IPhoto & iPhone Album order is different

I can't seem to find any answers to this, I have around 100 albums in iPhoto on my Mac, they are all synced to my iPhone, but on the phone they are just being displayed in a seeming random order.
I have removed all the photos from the phone and started again, but they go back in the same order.
In iPhoto the albums are actually in alphabetical order, have I've clicked the sort albums option, but this did nothing?
Any ideas?

Which iPhoto version?
The order of selected iPhoto albums in the Albums window under the Photos tab for my iPhone sync preferences is reflected on my iPhone.
I'm using the selected albums, events, and faces option so maybe this makes a difference but it shouldn't.

IPhoto import album order

I've imported my iPhoto collection-but my albums have been re-arranged alphabetically. Generally I've arranged them sequentially (generally matching rolls but only with the useful shots) except for a few collections along certain themes.
Is there any way I can rearrange these imported albums in Aperture, that doesn't require a numerical naming scheme, requiring manual renaming of each album?

Hi Terrence and OT,
Thank you for your support but I have already tried to do that.
The problem is a bit more complex and maybe I was not clear enough in my explanations!
On the screenshot of my Iphoto album above you can see pictures twice, also if I click on the first picture I will see in full screen a completely different picture (I will actually see the first picture of my album, so the pictures were downloaded in the right order - I mean the chronological order of when the pictures were taken which is normally the way pictures are always downloaded on iPhoto - but I can't have a clear overview of my album.
As you can se below when I click on the 4th picture (the water fountain) I can see a completely different picture even if the thumb version on the pic shows the water fountain).

IPhoto albums order display on iPhone

Using iPhoto 9.5.1 on new Macbook Air with OS UTD, and iPhone 6 using iOS 8
I know how to sort Events album orders in iPhoto View>Sort Events>by date & descending
but in my iPhone, they are all in random order.
I have synced multiple times.
How do I get them to display on my iPhone like they do in iPhoto (i.e. chronologically descending)?
Also, why is my selected Key Photo for each album lost when the albums are on the iPhone?

iPhoto for iOS is no longer supported nor works in iOS 8 and has been dropped from further development by Apple. Go to the iPhoto for iOS forum and look for how to migrate photos from iPhoto to the Photos app on the iPhone.
It's a whole new ballgame now. Here's some info on how the Photos apps now works.
Your photos are still on your phone. With iOS 8 there is no My Photo Stream or Camera Roll any more. The MPS has been replaced with the Recent Activity album.
The CR is replaced by the Collections mode. The closest we can get to the Camera Roll is to turn off the Summarize Photos feature in the Settings/Photos & Camera pane and view the photos in the Collections/Moments window.
The photos will be in chronological order when scrolled up from the bottom of the window.
The Recent Activity album is showing the photos added in the last 30 days going back to 8/20 (today being 9/18). In iPhoto on a Mac the My Photo Stream is showing more like 31 days, 8/19 to today, 8/20. It must be how the two devices calculate the last 30 days.
WARNING: If you use iTunes to sync photos between your iPhone or iPad and your Mac do not activate the iCloud Drive. Doing so will kill the capability of using iTunes to sync with your mobile device and disable Documents & Data syncing for your iCloud account on OS X Mavericks and earlier Macs, as well as iOS 7 and earlier devices.

How do I order multiple different cards from iPhoto in the same order?

I would like to create and order numerous different cards in iPhoto. How can I put the different cards in one order instead of each different card being a separate order?

don't they read these forums? What is the point of the forum if they don't listen to our voices. Guess this is a load of **** too then! Eesh, should have stuck to PC! At least you know Microsoft are a bunch of robbing ****** who don't care... Apple make a show of caring but they clearly don't
I have had a long chat on the phone with a lovely chap in Ireland who works for Apple 'Executive' Relations - not sure if that is a joke too mind you!
Take a chill pill!

How can I play multiple albums from same artist in album order on iPhone 4?

Just purchased an iPhone 4 from Verizon. When I select an Artist and then choose "All Songs", the only choice I am provided is to play the songs in alphabetic order. I would prefer to play them in the original album order. Is there a setting that can be changed to accomplish this?

For those who arrive here later than this answer, the app is now called "Continue" & is available free with addware or paid without.

Is there a way to order several different iPhoto projects at one time, on the same order? (to avoid paying shipping on each individual project?)

No, unless they're all prints.

How to sync photos on iphone album to iphoto

i recently got a new hard drive for my macbook, so all my photos on iphoto are gone. i still have the photos on my iphone, but they're in their own album, and everytime i try to sync my iphone to iphoto, i can only access the photos in the camera roll. is there a way to trasnfer the photos in the iphone albums to iphoto?

Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos are reduced on your iPhone. This is why Apple does not support transferring these photos in the opposite direction.
Photos on your computer's hard drive should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data. Did you lose all important data on your computer's hard drive, or just your iPhoto library?
There are 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring this data in the opposite direction, but such utilities are not supported by Apple and the original resolution of these photos is lost.
Here is one.

Trying to make a book - iPhoto changing the order of my manually sorted album. Help?

I'm trying to make a book from an album.
I have manually sorted the photos in the album and wanted autoflow to fill the book in.
However, when I create a new book from the album, iPhoto seems to re-order the photos by one of the other options (eg: by date.) If I change that sort option under view - sort, and switch it to manual, it wants me to manually re-sort based on the previous setting. I have already done my sorting in the album. Is there a configuration I can do that will get iPhoto to recognise that manual album order?
(iphoto 11 v9.2.1)

The only solution I've seen reported is to change the dates of the photos using the batch change command with a increment so the date sort will be the same as your manual sort - you can search the forum for one of these posts - and I do not remember how they proposed to undo the date change

How can I order two different calendars from iPhoto in the same order?

How can I order two different calendars from iPhoto in the same order?

You cannot - the "Buy Calendar" button is only available, while viewing one calendar. You can order more than one copy of the same calendar on one order, however.

Album order on ipod differs--why?

I have my photos organized nice on iPhoto, in albums by year and month, but the order is shuffled on the iPod. Why? Any solutions? Replies would be greatly appreciated.

I have ensured that all the details of each song in the album match up completely, i.e. the same year, artist, composer etc.
So when you checked the "details" with the Get Info window for the song, did you look in the Info tab to verify that the +Track Number+, 1 of 11, 2 of 11, etc... was entered correctly for each song in the album set?

I've tried to place an iphoto album order and it quits half way through the up

I've tried to place an iphoto album order and it quits half way through the upload process. A prompt comes up saying "iphoto quit unexepectedly". It always quits at the same spot, page 17. I've tried many times. It worked last year when I made the same type of photo album. Anyone have any ideas? I have a MAC OS X 10.6.8
thanks!

How can I get iTunes to display the tracks from a CD in their original (album) order?

To be absolutely honest, I don't really understand what this box is for, so I shall just use it to repeat and expand on my question. (I have already sent a "Feedback" comment on the same topic).
How can I get iTunes to display the tracks from a CD in their original (album) order?
It seems to me that there is something very basic wrong with the way iTunes handles CD Tracks.
Professionally produced CD tracks are seldom if ever in a randomised order. Why then does iTunes seem unable to display the tracks in the order they appear on the original CD source - whether from a personally owned CD or from a download from the iTunes Store?
Some music demands a specific, non-alphabetic sequence in order to make sense. Why does it seem that iTunes only offers Alphabetic, or reverse alphabetic order - both of which make a nonsense of the original, often intended order of tracks?
Why not replace the so-called "cover-art" in the bottom left hand corner if the iTunes window - which, while it may look attractive to some, gives the barest of information concerning the original disc, with a list of the original CD tracks in their original order, so that the user can easily reestablish the order in which they should be played.
As I would expect legibility might be a problem with doing this, why could not the original contents, (in their original order), at least, be displayed when the "cover art" is double clicked-on - the result of which at present gives me an enlarged version of the "Cover Art". While on the subject of the contents of the source disc, what about all the album notes which someone takes trouble to write in order to increase the appreciation of the music on the CD and the listener's general background knowledge of the artists involved. Such notes, it seems to me, have considerable intrinsic value in their own account. I would, I think, normally be prepared to buy such "Sleeve notes" - so long as a "taster" was supplied (as it is for the music) - for something like the cost of a single 'Tune" on iTunes.
These two aspects let Apple iTunes down enormously, in my opinion. I think that by chopping even quite protracted sequences of music up into bits does no one any favours - except perhaps Apple's already quite substantial bank balance. People have to be aware that two and a half, to three and a half minutes is a very short time to develop a piece of worthwhile music, and that there are many, many composers, not all of whom are alive today who have written music that huge masses of mankind value for the enrichment of their lives and the human condition in general.
Please make the viewing of iTunes tracks in their correct order by default possible. By all means have the alphabetical variations available as offering a different approach to the music, but not the sole approach to it - PLEASE.
Frustratedly yours
Alan Whitaker
PS I work at my old 24" iMac Intel Core 2 machine which runs OS "Tiger" - because it is more beautiful to look at, the screen is more pleasant to work on, and because, in some ways it is more capable (it will run FreeHand MX without needing a "patch"), than my more recent 21.5" which runs "Snow Leopard". (I don't find it that much slower, either).

Dear Mike
Thanks for the support. I am utterly amazed that after all the hype about how good iTunes is that it cannot play a downloaded CD in the correct order, and that what that order should be is not available directly from within one's own iTunes installation. (I know that one can go back to the iTunes Store to check what the order should be, but having downloaded the tracks surely iTunes is clever enough to retrieve this important information.
My iTunes to differ from yours in that I have also noticed that it seems unable to download copies of my "talking books" in the correct order either. But in my case it downloads them - from a CD - in order, but with the first track downloaded first - so that it appears at the bottom of the column of tracks so that it would get played last! (At least this is, while being inexplicable, a relatively "logical" bit of blundering and because of this is relatively easy to put right!).
I like many genres of music, some of which are not really programmed except perhaps by the artist performing them. I know that Frank Sinatra was very careful to programme his album songs to obtain a particular effect and in relation to the keys of the music. iTunes presumes to know better.
Film scores may be totally randomly put together, in some cases, but in others the order is vital to one's appreciation of the music as a whole and how it relates to the plot of the film.
In symphonic music most works are divided into sections and are conceived by the composer that way. Some individual sections may gain a life of their own if played separately, but they are never complete in the sense that the composer envisaged them without being placed in their proper context.
Opera and probably most choral music too, is similar except that the words may well become meaningless if the order is changed at the whim of a piece of ill-written computer code, while ballet music has to be heard totally within its sequential context or it becomes meaningless.
Finally, I would venture that iTunes, by jumbling up the order of the tracks as recorded on a CD, does an immense disservice, not only to the music on a particular CD, but to music in general, by expressing everything in terms of "Songs" - which it seems to interpret as stand-alone items of between 2 and 4 minutes whatever the genre. Even the way the iTunes publicity speaks of how many "songs" it can store instead of how many minutes or hours of recorded sound. This has to be another brick in the wall of "dumming-down" of people's expectations, and the shortening of their attention spans.
I don't know about anyone else, but I feel betrayed by Apple over this. Perhaps the look, feel and general presentation of an item are not the most desirable features of a consumer product. Maybe it should be judged more on it fitness for the purpose for which it was sold. There is one other possibility - that Apple are trying to redefine "Music" - and that everything that lasts longer than about 3.5 minutes or is in the form of what could for want of a better term be called symphonic in the broadest sense is something else - not "Music" within Apple's new definition, at all!
Well that's off my chest! now I can get down to creating some sort of order in my iTunes Libraries, knowing that I have to reconsult all the sources in order to confirm the source playing order.
Anyway thanks again. At least I know that it is not just me

How can I sort photos on iPads, I have several models and the order is different on every one.

We use iPads as photo albums. I have several model iPads and the photo order is different on Avery one. How do I get them to sort in the order I want, preferably alphabetically.

It's a lot easier to use 3rd party apps like Photo Manager Pro. You just tap "Edit" and drag the photos around.
