In my Movies list, what order are movies sorted in when viewing the 'Unwatched' tab in grid view? Because it sure isn't 'by title' like I have selected. What gives?

Sample movie order:
The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai
Bella
No Country for Old Men
Breach

So, turingtest2 has it exactly right... Unwatched movies view is sorted by Album Artist. So here's a nice little fix for that... you can go through and manually copy the Name of the movie into the Album Artist field, but if you have a lot of movies in this category, it will be tedious. A better option, is to go to www.dougscripts.com, and download the This Tag, That Tag applet. You can find a link here. You can then select ALL of your unwatched movies, run the applet, and elect to copy the movie Name into the Album Artist field. Boom! And since Doug has done such an awesome job of saving you a bunch of time and effort, throw him a little donation.
Peace,
Jared

What order are find results in?

When I use Spotlight and then select the "show in finder" option, what order
are the results supposed to be in? Alphabetical, you'd think, if "name" was
selected. But there seem to be many sublists in a large set of result, each
restarting some sort of order every so many lines. And why wouldn't clicking
"name" again simply resort these? It seems the only sort that affects the
entire list in a predictable manner is sort by "type". Have I inadvertently
selected something wrong or am I missing something? This makes spotlight
much less useful to me.
Anyone notice this?

Hi Ves,
The AFCS dev guide mentions this in passing (3.1.5.1) but doesn't go into quite enough detail - we'll make a note to improve this for the next go-round.
Essentially, all items for a given CollectionNode (from all of its nodes) are synched in the order that they were published, irrespective of which node they were published to. You can actually put a breakpoint down in MessageManager.receiveItems to watch this - all items for the entire collection are received in one big blob, then pushed onto an array, then sorted according to their timestamps and order, then sent as itemReceive up to the collectionNode.
So yes, you could easily end up with an itemReceive for EVERYONE, followed by an itemReceive for HOSTS, then another one for EVERYONE. We make sure that they essentially come in the same order they did for people who were actually in the room at the time. For example in the chat pod, if I asked a question to the HOSTS node, which they answered on the public EVERYONE node, I'd want the items to be received in the right order, or the collective history wouldn't make sense.
For separate CollectionNodes, their synchronization are kept separate (one at a time), since they're the result of individual subscribe() requests - the advice here is that if you have a series of items that have some dependency on order of arrival, you should make sure they're part of the same CollectionNode (which makes sense). If you need A to finish synching before B begins, put those items on different collectionNodes and call their subscribe() methods in that order. So, you can have it either way, depending on how you want to set it up.
hope that helps

In IPhoto 11 I have made an album and rearrange the photos in the order I require them. When export the album to allow me to burn them to disk to be viewed in Windows they do not maintain the same order. What am I doing wrong?

In IPhoto 11 I have made an album and rearrange the photosin the order I require them. When export the album to allow me to burn them todisk to be viewed in Windows they do not maintain the same order. What am I doingwrong?

When you sort the Album in iphoto are you sorting manually? Or by date of the photos?
When you sort in the Finder how are are you sorting?
Here's one way to do what you're trying to do:
Create your Album and sort the pics as you want them. Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
Sort on Filename in the Finder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

I just transferred "all movies" to "My Passport" hard drive. Several images of the same clips appear. Is each image a valid clip? Why do I have so many?

Okay. Trash the stuff on the External Drive.
All Movies is not a place - it's a list. Specifically its a list of all the movies on your Mac. Never interact with anything in iPhoto via these All Movies or All Images lists.
In iPhoto select the Movies you want to move and go File -> Export. Set the Kind: to Original and export from iPhoto to this external drive.
Then once you're sure the export has gone correctly, erase them from iPhoto.

The screen resolution in 1920x1200 dropped on my MacBook Pro 17". Seems like I have not the same pixels. There are also vertical, thin lines on the screen. Makes the screen look milky. Anybody knows what's going on and how to fix it?

Take it to an Apple Store or other service provider for testing.

Must be serious because you have stated the problem 4 times now.
Here are a number of things that you can try and maybe one of them will help.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
You can also try going to the App Store, find an app that needs an update, tap on the app icon to bring up the description page, then tap on install that way, rather than using the Update option from the app updates screen.
And ... You can always install the updates in iTunes on your computer and then sync them to the iPad.

Never mind, got it to work. I stumbled around on Google for a while and somehow ended up reading things from the 'jailbroken' community. They had easy instructions to get out of Recovery mode. Thanks anyway though!
P.S. For anyone who experiences this, here is the fix: Hold Power and Home in unison for 6 seconds, then power on as normal.

In what order are results from gather_database_stats 'LIST AUTO' returned?

11.2.0.1.0. The results from the following seem to have some order to them (groupings of objects returned alphabetically). Didn't see anywhere in the docs to indicate what's getting returned in what order (empty stats, stale stats). I looked at table stats for one at the top of the list and it looks like the table had stats gathered recently, so i'm confused. I ran this from sqlplus:
set serveroutput on size unlimited;
DECLARE
ObjList dbms_stats.ObjectTab;
BEGIN
dbms_stats.gather_database_stats(objlist=>ObjList, options=>'LIST AUTO');
FOR i in ObjList.FIRST..ObjList.LAST
LOOP
dbms_output.put_line(ObjList(i).ownname || '.' || ObjList(i).ObjName || ' ' || ObjList(i).ObjType || ' ' || ObjList(i).partname);
END LOOP;
END;
/

Enlightened answer: "So bug off and work with what you get"
The report was run on a database that doesnt have any auto stat collection occurring. There are 4000 items returned in the list. One of the items looks ok when you look at dba_tables (row count correct and last_analyzed recent). Just trying to figure out why this table was included in the list. Might be the way stats collected for it isn't updating some mechanism that gather_database_stats is utilizing. From what I can tell the order is 1) tables with no stats, 2) indexes with no stats, 3) stale tables.

In what order are root hint DNS servers used?

Hey guys, I was wondering how the list of root hints were actually used when the DNS server performs iterative queries.
Since it's a list that seems to be in alphabetical order, does it simple use a.root-servers.net. first until it is unavailable, and go down the list? That seems unlikely since that one root would receive disproportional load compared to the others. I am
aware that most of the roots use anycasting, so multiple servers are behind each entry.
Maybe it's round-robin?
I suppose I can capture packets and see what is actually going on... I might do that if no one replies!

Hi Anton2,
Thank you for posting here.
I searched many articles about root hints, but it seems that there is not similar articles which mentioned the used order of root servers.
As you said above, I captured packets in my lab. The DNS server didn’t use the alphabetical order to query these root servers. And I didn’t find the round robin phenomenon.
Capturing packets is a good method to verify your ideas. Just do it.
For more details about cache.dns file, please refer to the article below,
