Iphoto rolls in latest date order

Sorry to be a muppet here. I dont usully use iphoto but am trying to set it up for a friend.
The rolls are showing oldest to latest with oldest at the top of the heap.
Logic would dictate that the latest are at the top oldest at the bottom.
All ican find is how to organise photos within a roll, how to organise the rolls them selves?

If you are running iPhoto 6 then the sort order should look like this:
The latest rolls will be at the top of the list. If they aren't try the following: Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE : If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

'Film Rolls' View loses sort order when finding photos via Keywords or text

I have my iPhoto Library sorted by Film Roll so when I select 'Library' in the source list I see my rolls listed in date order in the viewing area.
If I try and find photos using the keywords pane or the search field the rolls which match are displayed in the viewing area but the order they are listed is no longer according to their date but some (seemingly) random order.
Does anyone else have this problem?

I find that if I have my rolls sorted by Film roll and Ascending (by roll date) the keyword search results will have the rolls in the correct chronological order.
However if I change the sort order to Descending , the search order remains as Ascending by roll date.
If you create a Smart album for a keyword search then you can sort the photos by any criteria you'd like: Date, Keyword (redundant), Rating or Title and Ascending or Descending.
Do you Twango?

I just upgraded to iPhoto 11. My events are not sorted in date order even though I have chose it to under the view tab????

I cannot get my photos in date order in iPhoto 11 What can I do to remedie this?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Date order iPhoto albums

With the updated software, my iPhoto is very difficult to use from before. First, when I look at Albums, they are no longer in date order. It used to list the albums in date order and show the range of dates in each album. How can I resolve this please?

see the following support pages for PHOTO (They dropped the I)
Photo uses the creation date IPHOTO used the event setup.

Change iPhoto events in Aperture to date order, instead of ABC?

Hi
I like how Aperture 2.0 works with iPhoto imports better, listing events. However, it lists my iPhoto events in ABC order. I'd much prefer them to be listed in order by the date they were shot or whatever like in iPhoto. Anyway to do this?
Thanks so much!!!

If, like me, you used Events as your main organizational tool - you will really be disappointed in Photos.   My Albums transferred, but I had over 100,000 pictures, taken over 13 years and organized mostly by the "Event/Title" line above each group of pictures.   Those titles did not transfer to Photos.
They do have an Album titled iPhoto Events and a lot of events are in there - however, not all and they are in a completely random order.   In my case, over 3,000 events with absolutely no way to find anything other than scroll through or possibly search. Also, at this time there is no way to move forward with Event organization as it does not exist.   There is not way in Photos to label each days photos with an event or title.   It's like one big huge shoebox with date order the only organization. Ridiculous.
I mostly use a 35mm SLR Camera without any GPS designation - so I now have 109,000 photos in one big list organized by nothing but the date taken or scanned.
I have also scanned a lot of family history photos and old family photos - fortunately I put most of those in Albums - otherwise Photos is very excited to just list them according to the date I scanned them which has nothing to do with the content of the photo.
Definitely back up your iPhoto before you do anything.   I am looking for an outside program that will continue my organization and not throw everything out on the whim of people who just use photos for social media and sharing.   This change made me realize that Apple has no intention of creating and keeping a serious organization system for amateur and professional photographers who have a large number of files that need to be organized and kept for many years.

Why are my photos sorted alphabetical in iPhoto (which is what I want) but in date order on my iPhone & iPad?

One for the iPad or iPhone forums I would guess. There is no iPhoto for iOS

Photos. They are on my macBook, backed up on time machine. Copied them (hours and hours) to external hard drive. They are now in alphabetical order (19,000 of them) NOT IN THEIR EVENTS or date order-and have been taken with different cameras- help!!!!!!

Photos.
They are on my macBook, backed up on time machine. There are 19,000+ of them, some rescued from a pc crash- which I used the nifty iPhoto to put back into date order.
I want to take them all off my laptop, now............as I need to use it for WORK!!
Copied them (hours and hours) to another external hard drive.
They are now in alphabetical order (all 19,000+ of them) NOT IN THEIR EVENTS or date order. (-They have also been taken with different cameras over the years and some of the generic camera numbering remains.)
I have tried to copy them (only a few as an experiment) one event at a time, but that again "opens up" the Event "folder" and tips them out as individuals and therefore just lists image letters and numbers alphabetically.
How can I copy
the whole library still in "Events" to an external hard drive?
the folders/albums I have already made on to this hard drive?
and how can I add to this back up monthly, again keeping events and folders separate and updated?
Mac is so user friendly - there must be a way.........
Thanks

UPDATE : I have re-installed from disk, various apps that were no longer functioning such as iLife, iWork etc. So, I now can access my photos again.
Also, I had to re-install all the software for my printer ( Stylus Pro 4880 ) and reset it so the printer is working again.
Photoshop CS4 won't open. I think I will have to get in touch with Adobe as basically, I guess they have a built-in "blocker" which prevents me from opening the app as the license is for only 1 user and having re-installed the OS, there are now, in effect, 2 users ( Me and Me 1, I think ).
So, having added on a new external HD, Time Machine has made a copy of most of the files, folders, apps etc onto the external HD. The internal HD is still nearly full ( 220 GBs out of 232 GBs ).
I am guessing the way to go now in order to free up space on the internal HD is to delete/trash older photos from my iPhoto library and hope that if needed, I will be able to access them on the external HD.
Am I correct ? Please advise before I do something I will regret.
Thanks, Sean.

Apple TV (1st gen) photos in an Event not in date order

I have synced selected Events from iPhoto to my Apple TV 1st gen with iTunes 11.0.1
The events synced are "merged" events from 2 cameras on a month-by-month basis.
In iPhoto, I have the event sorted by date, but on the Apple TV, the photos are NOT in date order.
How can I get the Apple TV to reflect the choice I make in iPhoto ??

Thanks Winston

Dunning Letters- Invoice Date Order

Hi all,
When running Dunning the invoices are shown NOT in date order ie oldest invoice first in the list and then going through in date order to the latest at the bottom. Is it possible to have the oldest invoice at the top down and going down to the latest invoice at the bottom?
Thank you,
MB

Hi,
Yes you would think that but in fact the dates are all mixed up ie 11.09.10 then 11.08.10 then 08.11.10 etc
Strange but true!
Any ideas?

In IPhoto I changed movie dates after thumb nails were created in IMovie but the new dates are not showing up in IMovie. Is there someway to refresh the IPhoto event in IMovie?

Background: I'm transferring file folders from a Visa laptop via an external hard drive to my IMac. In the folders are photos and videos from different cameras. SO I first tried to import to IMovie but it would not recognize any of the files. So then I imported into IPhoto and both photos and videos were imported and I created events for each folder. When I first opened IMovie I had to wait for it to create "thumb nails". Then I could view the events in IMovie BUT the video clips are not together because they have vastly different dates and are mixed with videos from other events. I looked at the dates and said I can fix that in IPhoto which i did but those new dates are not showing up in IMovie. I think I need to somehow refresh the event data that Imovie is using but have not found how to do that in either IPhoto or IMovie.
I'm doing this on three events with about 100 photos and videos. But I have many 1000s more to do so need to know how to either fix this or delete these events, reimport, change the dates, then open again in IMovie. I'm sure that would work but I can't understand why changing the dates in IPhoto is not being reflected in IMovie.
Appreciate any tips or pointers.
OBTW this is my first question as a first time Apple owner.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

In IPhoto I have edited the order of my images. When I play the album on Apple TV the order reverts back to the time stamp. Any suggestions on how to get the images to play on my TV in the order I want?

Apple TV won't play back my album images from IPhoto in the edited order I want. The order seems to revert back to the time stamp for the photos. I have combined the photos from 3 different cameras and they had slightly different clock settings. I am working on an edited presentation of about 1500 Pics from travels in Turkey this summer and sometimes the order makes more sense if I move some of the images quite a ways. Is there any solution short of changing the time stamp on every single image?

Using the 'adjust date and time' setting is the best way to syncronise the photos from all your cameras. However as you say this merely puts them all in the correct order chronologically.
If there are photos that you feel would be best somewhere else in an album other than in date order, it may depend on how many as to which is the best option for you. If it's only a few you may wish to adjust the date/time on these few manually so they fit in with the rest where you want them.
If you have a lot of photos you want in a different order to the order by date, or you really don't care about what date/time is used and just want them in the order you want them in, then 'batch change' is the best option.
From the view menu, select 'sort photos - manually', drag the photos around until they are in the order you want, select all of them. Now select the batch change option and choose 'Date' from the 'set' options, type in a date and time for the first photo, it can be anything but it's probably a good idea to choose something close to the original date, then check the box 'Add'. You can keep the value set at 1 minute or enter any value you want, it may be more realistic to divide the length of your holiday by the number of photos you have to calculate a value, but it really isn't necessary. Clicking OK will adjust all the dates without affecting the title or description and the photos will now show on the Apple TV in that order.
Just to be sure iTunes is updated, you may want to go to the advanced menu/choose photos to share in iTunes and deselect the album, apply, reselect the album and apply again.

Is there a way to organise albums in date order

In iphoto I could just scroll down my events and come to a date. I have a multitude of albums exported from iphoto into photos, but they are in random orders and I wanted to dispay them in date order, without having to manually dragging the album into place. Is this possible??

No but see reply by léonie and her suggestion to make a suggestion to Apple as well
in the new app Photo, faces are in no particular order that i can see. can faces be re-ordered or sorted?

Data from 3 tables having latest dates

Hi,
Need some help with PL/SQL code, I need to write a code which will get data from 3 tables all with the latest date.
For a particular ACT_CODE the output of the SQL query should show data having the latest dates from 3 tables, if there is no
date in the table, it should show the remaining data (think left join will do the trick here)
Table Names:
Institution_UPDT aiu
ASQ_CONTACT ac
GR_AUTHORIZE gr
All 3 tables have ACT_Code as common
Column Names
INSTITUTION_UPDT aiu -- aiu.ACT_CODE,aiu.project_id as proj,aiu.UPDT_TYPE_ID, aiu.USER_ID, aiu.UPDT_DATE
ASQ_CONTACT ac -- ac.ACT_CODE as contact_code,ac.project_id,ac.first_name, ac.middle_initial,ac.last_
name,ac.title,ac.status,ac.status_date
GR_AUTHORIZE gr --gr.ACT_CODE as grad_code,gr.name, gr.title AS grad_title, gr.submit_date
The date column names are
ac.status_date,
aiu.UPDT_DATE and
gr.submit_date
Thank you everyone
appreciate your help

Hi, Jesh,
user11095252 wrote:
That is correct, I want to include all the columns from ASQ_Contacts, Institution_UPDT and GR_AUTHORIZEOh! You want all columns from all three tables, not just ASQ_Contacts. That changes the problem considerably!
UNION requires that all prongs have the same number of columns, and that the datatypes of the columns match. That's no problem if we just need act_code and a date from each one. If we just need additional columns from one table, it's easy to add literal NULLs to the other prongs to serve as the additional columns. But if we need all (or even several) columns from all three tables, that's no good. So let's revert to your original idea: outer joins.
I want to display only one row which has the latest date with the most recently updated time (example:mm/dd/yyyy hr:min:sec am/pm)Yes, but what if there is a tie for the most recently updated time?
In case of a tie, the query below will pick one of the contenders arbitrarily. That may be fine with you (e.g., you may have UNIQUE constraints, making ties impossible). If you need a tie-breaker, yiou can add more columns to the analytic ORDER BY clauses.
WITH     aiu     AS
     SELECT     institution_updt.*     -- or list columns wanted
     ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY act_code
                         ORDER BY        updt_date     DESC
                       ) AS r_num
FROM     institution_updt
WHERE     act_code     = :p1_act_code
AND     project_id     = :p2_project_id
,     ac     AS
     SELECT     asq_contact.*          -- or list columns wanted
     ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY act_code
                         ORDER BY        status_date     DESC
                       ) AS r_num
FROM     asq_contact
WHERE     act_code     = :p1_act_code
AND     project_id     = :p2_project_id
,     gr     AS
     SELECT     gr_authorize.*          -- or list columns wanted
     ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY act_code
                         ORDER BY        submit_date     DESC
                       ) AS r_num
FROM     gr_authorize
WHERE     act_code     = :p1_act_code
SELECT     *     -- or list columns wanted
FROM          aiu
FULL OUTER JOIN     ac     ON     ac.act_code     = aiu.act_code
               AND     ac.r_num     = 1
               AND     aiu.r_num     = 1
FULL OUTER JOIN     gr     ON     gr.act_code     = NVL (ac.act_code, aiu_act_code)
               AND     gr.r_num     = 1
;That's a lot of code, so there may be typos. If you'd post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for a few rows of sample data, I could test it.
In all places where I said "SELECT *" above, you may want to list the individual columns you want.
If you do that in the sub-queries, then you don't have to qualify the names with the table name: that's only required when saying "SELECT *" with another column (r_num, in this case).
It's more likely that you won't want to say "SELECT *" in the main query. The three r_num columns, while essential to the query, are completely useless to your readers, and you might prefer to have just one act_code column, since it will be the same for all tables that have it. But since it may be NULL in any of the tables, you'll have to SELECT it like this:
SELECT COALESCE ( aiu.act_code
                 , ac.act_code
                 , gr_act_code
                 ) AS act_codeThe query above will actually work for multiple act_codes. You can change the condidition to something like
WHERE   act_code IN (&act_code_list)If so, remember to change it in all three sub-queries.

Has anyone had a photo syncing problem sine the last iOS or iTunes update wher the sort order has been changed back to date order, when before the update you photos were synced in file name order??

Syncing from pc to iPhoto imbedded in iPad... I spent hundreds of hours naming jpeg files/pics, and they were ordered properly ((per my naming, like 0001 bla bla.jpeg, 0002 blah blah.jpeg, etc.... They were syncing perfectly in order, until last SW update... Now, still in right order on pc, but last sync scrambled them all back to date order on iPad after sync... Any ideas?

Thanks for your response. I thought there was something I wasn't doing right or something I was missing.
Aperture and Mobileme syncing is really "hit or miss", unpredictable. Especially after a manual arrangement of the order of photos within an album. And selection of the "key photo" is also hit or miss. Sometimes it sticks. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it sticks for a bit and then reverts back to the 1st photo of the album.
It's ironic that one of Apple's motto is "it just works"! In this case, it really doesn't work!

To find the latest date and time

HI all,
I have a Ztable which contains execution date and exe time.
1) I need to find the latest date and time How can we do this?
2) In my program,I need to insert some values to date,time and status field in Ztable. How can I insert it directly into the table?
for eg ZTAB-DATE = 010122006
        ZTAB-TIME = 12.20.20
      just INSERT ZTAB is enough or NOT????????????
POINTS WILL BE REWARDED
THANKS IN ADVANCE

1) You can do a number of things, one you can get all of the relevant records and sort the internal table by date and time in decending order, then simply read the first record of the internal table.
2) It depends on the key of the table. Say for example, you have a table like so.
MANDT
KEYFIELD
DATE
TIME
If the key alreays exists, you can use the modify statement to update the record, if it dosn't exists, you need to use the INSERT statement to insert the records.
data: xtab type ztable.
xtab-keyfield = 'ABC'.
xtab-date = '20070207'. " or sy-datum
xtab-time = '221600'.    " or sy-uzeit.
insert ztable from xtab.
Make sure to use internal fomat for DATE and TIME.
