In iPhoto 11 trying to create a book from an album.

Question

Trying to create a book from album in iPhoto 11.  The photos in the album were manually sorted to be in the order I want.  When I select the album as the source for the book the pictures are re-aranged and placed in a different order.  How do I use the album as the source for the book and keep the pictures in the order I placed the album in?

Answer 1

I found an solution in and other discussion (inspired on the answer of tigerjoker):
Stay in the album with all the Photos selected.  Select Photos, Batch Change and select Date in the drop down menu.  Input what ever date you want.  Tick the box "Add 1 minute between each photo". Click ok
Create your book and all the photos should be in the order you selected.
This worked for me, the original answer from tigerjoker was a bit more complicated:

I had the problem of arranging photos in the album, but when you transfer to a book, it automatically rearranges the photos by date.  As you say, this is a glitch in '11 as it wasn't a problem in earlier version.  I found a solution.  Go to the album and Select All photos.  Select Photos, Batch Change and select Title and Text in the drop down menus.  Type a name in the box, like Birthday Party, then tick the box Append a Number To Each Photo.  Click OK.
Then, stay in the album with all the Photos selected.  Select Photos, Batch Change and select Date in the drop down menu.  Input what ever date you want.  Untick the box about Add 1 minute between each photo, then tick the box Modify original files.  Click OK.
Create your book and all the photos should be in the order you selected.
