How do I sort all of my photos alphabetically by title?
I need to be able to sort my photos by title. This is critical to my business. I can't find a way to do that. It appears that Photos automatically sorts by date which is problematical when I have 10,000 photos.
I want to be able to sort by:
title
date
rating
keyword
location
All of those, not just one or two or those sorting options.
I guess it is too much to ask to have second level options for sorting as well; ie. alphabetically by title and then within that by date (or rating).
Photos doesn't offer those sorting options. In nearly all modes photos can only be sorted by Date, either Date Added or EXIF Capture Date. In albums you can sort by date or manually.
The only time I've found the sort by title available is in a folder of albums and it only applies to the sorting of the albums.
I would go back to iPhoto for now. Add keywords to help in identifying photos as well as titles and descriptions. Then when iPhoto isn't compatible with the system anymore you can migrate to Photos and have the keywords and description to help search and arrange in groups in albums.
If your photos are critical to your business I'd look into one of the professional DAM (digital asset management) apps that can sort by any feature you can think of. One such app is Media Pro 1. I use it as my primary DAM and iPhoto for special projects like books, cards, calendars, slideshows.
You can learn about other DAM apps at The DAM Forum.

How do I sort ALL my bookmarks into alphabetical order with ONE CLICK? (continued)
You can sort all your bookmarks alphabetically in one shot with the Auto-Sort Bookmarks add-on.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/auto-sort-bookmarks/?src=api
Note: Since the other thread with this name was closed, I'm posting this in a new thread.
Here's the old thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/933835I've been watching this (general) thread for years and waiting patiently for Mozilla to address it, w/out any success at all - obviously. And, no, the answers are NOT helpful to me!
I understand many people have no interest in bookmarks but clearly lots of people still use them. If you're going to have the feature that purports to sort bookmarks, for pete's sake, make it work. I'd think it would be an embarrassment to have a part of your program malfunction for so long. I mean, what are you folks? IE!?! Why don't you just ask someone to spend a couple days addressing the issue and get it straightened out? (Clearly i care enough about it but I don't code, so… I'm useless.)
For the record, a user shouldn't have to individually sort each folder within their Bookmarks folder. One should be able to pick an option that would apply to all folders. Sure, leave the ability to sort individually but add an "apply to all" feature to the mother folder. Then, find a way to have it automatically maintain that status, whatever is selected. Doesn't sound like that difficult a task, given all the other great things you guys and girls do all the time! That's my ¢.
By the way, I'm using a MB Pro 4,1 (early 2008), OS 10.6.8, and Firefox 19.0 beta. Thanks for listening to my bitching.

How do I sort ALL my bookmarks into alphabetical order with ONE CLICK?
This functionality does not - nor has ever existed in any version of Firefox. (as far as I remember)
This question has been asked multiple times - and the answer is usually incomplete or too time consuming (especially for those of us who have over THREE THOUSAND bookmarks separated in hundreds of folders)
The only decent answer - used to be - to install an addon called SortPlaces: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/9275 - though for some reason the developer was offended by those in control of Mozilla and has pulled all of his addons from every site that is easily accessible - the newest version of firefox has broken this add on - and Firefox has a very useless sorting system. --
Sorting your bookmarks - one folder at a time - using a right click option - that only works when you 'view -toolbars-bookmarks' (or when you right click within the bookmark menu system) is a pitiful system -
Why can't you sort it when in 'bookmarks - show all bookmarks' ?? (well you CAN sort it there - but it will revert back to its un sorted form upon closing the interface)
Why can't you export it into a json - or html - then sort using a text editor - or some other program - then re import?
With the promotion of your online bookmark sync system you would think that something as simple as SORTING would have been covered...
Other topics comparable - with answers that are not valid:
1 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/760184
cor-el suggested right clicking each folder individually - or using the sourtplaces addon (which is no longer available)
2 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/837928?as=aaq
various people suggest using the sort places add on.
3 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/752997?as=aaq
SortPlaces is mentioned again - along with a link that looks REALLY OFFICIAL - and that link also suggests using the SortPlaces - the link says its not available at mozilla but can be found elsewhere -- but the latest firefox has broken it - so its useless now...
the-edmeister suggested:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sorting_bookmarks_alphabetically
Not sure what happened with the developer of Sortspaces - I never used any of his addons or had any dealings with him - but he is certainly unhappy with the folks behind Firefox.
http://www.andyhalford.com/
and HOORAY for Bookmark Duplicate Detector 1.1.1 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bookmark-duplicate-detector/?src=search (helped me get rid of over 700 duplicate bookmarks - got me down to 3400 total; the auto remove all does not work with firefox14 but the rest of it works fine- I just had to manually push delete over and over again for a few hours...)
- and the checkCompatibility 1.3 that allows me to load out of date add ons: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/checkcompatibility/
The CheckCompatibility allowed me to install the Sort Bookmarks add on - and it looks perfect - but will not properly function...
I hope my post helps others who are trying to sort their bookmarks - and I hope someone has an answer for some of my questions - preferably the title question... lolI've been watching this (general) thread for years and waiting patiently for Mozilla to address it, w/out any success at all - obviously. And, no, the answers are NOT helpful to me!

How do I sort ALL my bookmarks into alphabetical order?
I have read and understand that Firefox allows me to sort alphabetically within each of my folders BUT that's not what I want or need. I want my entire list of bookmarks, including the folders, in alphabetical order. It's far too confusing as it is and takes forever to find what I'm looking for. And oddly it seems to me that a whole lot of users are asking for the same answer!
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sorting_and_rearranging_bookmarks_-_Firefox
You can look at this extension:

I have photos on my iPad (the first apple device in our household) and then added an iMac and a Macbook air to our network. We have an airport 2TB back up device. How do I get all of my photos on all devices. My original iPad has images that my 2 newer devices do not have on iphoto.
My original iPad has images that my 2 newer devices do not have on iphoto.
How are the images stored on your original iPad? Are they in the camera roll, in events downloaded using the camera connection kit, or are they in albums synced to your ipad from a computer?
If the photos are in the camera roll or in events downloaded from a camera, you can transfer them to your iMac and MBA by directly connecting the iPad using USB. Then you can download the photos to iPhoto like from a camera.
Only, if your photos have been synced to the iPad from a computer, you will have to save them first to the camera roll; then you can download them by connecting the iPad via USB.
What IOS version has your iPad?
For new photos you might consider using Photo Stream to transfer your photos between the devices.

Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your phone. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your phone is new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup. -
How do I share all my files, photos etc.. on my wife's MAC?
How do I share all my LR photos on my wife's MAC - really having two users both able to change photos for their own use?
The only way I would recommend is to put the photos on an external HD, and also put the catalog file on the same external HD, and move that external HD back and forth between computers, and both of you work on the exact same catalog file.
If that's not acceptable ...
Lightroom really wasn't meant as a multi-user tool, and the only other way I know to do this is kind of tedious and involves repeated manual operations.
If the photos are on a server, and you each have your own catalogs, then there's no problem with each user working on the photos independently on their own computer in their own Lightroom catalog. The problem comes in if you want to consolidate the changes made by the different users into one master catalog somehow. Then, for each change made, you need to combine the changes into the other catalog, and this can be done via File->Export as Catalog and then File->Import from Another Catalog. And then tomorrow when there are more changes, you have to do it again. And don't wind up in the situation where you accidentally forget to update a photo(s) like this, because then you have two catalogs that don't match.
Better you should look at software like Daminion which is designed to be multi-user. (Note: I have not used Daminion, and so I am not recommending or endorsing it, I am simply stating that it allows multi-user catalogs) -
How do I move all my ipad photos to icloud? .
How do I move all my ipad photos to icloud? Since the last software update none of my ipad pictures upload to the cloud. i just want to empty all the picture to the cloud and free up the ipad.
You turn iCloud Photo Library on in Settings > iCloud > Photos. However it doesn't "empty" the pictures to the cloud. The most you can do to free up space using iCloud is to turn on Optimize Storage to keep a smaller device-sized version of the photos on your iPad. See the quote below from iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
Can I use iCloud Photo Library to save space on my device?
iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos and videos in the original, high-resolution version. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:
In iOS, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select a storage setting.
In OS X, click Photos > Preferences > iCloud, then select a storage setting.
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. All of your original, full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud while device-size versions are kept on your device. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them.
If you turn on Download Originals, iCloud Photo Library will keep your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device. Download Originals is the default setting for iOS devices with the free 5 GB storage plan and for all Mac devices. -

I have just bought the new iPad but can't see how I would sync all my iPhone photos that are stored on iCloud onto my iPad. Can someone help?
Photos on the camera roll can be included in an icloud backup from an iOS device (if camera roll is turned on). But getting the photos back from a backup is risky. Many users have performed restore operations from a backup only to discover the photos were not returned. icloud is primarily used to sync photos to other devices using photo stream - but only new photos taken after the stream is turned on in Settings>icloud will actually be synced, not old photos.
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage, tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album). You can then sync the photos to the iPad.

How I can sort all columns alphabetically? in Itunes
How I can sort all columns alphabetically? in Itunes
I have the same problem.
I've went through the pains of merging all chapters into one big file for each and every audiobook, so that at least the chapters don't get played in random order. Month and month of work….. In iTunes 12.01. I can now order my audiobooks by title or by author.
But once they're uploaded to my blo*dy expensive iPhone 6Plus 128 (which I bought especially to have all my music and my audiobooks on one device) my audiobooks are NOT sorted by author, but by Title.
So, let's say I have 15 books by Ken Follet, they don't appear as Ken Follet > Title of the book but they are sorted alphabetically with all the other titles of other authors.
iPods where originally designed for music and audiobooks, but each and every version of iOS makes handling your music and especially your audiobooks harder and harder….
I am very disappointed and after so many years of using apple, I am considering to move on to android devices. -
How do I store all my old photos from my pc to iCloud?
I'm just transitioning to Apple products from a PC. I have an iPhone and have purchased extra space in iCloud. How do I move all my old photos from my PC to iCloud? I can't seem to find instuctions anywhere.
iCloud will only store photos for 30 days, after which they are deleted. This is to give other devices enough time to download your photos.

I have enabled photostream on my imac but only a small selection of old photos from my iphone have streamed through. How do i get all the existing photos from both my iphone and ipad onto my iMac?
This usually happens because iCloud only keeps photo stream photos for 30 days (even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your phone until deleted). When you enabled photo stream on your Mac you only received photo stream photos from the last 30 days.
To get older photos to your Mac, create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99). The be sure you check Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream. You can then import them to your iPhoto library by opening the shared photo stream album in iPhoto, then going to Edit>Select All, Control-clicking on any of the selected photos and selecting Import. -
Photos for iOS: How can i sort all of my albums automatically in alphabetical order
Hey there,
first off, why isn't there a a community for the new Photos app?
Anyway, here is my problem:
How can i sort my albums on the new Photos app on iOS?
I think it's not possible at the moment.
I am using the iCloud Photo library and uploadet all of my 15.000 photos from the last 15 years.
And because of that, i now have many many albums on Photos now.
Overall i love the new app and i love the iCloud Photo library, but i cannot sort my albums on the iOS app automatically in alphabetical order.
I can sort albums manual, but who wants that, when you have so many of them???
I have Photos on my Mac too and there i am able to do sort them in alphabetical order. But it is not adopted to iOS or the iCloud Web-App.
Because of that, i have a complete picture chaos on my iPhone and when i am looking for this one pic in that one album it takes me forever to find it.
So please Apple, fix this and we all can live happily ever after!
Thank you!Moments in Photo are the new Events. T
here's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When the library was first migrated there was a folder created titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events are represented by an album in the folder. To open the sidebar if it's not open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window showing all of the albums.
The downside to this simulation is that the Album/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title while viewed in the Folder in the main window or in the sidebar. But they can be sorted manually.
Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.
