I have a editing issue with (sequence) rating system in Bridge.

Question

So I am editing in Bridge staring each keeper photo and as I do so the newly rated or 1 star photo I just  marked skips ahead in front of the  next photo. So in other words lets say I rated or stared photo number 1278 and the next one is 1279 and after marking 1278 it goes in front of 1279 reversing the sequence? What is causing this to happen. Also yesterday a whole batch of photos from a shoot (3500 of them) lost all time sequence ( I am viewing as "Date created" reverted to one time rather than when they were actually shot much later. I had two hardrives of the same photos and on my backup folder on the other hard drive this did not occur. Unfort I had edited almost the whole corrupted folder so going back to the clean back up HD was not what I wanted to do. Any ideas on this. the files that converted to the wrong date created also have a  out of focus quality as if the file is opening but never clears up.

Answer 1

DOes tha make sense? Before you had me reset it I could
scroll thru in bridge and use just single key grading actions  and now I must
use command Action.
Your Bridge set up must have been really messed because the normal behavior
to set rate and label has always been with the two key combination when in a
workspace with content window set up. When in content panel pressing a key
without command brings you straight to the file (or first in series) with
the first character that equals the key you pressed. If you have a filename
starting with 3 pressing the key 3 for 3 star rating would move the focus
from your selected file and bring you straight to that other file with a
name starting with 3.
However you could also use other options. Not only slideshow allows you to
use one key, also the full screen (hit space bar to get there) or the Review
mode (hit cmd+B to get there) in both mode you can move the files with arrow
key and use one key for rate or label.
two key  action such as COMMAND 1 to make it a 1 star or COMMAND 6 to make it
this makes for allot more work and more carpal tunnel 
nightmare lol!
It is also not more work to hit one ore two keys at the same time and using
the cmd + . (dot) and Cmd+ , (comma) also increases or decreases your rating
with one star.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is nothing to laugh about but highly unlikely to get
from using a key board.
There must be a fucntion to make thsi change?
No, there is not.
