How can I sort folders in descending sequence?

There are two display options in the Finder, Arrangement and Sort. They are both under the same menu item/toolbar button. A regular click brings up the Arrangement menu. Holding down the option (alt) key brings up the Sort menu.
Except for Arrange by Name, all of the Arrangements are groupings. It groups the items by whatever criteria you chose. Within the groups, you can sort the items by other criteria.
If you arrange by Name, you can't sort by anything else.
Also, with an Arrangement set, you cannot adjust the sort direction.
To control the sort direction, set Arrangement to None, and sort by Name. Open the List view of that folder and click on the sort triangle in the column header.

How can i sort folders by Artists and Albums

Hello.
I'm new to Apple and as much as i would love to use it they make things so dark COMPLICATED transitioning from a Windows where they make everything so simple and clean.
Can anyone please tell me that there IS a way to sort all my music folders by artists, albums, and such.
on windows. if i click on a folder/album it will open up and all the songs of that album will be there and i can sort them by the artist.
Here on apple, these stupid folders can only be sorted by DATE MODIFIED, SIZE, KIND, and such. It is so FRUSRTATING!!
If there is a way to sort my folders the WAY i want to with the numerous options like Windows has available, can someone PLEASE show me.
Thank you!

You're kidding right? Windows makes things easier? You can sort by name in any Finder window, but if you're dealing with Music you should be using iTunes.

How can I sort my photos in a descending order as I could in iPhotos

How can I sort my photos in a descending or ascending order as I could in iPhotos?

Greetings Regina,
Hope Waukesha is treating you well, haven't been there in years
Events are sorted in the following ways:
If Date, Keyword, Title, and Rating are not what you are looking for then it is time to start using Albums.
Highlight the images you wish to work with and then go to File > New > Album (you can drag more images into this Album later if you want to arrange more of them.)
Once you have the images in an Album you can use the "Manually" sort option which means you can drag the images into whatever order your heart desires.
Hope that helps.

HT3529 How can I sort my iMessages into folders?

How can I sort my iMessages into folders?
I have always been able to sort my text messages in this way on other phones but cannot see any way of doing it on my iPhone.
I really need this facility as I use my phone for a number of different projects and need to be able to keep project message streams together in one place.
Thanks

You don't, as this is not a feature of the iPhone messages app.

How can I sort lines of data (alphabetically) in the new pages 5.0?

How can I sort lines of data (alphabetically) in the new pages 5.0?
It was very simple to do in the previou version of pages.

I'm not sure why people are torturing themselves with Pages 5 given the nearly universal outcry on this forum and the incredibly negative reviews elswhere, such as the App Store.
Pages 4.3 should still be in an iWorks folder within your Applications folder. Just use that.
Please remember to tell Apple what we need from them at:

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 can I sort albums in a genre by release date in the itunes store

How can I sort albums in a genre by release date in the itunes store

Did you figure this out? Am having the same problem.
EDIT:
Found the group in store (in this case Juana Molina) It said music -> alternative
Changed to column view, and could not find the artist at all in any of the sub categories.
iTunes is really the biggest pain in the .... and has gotten worse over the years.

HT1267 The Apple ID in my new IPhone is not the same as my ID . how can i sort this

Hi, The Users ID on My New IPhone Is not the same as my apple ID
How can I sort this ...

Got it!!!! A re-install is NOT the answer. You need to turn on individual notifications under Settings > Facebook > Push Notifications, BUT (and this is a big and confusing BUT) you also need to turn on global push settings under Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendards > Fetch New Data (and change the Push slider to 'on'). This doesn't sound like it makes sense, but I guess that the push slider under 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars' is actually for ALL push notifications on iPhone, and not just Mail, Contacts and Calendar apps!

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.

How can I sort the words in a document into an alphabetical list?

How can I sort the words in a document into an alphabetical list? Thanks!

Copy the words to the Mac's clipboard (Edit menu> Copy)
Paste into TextEdit
Next open the Edit > Find > Find window in Text Edit.
Highlight a space between two words and Edit menu > copy, paste into the Find field
Next create a return in the middle of your text and copy that and paste into the Replace field
Click Replace All.
Now Edit > Select All and Edit > Copy
Open a Spreadsheet program with Sort ability and paste into the second column cell from the top
place a "a" into the top column cell, select the entire colum
Sort desending order
Now if you need it out of spreadsheet format, then your going to need to copy just the data cells (not the entire column to avoid problems) and Paste "Special" as unformatted text into a word processing program
If you need to get rid of the Returns, do the opposite you did in Text Edit, replace the Returns with Spaces
A chore, but it's rare one needs to sort words into alaphabetical order.
FYI, I used TextEdit and the free LibreOffice (Spreadsheet and Word Processing) for the above effects.

How can I create Folders in iPod and keep all bands & artists separate?

Hi guys,
How can I create folders for different artists and keep them separate? Is it somthing that I need to do in iTunes in my Mac or import them a certain way?
Anyone please,
Thanks in advance,
Zia

If you have the artist information entered in iTunes, then they should already be organized like that on iPod.
Go to music-->artists

Pages: How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns?

How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns? I have opened the inspector to the edit columns and rows under Table. It will sort the column, but then it changes the other colums as well. I know that if I use Numbers, it will work, but I want to know how to do the same thing in Pages.

Hi Peter,
Numbers sorts full rows on values in selected column(s). The technique for sorting a single column is essentially the same as Jerry is describing for Pages tables—separate the (data in the) column to be sorted, sort it, return it to the table.
In Numbers the actual column may be separated from the original table, sorted, then returned. In Pages, the data must be extracted, sorted, then pasted back in, overwriting the unsorted data (if it was left in the original table).
iWork tables follow a database model in which each row is a Record, and each column holds a Field within the records.
As evidenced by the current question (and several similar questions arising in the Numbers community) that model doesn't apply to the way some users, especially some who come in from the MS Excel world, use tables.
With Excels model—islands of data on a single large table, the ability to sort one or a selected few columns of data makes sense. One 'island' may comprise only cells AA21:AH50. Sorting that small 'table' should be possible without disturbing the rest of rows 21-30, which are probably part of one or more other 'data islands' in the sea that is a MS Excel spreadsheet.
In Numbers, each of those 'islands' would be a separate Table, and that Table would be sortable without disturbing other Tables in the document.
Regards,
Barry
