distribution lists with a site label, and then name groups. Like, My Company site A would be: MCA-Groupname. Unfortunately, we're finding that the hyphen is ignored and messing with our
desired sort order.
Example:
MC-Accounts Payable (All company AP)
MCA-Finance (Site Finance Group)
MCB-Finance (Site Finance Group)
MC-Finance (All company Finance Group)
Ideally, it'd be nice if the MC- groups were all together. There's some older KB's that say that hyphens are "last" when collating when everything is equal, but these names aren't equal (https://support.microsoft.com/kb/305704?wa=wsignin1.0).
Is there anything we can do from exchange our Outlook to obtain our desired results?
Our environment is Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2010 and 2013.
Thanks for looking!

Hi BlueKnigh7,
I find it should be a by design behavior after some tests:
1. I create the same 4 groups as yours in my lab, the order is as below, just the same as you find:
MC-Accounts Payable (All company AP)
MCA-Finance (Site Finance Group)
MCB-Finance (Site Finance Group)
MC-Finance (All company Finance Group)
2. Then when I check in Address Boob, still the same order:
So just as you find and described in the KB article, it’s should be a by design behavior.
Best Regards,
Eric Zou

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?

Sort order in list wrong: in CAML and in view

Hello,
When I order my list with document sets by ID, the order is wrong. It is wrong in the list and with caml.
This is my view (I just set the sort on the ID column):
The first 4 objects are created by the Client Object Model; the last 4 are created by a SharePoint webpart that I developped myself...
My code for creating document sets in COM is something like this:
ListItemCreationInformation newItemInfo = new ListItemCreationInformation
UnderlyingObjectType = FileSystemObjectType.Folder,
LeafName = _strLeafname // = date in format YYYYMMDDhhmmss
ListItem newListItem = myList.AddItem(newItemInfo);
newListItem["ContentTypeId"] = targetDocumentSetContentType.Id.ToString();
newListItem["Title"] = title;
newListItem.Update();
clientContext.Load(myList);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
The code in the webpart is this:
SPContentType docsetCt = myLst.ContentTypes[p.GetFromResourcefile("xxxxxxxxxxxxxx")];
Hashtable properties = new Hashtable
{"DocumentSetDescription", ""},
{"Title", txtTitle.Text}
SPFolder parentFolder = myLst.RootFolder;
int newId = GetLastId(myLst) + 1;
DocumentSet ds = DocumentSet.Create(parentFolder, newId.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture), docsetCt.Id, properties, true);
ds.Item["Title"] = title
ds.Item.Update();
why is the sort order wrong?
if i do this query in the U2U Caml builder, the order is also wrong
<OrderBy><FieldRef Name='ID' Ascending='FALSE' /></OrderBy>
if i order by "created", the order is also wrong....
i don't get it....

Document Sets are great tools for grouping multiple documents together. However, if every set has exactly one document, it would be better to just upload the file and not place it within a Document Set:

If you have requirements to use Document Sets, keep in mind that this adds a layer of complexity beyond a simple Document Library. Behind the scenes, each Document Set is treated as a separate folder, and although can you query items within it, there might
be extra steps for getting the sort order to ignore the folder structure. Can you try setting the Scope to be "Recursive" and also specify that you are looking only for files and not folders:
<Eq><FieldRef Name='FSObjType'/><Value Type='Lookup'>1</Value></Eq></Where>

Sort order of text is not as expected

Hi
I need to sort a characteristic by its medium text in BEX (3.5.). However, the sort order is not as expected: uppercase letters are sorted first when selecting ascending order:
AAA
AXZ
Abc
BBB
Baa
Bbb
But this only applies when I use language=EN. For other languages defined in our system (fx. DE), the sort order is ignoring the cases:
AAA
Abc
AXZ
Baa
BBB
Bbb
The user wants that texts is sorted like this.
I have read note 952625 on sort collation sequences. And now I wonder if
a) The standard sort collation sequence for English is different from fx. German og Danish.
b) We have a different setting somewhere (locale setup) that generates these differences.
Our BW system is technical 7.0, but most of our cubes are still 3.5 and also our BEX is still running 3.5.
OS = AIX, Unicode systems=no. Database = DB6.
Best regards and thanks in advance for any reply

Add_item : Attributes list collection sort order

Hello:
I created multiple custom attributes and added them to my custom item type. I need to apply these attributes while adding an item programmatically.
1) How do i define the order of the Attributes list via the Portal builder so as to match the corresponding values read from a list/table,etc. ?
2) The ordering arrow buttons in the attribute list of my custom item type does not match the result set from my query. I tried all options of "order by" clause. Here is the query - (componenttype is the name of my custom item type)
select iatts.ID
,atts.caid
     ,atts.DATA_TYPE
     ,atts.CAID
     ,atts.NAME,atts.DISPLAY_NAME
     ,iatts.ITEM_TYPE_ID
from wwsbr_item_types itypes
,wwsbr_item_type_attributes iatts
,wwsbr_attributes atts
where --itypes.caid = 133
itypes.name like 'ComponentType'
and itypes.ID = iatts.ITEM_TYPE_ID
and iatts.ATTRIBUTE_ID = atts.ID
--and atts.CAID = 133
order by atts.id
3) I need to expect a certain order of the attribute ids, when bulk collecting into the attributes array, in order to populate the values collection in the same. So, how do I determine the order of the attributes ids ?
4) Is there a better way to do this ?
Thank You.
regards
Ananth

Sort order in the Busines Model layer

HI,
When you specify a sort order in the Busines Model layer, it is ignored on Pivot Tables. Can we please get Pivot Tables to use the sort order specified in the BM layer?
Thanks and Regards

-- Can we please get Pivot Tables to use the sort order specified in the BM layer?
If it doesn't work, please try to
1) add the column in pivot table on which the sorting is based.
2) hide it and
3) place it at the beginning in the rows section.

Sort order in iCloud shared photo stream

I have an album of photos in iPhoto v9.5.1 which I want to share using the iCloud shared photo stream. I've carefully sorted the photos in the album. But when I create and send the invite for the shared photo stream, it automatically re-orders the photos by date and greys out in the menu all other sorting orders. In other words it entirely ignores the work I put into creating the sort order.
Is there a fix?

please apple tell me what I have to pay for that a better solution? I will do it! Photostream makes sense only with possibilties to sort the photos inside a stream! and to sort the streams !! you did such a great job with icloud and photo stream - but it is not finished!!!!
Thanks a lot in advance!
You are trying to use Shared Photo Streams as shared Photo albums or slideshows, but they are intended as communication channels, not as online albums. If you treat them as streams, as they are intended to be used, it makes perfectly sense, that the images appear in the order they have been added. Drop a photo into the stream, your friend will send a different photo back, etc. Any other sort order would make the streaming cumbersome, when the stream gets long. You will want to see the most recently added photo at the head of the stream, to see immediately what is new. iPhoto on iOS device has web journals and slideshows to share online with friends, but in iPhoto on a Mac these are still missing.
I'd like to encourage you to send feedback about the usuability to the developers. After all, right now the iCloud drive and the new Photos.app for storing photos in the cloud is under developement. Since nothing at all has been announced yet how this feature will integrate with iPhoto and Aperture on a Mac, feedback will be very useful.

Album Sort Order in iTunes vs iPod

WIth the newer Versions of iTunes, albums are sorted in alphabetical order ignoring the word "The". (i.e. On iTunes the following albums would be in this order: Sub Songs, The Super Songs, Suzy Music where on my iPod, the following albums would be placed in this order: Sub Songs, Suzy Music, The Super Songs lumping all "The" titles amongst the Ts.) Does anyone know why this sort feature is not the same on iPod AND iTunes? Please advise.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 14"

Sorting has become a complete mess. Though, it's quite logical from Apple to sort albums by ignoring the because it makes searching for albums a lot easier since there are numerous albums (and artists) beginning with that word.
But I guess that an answer to your question can only be given by an Apple engineer who makes iPod software.

MobileMe Gallery sort order

When i access my MobileMe Gallery through my MacBook Air using Firefox, the sort order of the albums, and the sort order of the photos within the albums are correctly sorted just the way I want them.
However when I use ATV 2 to view my MobileMe Gallery on TV, the albums and the photos within the albums are not in the same sort order as seeing the Gallery with my computer. Any help is appreciated!

I have noticed the same thing. I have MobileMe albums set to sort by date in iPhoto, the photos are sorted by date when I view the album on various computers, including Windows PCs, they are sorted by date in the Gallery app on my iPhone, but when I look at them via Apple TV 2 over the Internet they are randomized. I have tried everything including deleting and re-uploading the albums and nothing has worked. I am hoping it is some glitch that will be fixed in the next iOS update. For me at least, it seems Apple TV gets them right if the album is really small, say less than 20 pics or so, but as soon as it gets any bigger the photos are randomized.

Wrong sort order for rapid sequences of images

When I have a sequence of shots taken at high speed, i.e. a number of them have the same timestamp, being taken within the same second, I find that LR displays some of them out of order. For instance, I have a sequence of 5 frames all with timestamp 9/4/07 2:17:32pm and the file names show up in this order - 1740, 1742, 1741, 1743, 1744 (these are the file names assigned by the camera)
The frames show in this order with any of the sort order options selected except, of course, File Name, and in that one instance they display in the correct order.
Is there a way I can specify in LR that I want to sort in Capture Time order then within that in file name order? This would give me the result I want. The reason I don't want to simply use file name order is that with images from different cameras with differing file naming conventions, or with file names I may have applied, that would not give me correct time sequence as shot. I want to see a whole day's images in correct time sequence regardless of file name.
If there is not a way to specify this in LR, should I add this to the Feature Request list?

Capture Time and Import Order do the same thing.
Additional information - I see the same wrong sequence is presented in the import dialog when I try to import the same photos again (they happen to still be on the card). So, I think it is initially caused by the order that the camera lays down the photos in the file structure on the card, or in the way that Windows reads them off the disk. (I have a Canon EOS 30D, SanDisk CF card, using a card reader rather than plugging the camera to the PC.)
If I use the import dialog's renaming process (in my test I chose filename - sequence) and apply a sequence number to the images the sequence number ends up wrong. So LR is importing the photos in the wrong order (may not be LR's fault?)
So, this modifies the definition of the problem and of the feature request. No longer is it simply the sort order displayed in the library; it needs to be addressed at import time as well.
Here is my attempt to redefine the feature request:
- when importing images that are taken in rapid sequence (multiple shots within the same second) LR should allow for sorting the images by camera-derived file name to correct out-of-sequence delivery from the card/camera. This sort order, when selected, should re-arrange the preview thumbnails so the photographer can verify the images will be imported in the correct order.

ATV 4.4.2 photo sort order problem

I have just updated my Apple TV (I believe it is now 4.4.2)
When I view my photo albums, the sort order is not the same as that in my iPhoto.
It was before the update.
I resorted the albums again in iPhoto, they look just right on my MBP. They also look exactly the way I wanted it on my iPad2 and my iPod. But on Apple TV, it's all wrong again.
I have invited friends over this weekend for a presentation that I want to show them slides on the Apple TV. I am dead meat now. Please advise.
Thank you in advance.
Eddie

I did some additional testing using my Apple TV (1st generation) and my Windows 7 computer, and this is what I found.
(This likely applies to iPad/iPod/iPhone too).
Apple TV displays photos in order of their "Date Created" file attribute.
If the "Date Created" file attribute of all photos in an album is identical, then Apple TV displays the photos in alphabetical order.
This I what I do to make sure that Apple TV displays photos in the order I want them to be in:
First, I arrange photos in the order I want them to be in. For this, I use Google Picasa, but one could also use FastStone Image Viewer, or any similar tool.
Then, I bulk rename all the photos, so that their file names are in alphabetical order. I do this from within Picasa, but there are many other freeware file rename tools one could use for this.
Next, I bulk change the "Date Created" file attribute of the photo files, so that they all have an identical one. For this, I use BatchTouch, freeware available for Windows and Mac.
Finally, I open iTunes, and sync the photos to my Apple TV.
Note: if they photos were already synced to your Apple TV before you perform the steps above, you may need to this beforehand:
Open iTunes on your PC, and make sure that the correct photo folder is selected for syncing to your device.
Using Windows Explorer, navigate to this folder.
Within it, locate a subfolder called “iPod Photo Cache” ("iPad Photo Cache for iPad syncing) and delete it.

'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.

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

Sort Order Driven By Other Field In PowerView on a Relational Source

Hi,
Is there a way to sort an attribute in a chart by a different attribute that is not shown in the chart on a relational source (as e.g. possible with a PowerPivot table source where you can specify to use a different field as sort order)? I achieve the desired
result as per below:
but I of course don't want to show the sort order attribute in the chart.
Thanks for your help!
Martin

Hi Martin,
Do you mean you want to sort the chart by a attribute that not shown in the chart and not in the datasource, right?
Could you please descript the requirements more clearly.
