How do I reverse the order in which files appear in Icon View option?

I took a lot of pictures on a trip recently, which I have uploaded to a folder in Finder. When I click on View Options and then Keep Arranged by Date Created, they get rearranged so that the most recent appears at the top, and the first ones taken are at the bottom. How can I reverse this order, so that they appear in chronological order?
Thanks,
Richard

There might be another way.
There are utilities which can batch-rename files, including options that sort by date, begin all the resulting filenames with a common prefix, and then add a sequential "padded" filename suffix. If you then display the resulting collection of files in alphabetical order (as in Finder's Arrange by Name in icon view), they should be sorted chronologically.
I haven't tried any of these, but the site for [A Better Finder Rename|http://www.publicspace.net/ABetterFinderRename/index.html], shareware, states:
"A Better Finder Rename knows how to extract EXIF shooting date and time information from digital camera images and exploit them in creating sequence numbers or adding time and date information to the file name. "
There may be suitable freeware alternatives -search for *file renamer* in [Version Tracker|http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx>.

    Kay,
    If you are looking at the entire music library ("Music") you can sort by any of the columns by clicking the column header.  If there is a column you can't see, enable it by going to View > View Options.
    Within a playlist, you can do the same, and in addition you can click above the column of sequence numbers, which will then allow you to drag tracks up or down to get any order you wish.

  • How can I reverse the order of podcasts so I can listen in cronological order

    How can I reverse the order of podcasts so I can listen in cronological order!

    What I did was create a playlist for the podcasts and keep it sorted in reverse date order, which puts the oldest first. To prevent it from automatically playing the next podcast, I actually mark all podcasts as "skip when shuffling", and then play in shuffle mode. I also make sure all my podcasts have a genre of "podcast"; I discovered that if you use media type, the playlist doesn't update correctly on the iPod classic
    So, what I've got is a playlist of the form: (play count = 0) and (genre = podcast), sorted in reverse date order.

  • How do I reverse the order of file lists in finder?

    When I display a finder page with icons the sort is ascending (A-Z), but when I use the list function it is decending (Z-A).  How do I reverse the list order?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here and don't speak for "Apple, Inc."
    In Finder icon view, click the Arrange button and select which column you'd like to sort by.
    In Finder list view, click the top header of any column to sort by that column. Clicking the same header again reverses the sort order (and the small 'arrow' at the end of the column name reverses direction too).
    And using Finder, View, Customize Toolbar the Finder window toolbar can be customized to display icons only, text only or both, as well as adding additional icons to the default toolbar:

  • Using Acrobat 9.5.5, I scanned a catalog in several segments, to merge later. How do I reverse the order of pages of the back side (odd) pages, and can I renumber each set as even numbers only and odd numbers only?

    I scanned a catalog for my archive - double sided pages of course.
    It was easy enough to scan the front pages first (odd numbers, 1-3-5) , in several sets of 30 pages, therefore several separate pdfs.
    Then I scanned the back side (even numbers 2-4-6) pages but in their natural reverse order, rather than manually reordering all 300 pages.
    Now I need to reorder the even pages which are naturally in reverse page number order (300-298-296...)
    and I need to renumber all of the pages as only odd or even numbers - set 1: pages 1-3-5-7... Set 2: 2-4-6-8...
    Then I can merge everything into one pdf.
    How can I reverse the page order?
    How can I renumber pages as only even or only odd numbers?
    Anyone have these solutions?  I don't use much of acrobats features, but it seems to be a pretty basic demand to be included. I can't find any clue in the software menus or online help.

    You can do such ordering with JavaScript. There is a recent post with a JavaScript for dealing with another aspect of page order that might provide what you want. You will have to search the forum for the post that was about 2 or 3 weeks ago as I recall.

  • How can I change the order in which photos are presented on an Apple TV?

    I am showing photos on my Apple TV via my Apple MacBook, iTunes and Home Sharing.
    That all works nicely for me, except that I wish to change the order in which a few photos
    are being presented.  How can I change the presentation order on the Apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You'll need to change the order in iPhoto. Open the album you wish to re-order, manually sort them to the order you want, then use the time and date and batch change options as applicable from the photos menu to retag your photos.

  • How can I change the order in which my Yahoo BT m...

    Hi ....I am a complete computer idiot and  I would like some advice please.
    Emails in my Yahoo BT 'in' and 'sent' sections used to be listed with new mail at the top...ready to be opened and earliest at the bottom.
    For some unexplained reason recently  the order has  suddenly reversed.
    It is very annoying as I now have to scroll down to open any new mail or any mail recently sent .
    is there any way I can reverse this back tohow it was.
    I cannot find any answers anywhere?
    Help please!

    I just checked BTYahoo mail via webmail and those headers don't seem to be there. I had to go into the spam folder though coz I use a mailer.
    My God it's a jungle in the spam folder !!
    If he's using a mailer.. ie: Outlook then, as said, just click the bar that has date, or sender on it.

  • How do I control the order in which JTree displays nodes?

    I'm trying to display the nodes in a JTree in a specific fashion, but I can't figure out how to change the order JTree displays them in. It seems the default is alphabetically, with leaves first and nodes with children second. I've spent a few hours pouring through the documentation, but I haven't been able to find out what I need to do. Anyone know?

    They are displayed in the order they are added on the same level.

  • How do I reverse the order of a stack?

    I created a smart folder for recent images and it works. It would be awesome if I could have a dock stack with the same thing and keeping the most recent image at the very bottom so I can grab it quickly. The problem is that the dock is in reverse order so the most recent is on the other end.
