How do i sort events within events on iPhoto

I have a lot of events that have to do with one main event in iPhoto. I wanted to make one big event that I would click to then open all the specific event folders within it, is there any I can do this?

There is one drawback with huge events. I found that iPhoto and Aperture are a bit slower, if the event size is larger than about 1000 photos. Scrolling the event will take a long time, and smart albums based on that event will take longer to load, because iPhoto will have to search more photos. I prefer to use smart albums and keywords to group related photos and keep the events small - one shoot- one event. The added advantage is, that sorting the events by date will give meaningful results. If an event has photos from several years, the event date does not make much sense for sorting the events.

How can I sort photos within an event? When I follow the Help instructions, I can sort manually in Photo format, but when I return to Event format, the original order is restored.

Events are organisation for those who can't really be bothered. They are automatic - based entirely on Date and Time the camera records the photos as taken.
You can move photos between Events, you can Merge Events, you can Rename them and sort them in various ways except one: You cannot manually sort in an Event as Events are all automated.
If you want to manually sort in an Event then you've outgrown Events as an organising tool. Now it's time to look at albums (Where you can manually sort) which are much more flexible than Events as an organising tool.

Only albums can be sorted manually. Events can only be sorted automatically according to one of the predefined settings "Date, Keywords, Title, Rating".
If you need a manual sort order, selectaall photos in the event and create an album: File > New Album

How Do I Sort Events by Event File Name?

Hi All,
Searched the forums extensively and can't seem to find anything on point. I'm trying to sort my events in iMovie appropriately and it's a challenge. Some of my events are recent, imported digital videos. Others are old VHS videos from the 80s and 90s converted through video capture devices. Others are simple videos filmed through my point and shoot camera. Bottom line, they only have a digital tag based on two things: the date they were imported into iMovie (analog stuff brought in through video capture) or actual digital tags from a digital video recorder.
So they only way to really get these events sorted correctly is to name them in a conventional "year-month-day" naming convention and sort, just like other files.
My problem is that I can't get iMovie to sort this way even after I successfully rename EVERY event (and there's like 150 events at this point).
Any ideas? It seems simple. How do I sort events WITHIN the iMovie application by event name?
Thanks,
-Ben (San Antonio)

Did the trick! I'd love it if there were a bit more of an assembly line capability to this, as I needed to change the creation date for 154 clips, which involved attaching, adjusting, removing, attaching, adjusting, removing...
Lot's of mouse work is all.
BUT it did the trick!
Thanks,

How to customize SORT event in the View Form ?

I'm using Jdevelper 9.0.3 with BC4J+UIXML, and I need customize the View Object Query, including "bind variables" as:
SELECT A.COD_CLIENTE,
A.NUM_TESTE,
A.NOM_TESTE
FROM TESTE A
WHERE A.COD_CLIENTE = :1
I create the java class for prepare assign values to View Object as:
//Nome da Package da Tela Detail
package br.com.siadem.siaed.ed00010;
// Importa as Bibliotecas necessÃ¡rias
import oracle.jbo.ViewObject;
import oracle.cabo.servlet.BajaContext;
import oracle.cabo.servlet.Page;
import oracle.cabo.servlet.event.PageEvent;
import oracle.cabo.servlet.event.EventResult;
import oracle.cabo.data.jbo.servlet.bind.*;
import oracle.cabo.ui.data.BoundValue;
import oracle.cabo.ui.data.DataBoundValue;
import br.com.siadem.siaed.util.*;
public class FunPreQuery
public static EventResult FunConfiguraQuery(BajaContext context, Page page, PageEvent event) throws Throwable
TrataDadosSessao varDadosSessao = new TrataDadosSessao();
// Configura os Parametros
String valor1 = varDadosSessao.getCodCliente();
// Cria o objeto ViewObject para a difiniÃ§Ã£o dos parametro na Query
ViewObject view = ServletBindingUtils.getViewObject(context);
// Configura os parametros na query do ViewObject
view.setWhereClauseParam(0,valor1);
// Executa a Query
view.executeQuery();
// Retorna o Resultado para a PÃ¡gina
return new EventResult(page);
This works very well customizing the "Search" event in the View form as:
<event name="search" >

<bc4j:findRootAppModule name="TesteView1AppModule" >

<bc4j:findViewObject name="TesteView1" >

<bc4j:findByExample>
<bc4j:exampleRow ignoreCase="true" >
<bc4j:exampleAttribute>
<bc4j:nameBinding><bc4j:parameter name="attrName" /></bc4j:nameBinding>
<bc4j:valueBinding><bc4j:parameter name="attrValue" /></bc4j:valueBinding>
</bc4j:exampleAttribute>
</bc4j:exampleRow>
</bc4j:findByExample>
<method class="br.com.siadem.siaed.ed00010.FunPreQuery"
method="FunConfiguraQuery"/>


<bc4j:setPageProperty name="attrName" >
<bc4j:parameter name="attrName" />
</bc4j:setPageProperty>
<bc4j:setPageProperty name="attrValue" >
<bc4j:parameter name="attrValue" />
</bc4j:setPageProperty>
</bc4j:findViewObject>
</bc4j:findRootAppModule>
</event>
I'm use the sortable columns with <bc4j:sortablecolumn> as:
<bc4j:column attrName="NomTeste">
<columnHeader>
<bc4j:sortableHeader/>
</columnHeader>
<contents>
<bc4j:input readOnly="true"/>
</contents>
</bc4j:column>
But, the "Sort" event does not enable a manual control for call Java Class. When user click in any sortable column, occur the follow error:
oracle.jbo.SQLStmtException: JBO-27122: SQL error during statement preparation. Statement: SELECT A.COD_CLIENTE, A.NUM_TESTE, A.NOM_TESTE FROM TESTE A WHERE a.cod_cliente = :1 ORDER BY A.NUM_TESTE ASC
Anybody know to implement this functionality ?

Ok, the solution:

How do I sort photos WITHIN folder view?

Okay, I'll admit, to me, Adobe has always been defined as "too many features and too confusing to me," but I'll give it a shot.
I looked through help, etc. and I have a seemingly simple question - how do I sort photos, new to old, WITHIN folder view of the browser? I don't WANT to show ALL my photos, just folder by folder, oldest to new, NOT by filename!
This is a simple right-click context menu in Paint Shop Pro, has been for many versions. Why can't I find how/where to do this in Photoshop Elements? It's the kind of thing that makes simpletons like me keep running away from complex Adobe products.
Help me, SOMEONE, through this seemingly simple task and... I'll be most appreciative.

>how do I sort photos, new to old, WITHIN folder view of the browser? I don't WANT to show ALL my photos, just folder by folder, oldest to new, NOT by filename!
Well since folders are not the primary method of using the Photo Browser in Elements, I don't think that folder view has everything that you want.
If you want to look at a single folder in this sequence you could use the Instant Tag function to apply the tag to all photos in that folder, then use a Tag search by clicking on the box to the left of the tag that is the folder name and then choose oldest first while displaying just the photo files from that folder. This may sound long, but it takes lees time to do than it takes to type a description.

Photoshop elements 8 for Mac - how to move photos (events) from iphoto to pse

I have figured out how to move one photo over through opening a file. But I can't move a full event or album from iphoto. Ive tried going to bridge but when i click on the iphoto folder, it takes me into my iphoto and I'm not sure what do then, no buttons or anything that seems to connect to PSE. Any help would be appreciated! I wish Adobe supported this product better for Mac users. Maybe they read these discussions?

Hi,
Are you opening iPhoto files from within Photoshop Elements? You can open all the files in an iPhoto event into PSE8 through a single click.
In Photoshop Elements, go to File menu > Open. In the browser window that appears, click Photos under Media in the sidebar. Now, you should be able to see iPhoto with all its events. When you click on an event and "Open" it, you should get all the photos of that event in the project bin.
Is this the problem being asked?
Thanks.

How can i see events in iPhoto in list form?

I just got an iMac and have imported all my photos from my PC to iPhoto. Now I want to view the "events" in a list form, but can't see how to do that and can't find any info in Help or the user interface. Anyone know how to do this?

Go to the Photos mode and in View enable Event Titles:
Then you'll get this type of list:
To open or close all events at one time Option-click on the triangle at the beginning of the Event title.

How to import one Event from iPhoto?

I discovered an Event that did not import. In Aperture Import, there is an option to show the iPhoto Browser, that allows you to select an Event or individual photos. But then what? How do you initiate the import? There seems to be no button or anything to activate the import.

Select an Event or Photo and drag it to the target Project in the Aperture window.

How can I sort bookmarks within a folder by date such that this is apllied not only in the library but also on the toolbar?

Hello,
I have several folders on my firefox toolbar which I use to sort new bookmarks by topic. If I add a new bookmark to a folder it is alwas placed at the bottom (below existing bookmarks) which is somewhat annoying with a increasing number of bookmarks. I would like to have the bookmarks recently added at the top of the folder (above existing bookmarks).
It's no problem to sort them this way within the library. But back at the toolbar everthing remains the same. The only option that seems to work here ist 'sort by name'.
Is there any way to sort the bookmarks by 'date added' such that new bookmarks are placed on top and this is applied also outside the library?
I hope you get my problem!
Thanks!

I do not think there is a way to do that without add-ons
There are a couple of workarounds I am aware of
* Add the bookmarks manually in the bookmarks library and choose the position. That is using Show all bookmarks -> open required folder -> select a position and right click -> add new bookmark <br />Rather a slow and clumsy process
* Sort a folder and copy it. If you sort the folder contents then copy and paste them they remain in that order when pasted.
There are add-ons but I have not tried them. For example
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/simplesort-bookmarks/
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/auto-sort-bookmarks/
There will be others available and take note of the advice to backup bookmarks manaully.

How do I sort tracks within an album by name?

In the new iTunes 11 for Mac, is there any way to set the view to sort by albums (so you have that grid of album art; I have this figured out already), and then (this is the part I can't figure out yet) have the tracks within any given album be sorted by name when you click on the artwork? When I choose View-->View Options, I can set to sort by title which sorts the albums themselves by title (which I want), but then the second dropdown is deactivated.
I have a number of multi-disc albums, and I want to condense them into one album, but when I did that for one album I ended up with a ton of tracks in one album and I couldn't find what I wanted to play from the album because I couldn't get them sorted alphabetically (thus it took me too long to find the track)

it is not just date - it is time and date
I suspect that what you are seeing is a time difference between the cameras - check and I think you will find that they are sorted by time and date
If that is it it is easy to fix - make a smart album for each camera and adjust the photos for them so they are all together

How to delete untitled events on iPhoto?

Basically, I've accidentally put my pictures into untitled events. I've deleted all of the pictures (thinking that'd make the untitled events go away but it hasn't) so now I just have about 35 untitled events stuck in my iPhoto. I've tried deleting them but they don't seem to be going! What can I do?!

If you have emptied out the Library, just trash it and make a new one.

How can I rearrange photos within album in iPhoto 9.5

I used to be able to do this in older iphoto applications. I have gone to View and checked manual and I still cannot arrange the photos within an albun manually.

In an album you simply drag the photos where you want them - that is one reason to use albums for organization rather than events

How can I sort Photos sandomly in a iPhoto Slideshow? The option to shuffle photos is darkened.

So I am trying to randomly sort my photos in a slideshow that I have created, and iPhoto does not give me the option to randomly sort my photos. I tried playing the slideshow, and then select the settings, which brought up the option to "shuffle slide order" but it will not allow me to select it. It appears that the box may be slightly darkened. I dont understand why it will not let me select it, or if there is some other way to randomly order photos. Thanks.

The only way to get a slideshow sorted randomly is to start with an album and use the Play button at the bottom of the window. Click on the screen to bring up the Settings pane where you can select Shuffle slide order:
If you check User settings as default it will lock those settings to the album you're using. If you empty the album and add new photos the settings will still apply.
