How to organise my events in date order?

I usually organise my events in date order but some have gone somewhere else, the album info say it starts may 6th 2014 but on the event it says it starts in 2013???

That can happen, if your event contains hidden photos.
The event below contains a hidden Photo from September 2002. When I make the hidden photos visible the date of the event will change.
Enable "Hidden Photos" in the "View" menu. Then both date ranges should match.
You will recognize the hidden photos by the "x" in the corner after unhiding them.

Photos. They are on my macBook, backed up on time machine. Copied them (hours and hours) to external hard drive. They are now in alphabetical order (19,000 of them) NOT IN THEIR EVENTS or date order-and have been taken with different cameras- help!!!!!!

Photos.
They are on my macBook, backed up on time machine. There are 19,000+ of them, some rescued from a pc crash- which I used the nifty iPhoto to put back into date order.
I want to take them all off my laptop, now............as I need to use it for WORK!!
Copied them (hours and hours) to another external hard drive.
They are now in alphabetical order (all 19,000+ of them) NOT IN THEIR EVENTS or date order. (-They have also been taken with different cameras over the years and some of the generic camera numbering remains.)
I have tried to copy them (only a few as an experiment) one event at a time, but that again "opens up" the Event "folder" and tips them out as individuals and therefore just lists image letters and numbers alphabetically.
How can I copy
the whole library still in "Events" to an external hard drive?
the folders/albums I have already made on to this hard drive?
and how can I add to this back up monthly, again keeping events and folders separate and updated?
Mac is so user friendly - there must be a way.........
Thanks

UPDATE : I have re-installed from disk, various apps that were no longer functioning such as iLife, iWork etc. So, I now can access my photos again.
Also, I had to re-install all the software for my printer ( Stylus Pro 4880 ) and reset it so the printer is working again.
Photoshop CS4 won't open. I think I will have to get in touch with Adobe as basically, I guess they have a built-in "blocker" which prevents me from opening the app as the license is for only 1 user and having re-installed the OS, there are now, in effect, 2 users ( Me and Me 1, I think ).
So, having added on a new external HD, Time Machine has made a copy of most of the files, folders, apps etc onto the external HD. The internal HD is still nearly full ( 220 GBs out of 232 GBs ).
I am guessing the way to go now in order to free up space on the internal HD is to delete/trash older photos from my iPhoto library and hope that if needed, I will be able to access them on the external HD.
Am I correct ? Please advise before I do something I will regret.
Thanks, Sean.

How to sort photo events by date and avoid having duplicated photos on iPhone 6+

How to sort photo events bby date and avoid having duplicated photos. Before the sorting by date worked perfectly by specifying "sort events by date ascending" in iPhoto from my Mac. Now the sorting from iPhoto has no more effect on the iPhones. And photos are often duplicated when synchronisin. Before these problems didn't happen. How to do?

You can not -- neither automatically or manually - you should never be in the masters folder and there is never a need to be - iPhoto is a SQLite database and it's database structure is determined by it (and changes from time to time) - use the supported access methods (direct access to the photo files is not supported and never has been) - either using iPhoto or using the media browser in the lower left hand corner of every open/attach/iupload window
It is CRITICAL that you NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library using the finder or any program other than iPhoto

In iMovies, can I arrange the events in date order, i.e. year and/or month that the movies relate to?

In iMovies, can I arrange the events in the Events Library in date order, e.g. 1994 - Sports Day; 1991 - John's christening; 1993 - Christmas?

If you import from a digital camera or camcorder, iMovie will automatically store your events in date order.
However, if you imported clips from an analog camcorder, like VHS or 8MM or Hi8, iMovie does not have any metadata to work with.
In this case, there are two ways to add back this metadata.
The simplest way is to right click on your Event clip and select Adjust Clip Date And Time. Do this for all clips in the event.
The other way is to name your clips before importing to imovie in this format:
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss.ext
where hh is hours in 24 hour time, and ext is the current file extension. If you name your clips this way, and then import to iMovie through FILE/IMPORT MOVIE then the clips will sort into the proper year.

Printing and exporting iCal events in date order

I would love to be able to print out my gigs and events in date order so that I can give this list to the people in my band and my agents.
iCal does not do this and there are lots of people asking a similar question. I don't know enough about programming to alter the scripts, and I love having my dates synced across all my toys, but is there another app or facility that will give me the same functionality of iCal with the print-in-date-order option?

possibly could try calprint app??
it is useful to have all the calendar events across all devices now, don't even use a paper diary now

How to list searched email in dATE ORDER

There seems to be a problem with searching for email with my iphone5s.Unlike with my iphone 4s it does not display the results in date order. The most recent emails are shown buried further down in the list. I have asked the gurus at two Apple shops and nobody seems to be aware of the problem or can assist. I would have imagined this would have been readily observed by Apple in the initial beta testing so am surprised it has not been sorted before release. I have uploaded ios7.0.3 so I am up to date.

i think there is no settings to sort the search results by date, in order to search by time, you can type the month name followed by your search query
something like "February meeting"
look into mails section in the ios& manual

Imovie 10 events now alphabetical not date order

My events are all in alpahabetical order in the sidebar, how do I change this to date order the same as they were in iMovie 11?
I also think I am missing a lot of footage. Many of my events don't seem to be there! If it was in date order (by title as it used to be) it would be easier to see this or not.

Because of the alphbetical order it is no longer easy for me to detremine the timing of the video. This is probably true for everyone. Does the video store the date the video was taken (similar to photo metadata) and if so how do I access that information in iMovie?

How do you get the Event folder date to match the media dates in FCPX

Modifying the clip date/time with the Modify command works fine ... but the Event itself still has the date the event was created, not the date of the media that it contains.
If tried using Touch on the Event folder but FCPX ignores it.
Any ideas on how to get the Event folder date to match the media dates (or set to any other date desired) so that Events sorted by date show the actual dates of the media that they contain?
Thanks
Jonathan

Here is the texture I've been manipulating all afternoon to try and achieve the looks i want.
and when I put this texture over the top of other images and select Multiply, and adjusted the opacity, this is what i get....
Now this kinda works?? but it still looks not as good on an asian person.
Thanks by the way to everyone for all the tips, I really really appriciate it and more suggestions for improvments are welcome!

Sort 'albums' to date order

I recently upgraded to OS Yosemite X and my photos transferred from iPhotos to Photos. Frankly, Photos is a mess and not user friendly.
My problem is that my hundreds of 'iPhoto events' appeared in an 'iPhoto Events' folder within 'Photos albums'. I selected them all and then converted them all into separate 'albums'. Unfortunately, they are now all mixed up out of date order and there doesn't appear to be any way you can put them in correct date order. I then did an 'undo' to put they all back into the 'iPhoto events' folder and they are in the same mixed up state.
Please can anyone advise me how to get them back into date order?

I agree. Have experienced exactly the same. I have spent hours manually sorting Albums into order - why is there no option to sort by date? Asked in Apple Store and they could not answer. Hopefully Apple will fix this soon.
Also found that when photos are in Albums there is no way of editing - can only be done in Photos.
Can't merge Albums either.
Can't save emailed photos to Photo either - there's an option to do that but it does't appear to work - I don't know where it's sent.
It's a not at all user friendly. Photos are sorted how Apple think you want to see them i.e. en masse and in date order on Photos - I DON'T WANT THAT.
It wasn't made clear on the update to Yosemite that such a drastic change would happen - I wish I hadn't updated.

Apple TV (1st gen) photos in an Event not in date order

I have synced selected Events from iPhoto to my Apple TV 1st gen with iTunes 11.0.1
The events synced are "merged" events from 2 cameras on a month-by-month basis.
In iPhoto, I have the event sorted by date, but on the Apple TV, the photos are NOT in date order.
How can I get the Apple TV to reflect the choice I make in iPhoto ??

Thanks Winston

Having arranged some scanned pictures in an album in I-Photo how can I keep them in the order I have chosen when I move the album. They all have the scan date and not the taken date and move to new positions if I move them from one album to another.

Having arranged some scanned pictures in an album in I-Photo how can I keep them in the order I have chosen when I move the album. They all have the scan date and not the taken date and move to new positions if I move them from one album to another.
Is there any way to re-number them in the order I have chosen so that they can then be sorted by number? The scans are all from pre-digital images that I wish to move to a photobook and I don't want to have to organise them twice!
Thanks for any suggestions.

I was a bit short, Chris, sorry. It is limited, what can be posted, when typing on an iPad.
Now I am back on my Mac. I meant the following: Batch Change the date for a large range of photos, that should have a date stepped in increments.
Select all Photos at once and use the command "Photos > Batch Change".
Then set the date for the first photo and select an increment, e.g. one minute.
Now all photos will get a new date assigned, incremented by one minute, in the sequence you have selected. So you will be able to sort them by date. This way it will be unnecessary to change the titles or filenames.

How do I organise my folders by date in iPhoto photo library?

Hi - Within the PHOTOS section in the source list I have created 200 folders which I have given a title based on a date. For example, 2013 12 10 for today. The thing is, I can't get them all to file in date order within the PHOTO section. All fine within EVENTS but not PHOTO. I guessed this was because iPhoto files within its library not by title of folder but by the date on which images were taken. This would figure as quite a lot of them are very old and have only recently been scanned in, thus making iPhoto assume that the scan date was the date the images were actually taken. So.....I have experimented with changing both the date and the time of various shots within a few folders. This works (I think!) for some folders which then file as I'd wish, but not for others. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Simon

Hi Terence
I may be using the wrong terminology! I am able to group images in PHOTOS in what I've described as folders. Ther are the folders imported from Windows into iPhoto and thae appear in the PHOTOS section pretty much as they appear in EVENTS apart from date (which is the title of each 'folder.) order.
If I turn off titles all my images appear individually in tagged date order in a big list, but ideally I like to continue to organise and view them (when I need to) in the same way as I view them within EVENTS. PHOTOS can cope with all that neatly enough, but the folders/albums will not file in date order.
Does that help?!

Change iPhoto events in Aperture to date order, instead of ABC?

Hi
I like how Aperture 2.0 works with iPhoto imports better, listing events. However, it lists my iPhoto events in ABC order. I'd much prefer them to be listed in order by the date they were shot or whatever like in iPhoto. Anyway to do this?
Thanks so much!!!

If, like me, you used Events as your main organizational tool - you will really be disappointed in Photos.   My Albums transferred, but I had over 100,000 pictures, taken over 13 years and organized mostly by the "Event/Title" line above each group of pictures.   Those titles did not transfer to Photos.
They do have an Album titled iPhoto Events and a lot of events are in there - however, not all and they are in a completely random order.   In my case, over 3,000 events with absolutely no way to find anything other than scroll through or possibly search. Also, at this time there is no way to move forward with Event organization as it does not exist.   There is not way in Photos to label each days photos with an event or title.   It's like one big huge shoebox with date order the only organization. Ridiculous.
I mostly use a 35mm SLR Camera without any GPS designation - so I now have 109,000 photos in one big list organized by nothing but the date taken or scanned.
I have also scanned a lot of family history photos and old family photos - fortunately I put most of those in Albums - otherwise Photos is very excited to just list them according to the date I scanned them which has nothing to do with the content of the photo.
Definitely back up your iPhoto before you do anything.   I am looking for an outside program that will continue my organization and not throw everything out on the whim of people who just use photos for social media and sharing.   This change made me realize that Apple has no intention of creating and keeping a serious organization system for amateur and professional photographers who have a large number of files that need to be organized and kept for many years.

The last 2 months photos have appeared right back at the beginning of my Events out of date order aothough both my digital camera and iPhone are correctly dated

1. The last 2 months photos imported at intervals on seperate occasions appeared in Last Import, but then disappeared when I imported some more. They should have come up as the latest event in Events, but they didn't. Eventually I found them right back at the beginning of my Events. They are dated
1st April 2013 - 27th April 2013,
2nd March 2013 - 18th April 2013 and
4th May 2013 - 20th May 2013
All my photos are correctly dated and have appeared as Events in chronological order. How can I correct this. I have a huge collection of 305 events = 11,000 photos = 58 GB
2. A number of assorted flagged photos have also appeared as an Event right back at the beginning.
I am using iPhoto '11 Version 9.4.3

In the Events mode check the View ➙ Sort menu to make sure it's set as you expected it to be. If it's By Date ➙ Descending the latest Events will be at the top.
