How do you sort Pics in Smart Folder? Photos App

How do you sort pics in a smart folder in the Photos App? Date, Name, etc.

Yes, when I do that it sorts the albums in the folder by name.
I may have misused terminology, I meant Smart Albums not smart folders, if this makes a difference.
Thanks for your help!

How do you make multiple folders in the photo app-

the question speaks for itself.also, how do you sync multiple albums onto the phone?

The way I sync folders is this (I know it may not be what you are looking for).
But in iTunes you can pick a folder to sync to. For me I made a specific folder just for my iPhone.
Any pictures I want on my iPhone I put in that folder (copies).
And then in that folder you can create subfolders (to organize). Note though you can only go 1 subfolder deep. You cannot put a subfolder in a subfolder.
So for example:
C:\DATA\iPHONE This is the folder for my syncing.
I can create
C:\DATA\iPHONE\FAMILY
C:\DATA\iPHONE\FRIENDS
C:\DATA\iPHONE\ABSTRACT
C:\DATA\iPHONE\NEWYEARSPARTY
But I cannot create
C:\DATA\iPHONE\FAMILY\WIFE
Then you just put pictures you want sycned into them. Sort of better to work with copies and have a folder specific for the iPhone I think. At some point you will want pics removed from your phone and far easier to just delete them from the iPhone specific folder than if you went to route of syncing to the folder you actually store photos you want to keep forever on your computer. Having a specific folder with copies means you can delete and add at will and know your real memories are elsewhere.

How do you lower the storage that the Photos app takes up?

My photos app takes up a lot of space on my iPhone and I am hoping that someone can help me figure out how to lower it. I have tried deleting photos that I don't need but the app still takes up 2.6 GB. I don't even have 100 photos but I do have a couple videos. This is really annoying because I only have the 16 GB iPhone. (I have the iPhone 5s 16 GB running IOS 8.1.3)

Hey Sam,
The iCloud Photo Library (beta) was created to address the issue you are having with storage space on your iPhone. I record a lot of videos on my iPhone, so I know that they consume more space than just about anything else. I frequently import the videos onto my computer and remove them from the iPhone to free up space. Here is some information that may help you.

How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
To turn on Optimize [device] Storage on your device, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select Optimize [device] Storage. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.

How can I sort files in a folder by name?

How can I sort files in a folder by name? iFS first sort files that starts with upper-case letter and then files with lower-case letter.
Like:
A_file
B_file
a_file
b_file
I want:
A-file
a_file
B_file
b_file
This doesn't help:
String[] sort_attributes = {"NAME"};
boolean [] sort_orders = {true};
SortSpecification sort = new SortSpecification(sort_attributes, sort_orders);
currentFolder.setSortSpecification(sort);
Do I have to get all items in a folder and then sort them?
/Elin

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.
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer#w_manual-backup]]_manual-backup

How do you sort the safari "Bookmarks Bar" bookmarks

how do you sort the safari "Bookmarks Bar" bookmarks

Here is the workaround for sorting your bookmarks - you don't have to do it manually as suggested in the previous answer here. This is from a 2006 page at Hints.Macworld.com
"One thing that bugs me is that there is no option in Safari to alphabetize bookmarks. I had a crazy idea about how to accomplish this, and it seems to work. Hopefully I'm not missing something more obvious.
What I did was open the Bookmarks window (Bookmarks: Show All Bookmarks), put the links I wanted to alphabetize into a folder, and then dragged that folder into the Finder. The Finder alphabetizes the bookmarks; you can then just drag the folder back into the Bookmarks window. You probably have to set the Finder to arrange files by name before it will work. Hope this helps!
[robg adds: When you drag the folder back, you'll now have two folders, the original and the sorted one. Just delete the original, and you're set. You can also do this without first creating a Safari folder. Just select all the bookmarks to be alphabetized, drag them into a new folder in the Finder, open that folder (make sure it's set to sort by name or use column view), then drag the now-sorted bookmarks back into Safari's Bookmarks window. Again, you'll have duplicates, so just delete the originals (which will be grouped above the newly-placed list). I wonder if any of this is scriptable...]"
If you're like me and you like to keep all of your bookmarks in folders in the Bookmarks bar, then from the Bookmarks window you would open the Bookmarks Bar in a window of its own before doing the above.

How do you sort bookmarks in safari? Why does apple not allow you to do this?

Hi,
You can manage your Bookmarks anyway you like.

If you want to alphabetize a Bookmark folder just move it to your Desktop. The Finder will automatically alphabetize the list of Bookmarks for you then just drag it back to the Safari window.

How do you sort photos by face/name on iPad2?

iPhoto is designed to work with photos from cameras, and so seeks the date in the Exif metadata that the camera writes to the file.
There is no way to organise photos by the date they were imported to iPhoto.

How do you send pics from iPad?

How do you send pics from iPad? I've tried to use the photos icon at the bottom, select the pics, and enter the email address. Problem is they never show up in the email. Any thoughts? I've also tried Pages app and a few others with the same result.

I discussed the problem with Melissa at Apple. We tried reset, then we found about 50 attempts to email pics from Photos, stuck in Outbox. Deleted all of them, and we were able to send pic from Photos. Next day the problem was back, and emptying Outbox does not fix. Have not tried renewing account yet, worried about losing Inbox stuff.

HT4528 How do you download pics from iPhone to laptop w/o a usb cord?

how do you download pics to laptop?

If you have an iCloud account with Photo Stream enabled with the account settings on your iPhone and with Photo Stream enabled with your iCloud account settings on your computer, all photos captured by your iPhone or saved by the iPhone which are saved in the iPhone's Camera Roll, will be available in your Photo Stream automatically if the iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network at the time, or will be uploaded to your Photo Stream when the iPhone becomes connected to an available wi-fi network. This will make the photos available in your Photo Stream on your computer without having to import the photos from your iPhone's Camera Roll which requires a USB connection.
You can transfer the photos in the Photo Stream on your computer to be saved locally on your computer's hard drive.
