How do I get Iphoto to preserve the sort order when I transfer an album?

Here's my problem. I carefully sorted my album of 230 photos manually. Each photo was then numbered from 1 to 230. Then I used IPhoto Library Manager to transfer this album someplace else -- to my desktop, to a thumb drive, to Dropbox--- In every case, when I did that, the photos themselves transfered just fine, but the sort order I had so carefully constructed has fallen apart and cannot by retrieved. Even when I close and then reopen an Album I have transferred to my Desktop, it loses its sort order. This is driving my crazy because I need to transfer this album so that it preserves the slideshow I have designed for it. A slideshow, of course, demands preserving the order of the slides.
In short, how can I preserve the sort order of an album when I transfer it out of one library to another?

If you're transferring to another library, why are you exporting to the Finder (which is what Desktop, thumbdrive and DropBox are). This doesn’t understand manual sorting from iPhoto.
Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
Make an Album of the photos, then drag the pics into your preferred order.
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.

Why does iPhoto change the sort order of the photos in my album when I attempt to share via Photo Stream?

Why does iPhoto change the sort order of the photos in my album when I attempt to share via Photo Stream?

Did anyone find a good way to sort the shared albums better, so that the ones you share with can better find their way around.
You can arrange them manually in an album, select all and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date to menu option and check the box to add a set interval between photos. That will let the photos be sorted by date and be in the order you want:

How do I change the sort order in the file picker?

Hi there,
I've recently hit a problem with the Save and Open dialogs in Mavericks. Some how I have changed the sort order within the Column View so that it sorts by modified date and no longer by name. Unfortunately I can't work out how that happened or how to get it back so that it sorts by Name.
Please could anyone help?

Normally, you click on this thing (shown below) and select the sorting preference.

How do you change the sort order of mp3 songs?

I have transfered MP3 files from my PC to itunes & iPod and created my own compilation albums for some of my favourite artists. However I would like to change the order of the songs but I dont know how to do this. I cant see what itunes or the ipod is using to determine the sort order!
thanks
Tom

tinny's advice will work if you gave them an album name and they are actually listed in your library as an album. (Under Get Info, just tell it track 1 of 10, 2 of 10, etc.)
IF you created a playlist for the album, click on the column for the track numbers and then click and drag the songs into the order you want.

How to change the sort order of complex table in drop down

Hi Team,
I have a complex table which is working but the sort order i want in a different way. How can i change?
Regards,
Gupta

Gupta,
My screen field definitions are as follows:
1. Location
2. Partner
--In my previous reply, the first screen shot is without any parent index. So it is giving all values in alphabetical order only.
--After that I created parent index for partner with location, So the partner values are depend on location chosen.
In my TEST1:
--I just selected "Andhra pradesh" as location, In partner field drop down it is showing "Ragava" "Suman" "Sunitha" only.
--Because these are only the values belong to "andhra pradesh" location and these are coming in alphabetical order only.
TEST2:
--Here I selected "Gujrat" as location, In partner field drop down it is showing "Avinash" "Mohan" "Suman" which are belong to "Gujrat" location, These are also in alphabetical order only.
Hope this clears now. Still any query please post.
Thanks,
Swaroopa.

HT2470 Why does this not explain how to change the sort order?

Why does this (i.e. support at Apple.com) not explain how to change the sort order? I can "arrange" by Date Modified for example but it won't let me switch to use most recent dates first. Also, what is Apple-speak for arrange versus sort anyway? It seems I used to be able to click on a column heading in finder and get a drop down arrow allowing me to change the sort sequence.

Arrange roughly translates to "group the items in the folder." Sort is how each group is ordered. If you have arrange set to none, you can sort by anything. However, there is no way in the Arrange/Sort menu to choose the direction. The only way to do that is in the List View, and you must have Arrangement set to None.
I've submitted an Enhancement Request to allow choosing sort direction from the Arrange/Sort menu, but I haven't ever gotten a response, which is good and bad. Good because they will often respond that they have considered it and don't plan on implementing. Bad in that they've haven't implemented it.

How do I change the Sort order for Music Video's on the iPad

Hi All,
Apologies if this has been dealt with elsewhere - I can find posts about sort order for TV Shows and Movies but not Music Video's.
When I sync my music video's the appear in Track order in the video app and I cannot find how to change the sort order to 'by Artist' (or any other order come to that).
Any ideas please>

Hi!
Im afraid I believe this cannot be done yet. Sorry!
You can try submitting feedback to apple by clicking [here|http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html] if you wish.
Hope this helps!

How change the sort order of searched items so last search item shows first. I DO NOT mean the order of search engines, but existing searches by down arrow key

I want to be able to change the sort order of items I have already searched for in the search box. I want to be able to hit the down arrow key and see my previous searches in the order of last search showing first. At the moment I have no idea how it is sorting and it's very annoying to have to re-type a query I typed 5 minutes earlier but because I typed in another 10 since it is lost somewhere in the list. Can this be done, I have googled but did not find the topic anywhere. Just to clarify, I DO NOT MEAN the order of search engines (which is all that comes up in google), I mean the actual text typed in which has been saved in the drop down list.
Thanks

The "form fill" feature uses a "frecency" algorithm, frequency + recency, similar to the address bar autocomplete list.
I found an extension that seems relevant, but the reviews are old so I'm not sure it's still working: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/searchbar-autocomplete-order/ Searchbar Autocomplete Order].
But... is the autocomplete not working? I would expect that typing a couple characters of the earlier query would filter the list so you can easily select it? Or is the problem that the list doesn't remember enough searches for that?

Any way to set the sort order other than in the query?

The report has an OrderBy parameter so the user can select which field is used for sorting. The query has an OrderBy clause referencing the parameter. The problem is that it doesn't always pay any attention to the parameter. (Since it appears to be intermittent my suspicion is that it really never pays any attention to it but that sometimes whatever actually is determining the order gives the same results.)
The problem is that putting an OrderBy clause in a query is the only way I know of to determine the output order of a report. Is there any other way?
Thanks.

Unfortunately Break Order doesn't seem to be controlling the sort order. I found that the value was set on numerous fields but I've changed them all to None & it still isn't displaying in the order specified by the OrderBy parameter.
Note that this is a 'form layout' report with one page/record so it doesn't really have columns-but the pages are supposed to be printed in the order chosen by the user from a list of values. It doesn't seem to matter what's selected from that list though, the output appears in the same order as if no Order By clause is specified.
Can you think of anything else that would cause the report to ignore the order by clause?
thanks.

How to Control the Sorting Order of iPhone Contacts from Outlook?

In a series of editing steps we've loaded ca. 1,900 personal and business contacts from Outlook into a 1st gen iPhone with 2.0.1 software on it. To our surprise we found that while most of the entries were listed and sorted by company, certain entries were listed and sorted by the person's name. It looked random and there didn't seem to be any way to control it on the iPhone.
While troubleshooting the problem we synced up the iPhone with an empty Address Book on a MacBook Pro and found that the sort order flag was indeed set differently on these entries. When we changed the sorting flag of a contact in the Mac's Address Book to "Company" it also changed on the iPhone after the next sync.
Problem: In our business environment it is impossible to switch to Macs for contact administration. We need to do it from Outlook. This is one of several features needed for the adoption of iPhones.
Question: Is there a way to control this flag on the individual iPhone contact entries from Outlook Contacts?

Well, I think we figured it out.
Outlook doesn't offer a sorting flag on person or company name. Instead it uses a separate "File As" string. The problem with our contacts was that this "File As" string was frequently edited to be something else than exactly the personal or company name, e.g. it was set to an abbreviated company name. Once we set the "File As" to any of the defaults offered, i.e. person or company name, the sorting flag in iPhone was properly set through the synchronization.
Obviously, the application logic compares the content of these fields in Outlook and decides how to set the flag. If it can't find the company name in "File As" it defaults to person.
This was an expensive holdup for us. It cost us 2 man days to figure it out. Is there any place where such application logic is described?

When I download a podcast on my iPhone why is the release date missing? This really screws up the sort order.

Hello yung ron,
It may be that your iPhone's set to sync automatically, which can potentially remove any music that's been added to the device. It may help to set the device to 'manual mode,' so that you have complete and total control over what content is on the device.

Error: The sort order specified for distinct count records is incorrect

When processing a measure group with a distinct count measure in it, i get the following error:
"The sort order specified for distinct count records is incorrect."
I have no idea what this means - any ideas?

I had the same problem and your fix worked. In more detail, the problematic field was contract_no. I added a named calculation to the table in the Data Source View with the formula CHECKSUM(contract_no). Then I created the distinct count measure on that named calculation. And, lo and behold, the errors disappeared!
Thank you to Frank.

Controlling the sort order for a column?

I have a column which uses strings that I want to sort on. But, I don't want to do simple string sorting. Can I effect the sort order somehow? Maybe enumerate the values and assign integers to them?
For example, I want to use Low, Medium, and High. Or maybe: L-, L, L+, M-, M, M+, H-, H, H+
Any pointers on how to do this?

Todd,
Not knowing what you're trying to sort, it is difficult to make specific suggestions. Basically, two approaches come to mind. 1) start the lines of the column you want to sort with some type of sort code or 2) place that sort code in another column and sort on two columns - possible hiding the one with the codes.
The next problem is designing a code that fits your situation. In the example you gave something like 1L-,2L,3L,...,8H,9H may work because there are only 9 categories. If more than 9, two digit numbers may work but remember to use leading zeros to pad single digit numbers.
The code could also be alpha characters with relevance such as "Auto", "Clot", "Food", "Hous", "Misc", etc. But again, if these alphabetic categories are not in the order you like you may have to precede them with some sequence device to get what you want. Maybe something like "aFood", "bClot", "cHous", etc. would work. Designing a code applicable to a given situation that one can easily remember is not always easy.
Hope this gives to something to think about and if you care to give more details you'll surely get some specific suggestions.
