Can I over-ride the default setting in Organizer to allow sorting photos by filename ?

I am converting slides from the 1970's and 80's to digital files and using PSE 8 to Organize them but it is important to me that they stay in the order of the file name I give them and NOT "Date: newest first or last" because it would seem that PSE, in the absence of metafile information, uses the date and time I uploaded the file to the Organizer as the "Date:". ACDSee has a much more sensible arrangement in giving me full control of how my photos are sorted. I am being driven to using ACDSee as the organizer and PSE as the photo editor, a not very convenient arrangement. So my question is, "Can I over-ride the default setting in Organizer to allow sorting photos by filename ?"

The type of file system that you're trying to set up, is actually done better by creating you own file heirarchy in Windows, and then viewing by import batch. For example; you might create a top level folder "My Slide Scans", then perhaps, "My son John". So, the scans of john all go in the same folder, you import the folder in one batch, and you're where you want to be.
That said, PSE will fight you at every turn to do this, since with the scanner hooked up with PSE, PSE is going to want to store your photos in "scanned photos" and import them as you scan them.
I woud suggest this. After the scan and import, use PSE to move the photos to their final destination folder, say " Hawaii 1994", and create a tag of the same name". Then when you're done scanning photos of this event, use the tag to view all the scans at once. Then, delete all the photos from the organizer. (Yeah, sounds radical I know). Take heart! All you've gotta do then is to reimport the whole folder. All the same name photos will be in one import batch. And with all the photos of any given topic in one folder, you'll be able to also use Windows Explorer in any number of modes to view the photos outside PSE.
Keep in mind you can rename batchs of photos by selecting them, or by import batch or even tag, then "Ctrl. > Shift > N" will bring up the name change dialog box.
This technique is quite contensious, but, it makes a whole lot more sense than storing all your photos in the "My Photos" folder on the "C:/" drive where any viral or malware hiccup might cause the necessity of a reformat, which could cause the loss of years of work.
If a name search is a priority, that would be "Ctrl ."Shift" > "K" then type in whatever your heart desires.
Caution: Before attempting a delete/ reimport manuver, Alway, always, write the tag and file info to the photo. "File" >"Write Tag and Properties Info to File".
I always am quite adamantine about suggesting that you do NOT use the same physical HDD that contains Windows to store your photos, that's just asking for trouble. HDDs are quite cheap nowadays, and they're worth every penny in piece of mind. Plus to use a storage ("Volume") drive, you have to create your own file heirarchy anyway, so that leads right back to the beginning of this discussion.

Is there a way to sort photos by filename?

Is there a way to sort photos by filename in iPhoto? For some reason iPhoto is sorting my photos based on some date that is not the EXIF date. The built-in photo app used to do this but it now sorts the photos on filename. This works just fine for me as my filenames are something like "20120419-001a - Some Title.jpg".
Thanks,
Mike

NO way to sort by name as far as I know.

How do I sort photos by filename. I have some 5000 photos involved in different albums

I have many albums each that need sorting by filename. Any advice?

Is this with iPhoto? Or on an iPad? If iPhoto, have you looked at the View Menu -> Sort Photos options?

How can I sort photos by file name in Photos?

New Photos seems to be very limiting, even compared to iPhoto. How can I sort photos by filename? Many photos that worked in iPhoto, can't be viewed in Photos.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Titles don't use the filename any longer, but if you must have them you might be interested in Léonie's script here.

When viewing an album on the iPhone you can tap "Photos" at the bottom and that will show all photos by date. Unfortunately though it is all photos, not just the album you are currently viewing.
What I have done is the following. On the computer I have a main folder (e.g. iPhone photos) and then make sub-folders within that. Placing photos that will be synched to the iPhone into various subfolders gives quite a bit of organizational capablility. In iTunes when you select the main folder to sync, the sub-folders will show on the iPhone as separate albums. Beyond that, in one case where I really wanted a specific sort within an album I renamed the photos on the computer (something like A-picxxx, B-picxxx) so they sorted on the computer alphabetically in the order I want on the phone. That sort order was maintained after the sync.
Note that each time you sync using iTunes, the non-Camera Roll pictures on the phone will be set to match the current iTunes settings/photos -- so you can experiment.

PE9 - sort photos by file name?

PE9 - how can I sort photos by file name so I can drag and drop into the timeline?

Date is all I want to sort by, so for me it is a better way than filename. Originally they were sorted by name on iOS devices (up to iOS 3.1.3), but Apple must have decided (possibly via feedback) that capture date was a better way. You can always try leaving feedback and maybe in the future there will be a choice : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
If you want to sort them in a different order then you can do so if you use a Mac and transfer the photos via iPhoto or Aperture. Otherwise you can either manipulate their capture dates prior to syncing so that they are in the order you want (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4221), or there are third-party apps in the iTunes App Store that apparently allow sorting e.g. Photo-Sort for iPad or Sort Shorts iPad Edition

Sort photos on ipad

Is there REALLY no way to sort photos on the current iPads (iOS 8.1)? It used to sort by file name and now it seems to do it by metadata dates... I want my images in a particular order for presentation and do not want to have to go through iPhoto...

I have a similar problem with my ipad4. I purchased this to be able to show photos in the order I want. I organise in albums, the photos
being in file name order within the album, all on my PC. Everything is ok UNTIL you edit a photo, which I do on my PC. It may be saved with the same filename but when synced via itunes the photo is placed at the end of the album. This makes the slideshow feature redundant as I cannot dictate the order.
When the photos app is first opened the scrolling of albums is not smooth.
If I view in photos view then the edited photos are under a different date so making this view impossible to navigate, as the edited photos
are no longer shown at the date they were originally taken. This means that the photo view of moments etc is not fit for purpose.
Whichever way I try to view my photos I apparently have no control, contrary to the much heralded advertising for Ios8.
It seems I purchased a very expensive device that originally worked well, but now is only fit for the rubbish bin.

How can I sort photos by file name on my IPAD?

I have sorted all my photos by filename (on a windows PC). After downloading the photos to my IPAD they are sorted by shooting date. This is for sure not what I wanted. Does anybody know how I can solve this (sort my photos on filename!)? Thanks.

From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4221 :
If you are using Windows, or are not using iPhoto or Aperture on Mac OS X, you must change the Date Taken of photos to change their sorting on your device. Third-party photo-management software may be able to do this.

Sorting photos by date

I've synced my photos to my iPod but within each folder they show up in filename order. I've given each file a name that actually means something, so this is not a useful order for display purposes.
Is it possible to get the iPod to show photos in date order? I've used a little utility to set the modification date of all my photos to be the same as the date the photo was taken (extracted from the EXIF information in the JPEG).
If not, why not?

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.

In iPhoto if I select View, then Sort Photos by title, how do I stop it reverting to sorting by date when I close iPhoto and re-open it later?

In iPhoto if I select View, then Sort Photos by title, how do I stop it reverting to sorting by date when I close iPhoto and re-open it later?

In what mode, Events, Photos or in an Album, are you when you select View ➙ Sort ➙ By Title?
As a first fix attempt try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

What is the easiest way to sort photos within an album. I have photos from a trip but they are all mixed up. Photos from one part of the trip are showing up in other parts. Please help.

I have a MacBook Pro laptop and am trying to use iPhoto. I uploaded pictures but they uploaded out of order. Photos taken from different locations on my trip are all mixed up and I would like to sort them in chronological order. Things I have tried have been time consuming and often take several attempts before the moved photo "takes" to its new location within the album. If anyone can provide step by step instructions for this senior, it would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Self explanatory.
You could try creating an iPod version of the films.
Use CTRL and B to display the Menu bar shown above. Alternatively, use the ALT key, followed by the F key, the W key and finally the I (eye) key - that's (menu)/File/Create New Version/Create iPod or iPhone version.

How to sort photos in albums by date in iPhoto '11

For some reason that I have yet to divine, iphoto 11 jumbles the order of photos in any album I create. For example, I have an album called 'Family', and rather than display the photos by the date they were taken, it jumbles them into a mish mash of images. I took 50 pics yesterday and imported them last night. I opened iphoto today to make some edits, and the photos have been dispersed throughout an album of thousands of images. I know I can go and examine the images in 'Events' or 'Photos', but I'd like to see them in context with the rest of my family photos.
Is there some way to get albums to sort photos by date taken like the older versions of iphoto?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

I may be getting confused with what you need here but does going to:
"View --> Sort Photos --> By Date" solve things?
