List View order

What dictates the order of list view items after the chosen one?
I use labels (colors) for the primary list view order, the secondary order appear to be reverse alphabetical.
I want the secondary order to be normal alphabetical.
Can I set his somehow?

HI,
In the Finder window in List view at the top you will see: Name / Modified / Size etc...
Click Name. You can toggle back and forth.

Smart Folder list view order

Is there any way, after creating a smart folder, to make the list go from newest to oldest? All the contents are listed in random order.
PowerMac G4 (10.3.9) 2 GB ram • PowerBook G4 (10.4) 1GB ram Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Thanks guys.
It didn't even dawn on me to change it to list view using com/2 (as it appeared like it was in list view when clicking on the column/icon view in the upper right corner of the Finder window). Now I understand that that is not the "official" list view.
Thanks again.

ADDRESS BOOK: Contacts listing/viewing order

ever since i synched my iphone my contacts on my iMac list correctly by last name. but now, some contacts are Last, First, and others are First, Last.
anyone else experience this?
i would prefer all to be First, Last.

Try selecting all of your contacts, then open Address Book's card menu. I don't have Tiger in front of me at the moment, but I think the menu item you need is called Reset First/Last Name to Default.
There's an application-wide preference in the general pref pane for the name display order. And there's a per-card setting for this as well, which would override the application-wide preference. The menu items in the Card menu can change this setting on a per-card basis.

How do you change the sort order of a Stack on the Dock in List view?

I want to change the 'Date Added' sort in the list view mode of a stack from descending to ascending.
I have the Downloads stack sorted by 'Date Added', however I would like to reverse the order of this sorting. When I open the stack, it shows the oldest files at the bottom and newest files at the top. Since there are many hundreds of files, the newest files are actually hidden and I must scroll up to access them. When I access this folder I want to see the most recent files first, at the bottom of the list nearest the stack icon, not the files I downloaded years ago.
I prefer to use the traditional List view for Stacks because it is faster (no animations or loading preview icons) and easier to navigate visually. Please do not suggest a different view mode such as fan view or use-new-list-stack.

Have you tried changing the list with the numbers? (See the screen shot)

I have two albums (RCA Sweeny Todd 2 discs set and RCA Into the Woods 1 disc) where the songs are listed as being on the same album on the list view, but do not group together on the iPod, so the songs can't play consecutively, or in the proper order.

I have two albums (RCA Sweeny Todd 2 discs set and RCA Into the Woods 1 disc) where the songs are listed as being on the same album on the list view, but do not group together on the iPod, so the songs can't play consecutively, or in the proper order. The "Apply Sort Field" and "Same album does not work, but ti is only these two RCA albums that do this. All other albums remain intact. Need help with this minor problem. Thanks.

UPDATE: This behavior (to an extent) still happens when "Repeat Album" is off. Instead of an infinite loop, it goes through all the tracks on the album (unsuccessfully) and kicks me out to the Album overview screen. Going back to list of Albums and tapping the Album again brings up "No Content: You can download music from the iTunes Store" but that screen immediately kicks me back to list of Albums.
So I am just even more confused now.

Order of all day events • printing list view without empty days

I have only just started to use iCal in a work context. I need to programme over 500 events in several different locations (probably up to 10 locations on one day). I have divided these locations into five regions, and have made a calendar for each region.
Times are not important - just the dates, so I have been entering these events as all day events. What I would like to be able to do is ensure that in the month view (and particularly the print out) that the events I put in are always ordered in the same order that I have set up the calendars in the sidebar (I would also like more than 4 events displayed per day in the month view, but that's another matter!). I have been looking on these discussion boards and elsewhere on the internet and this appears to be a feature that many users would like implemented.
I would also then like to be able to print out separate list views for each region (calendar), but missing out the empty days. This also seems to be a feature that is wished for by many users, and has been requested for some time.
Any news on whether such changes will be made? Come on Apple, I mostly love your hardware and software, but there are quite a few of these little functionality issues scattered around the place.

In short, no - there is nothing you can do to determine the the display order of a series of all-day events in iCal. While the appear to generally be listed either in the order in which they were created or in the order in which your calendars appear in the left sidebar, even this is not always the case.

How to put clips in order by number in List View? Opened Premier and they were reversed!

I imported a lot of clips in numeric order from lowest to highest. Today when I opened Premier the order was reversed in the list view from Highest to lowest number. I dont know why. I did not change anything. It did this to all my other bins also!!
When I look at the clips in icon view they are in proper order!!!
So now when I try to put on timeline it places my last clip first. Is there an easy way to reverse the order in List View to the way I originally imported them? I don't want to have to re import all the clips.
Thanks !!

They are in order in windows. For some reason they are backwards when I opened Premier. They were in order originally.
I saw this:
http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/customizing-project-panel.html#id_29219
But I still cant figure out how to sort. Am I missing something?
"To sort items in List view, click the column heading by which you want to sort the items. If bins are expanded, items sort from the top level and down the Project panel hierarchy. To reverse the sort order, click the column heading again."
Not sure what they mean? Is the column heading they are talking about in Premier? Do they mean the bins? This should be easy, But I am not finding it!

List view component not being ordered

I am using the list view component to represent my table data. for creating a new row, i use a popup which has a separate taskflow in which i create a new row. Now i need to refresh the list view component after this new row is created. I am doing that using contextual events. I just re execute the query of the vo based on which the list view component is made. But in order to get the in memory rows, i set the view objects query mode to scan view rows as well as entity based rows. This however makes the vo query's order by clause to not work. I am not sure why but the list view data is no longer ordered.
Also if anyone has any idea how to refresh the entire list view component, that is load data again, it would be of great help.
Thanks in advance,
Jithesh

Hey,
I'm new at this so i'm going to try to help (although it problably won't work or do what you want).
You said you want to refresh the entire list view component, well, normally i have my views/data controls connected to a binding variable in my bean class and if i want to update something (lets say a selection) i use this code:
AdfFacesContext adfFacesContext = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
adfFacesContext.addPartialTarget(dimFactSales);
dimFactSales = variable binded to one of my views.
Hope that helps,
Frederico.

Sort order when using "Album by Artist/Year" album list view

In iTunes 10, I seem to have lost the sorting I've been using for the past 5 years at least. I use the "Album List" view, and have the album artwork showing to the left of the songs. I see the new "Album by Artist/Year" sort option in the album artwork column, and that is how I would like it to sort. However, now the album are arranged by artist, and within the artist by the year they were released as tagged in the info for each song. I want the newest albums at the top, and I cannot figure out how to make it sort that way. What do I need to do? Basically I want it in descending order by release date, but still sorted by album.

It appears they are, although I refuse to believe this is the accepted behaviour - has no one else complained about this?
It could simply be a weakness is the way this was all designed. If you look at the information Gracenote uses, it's not unusual for all tracks on a 60's compilation album to be incorrectly listed as the same year, often the year the compilation was released. The same thing tends to happen with re-issued albums. That's down to whoever inputs the information into Gracenote for that album, often a bored record company employee.
First of all, you could try changing the year for each documentary to the year the album was produced and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, then you have to decide how to handle it.
Accept it as it is.
Change the year for the documentary to the same year as the album and simply kid yourself that it's the correct year. (I'm not being flippant, but if the documentary is all footage from album release year, then "technically", the doumentary is from that 60's year.)
Leave the year of the documentary track blank, but put the year (2010) into the track's "Comments" field instead.
Propose a workable solution to Apple via Apple Feedback. (I am being a bit flippant now. Sorry, but you'll be in for a long wait before anything might change.)
Get Gracenote to change their text fields, get the people who input the information into Gracenote to do so correctly and then get Apple to change iTunes to recognise those changes. (Now I am being very flippant. Good luck with this one!) Oh! And hope Apple never decide to change from Gracenote to someone else!
Number 2 or 3 are probably your best bet.

One File Out of Order in List View

Okay, this is driving me insane - it's probably something simple that I'm overlooking, but I just can't figure it out. I imported a 17 disc audio book to put on my mother's iPod for her, and for some reason one of the book's subfolders w/i the iTunes music folder is out of order when sorted by file name in list view in the Finder, as can be seen here:
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-9/54100/FileListPic.jpg
When first imported, the default names of all the files began with "Don_T", except the problem one (Disc 14), which formatted itself more correctly as "Don't". Thinking that this might be causing the "disorder", I changed all the rest to "Don't" as well, but no dice - Disc 14 refused to move from b/w Discs 6 and 7. I couldn't see any extraneous spaces or strange characters, but to make sure I copied all but the number from the file name of another disc in the set and pasted it into 14's name, but still no change. I even tried fixing my permissions and restarting, just in case, but that didn't help either.
I'm sure this weirdness won't make a difference when loading the audio book onto the iPod, but it's making me nuts that I can't figure out how to get the stupid thing to move!
Any help to prevent my imminent cranial explosion would be much appreciated!
(Possibly) Relevant Info: G4 iMac running 10.3.9, iTunes library lives on an external FW drive, all discs imported w/ iTunes 6.0.2 as 128kbps MP3s
G4 iMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Rename the file without using copy/paste.....using the keyboard only.

How do I get the reminders, in list view, to display in date order?

How do I get the reminders, in list view, to display in date order? I can't seem to get them to display in date order on either my ipad or iphone.
Yes i know I can look at date view, but i don't like that view. I excepted the list view to display all reminders in date order.
Thanks!

You need to create a stringwriter, wrap it in a printwriter, then print to the printwriter, then convert the stringwriter to a string.
Here's an example:
StringWriter sw = new java.io.StringWriter();
PrintWriter pw = new java.io.PrintWriter(sw);
e.printStackTrace(pw);
String strError = sw.toString();
I hope this works. I didn't test the above code. I don't think I'm leaving anything out, but it's been a while since I've done it. Either way, it should get you on the right track to get what you need.
Hope that helps.

Change view order of characteristics in list and details view

Hello everybody
I made some changes in the view order of most standard and own characteristics. Unfortunately the characteristic position changes I made are only partly applied!
Example:
Position   Characteristic              real pos. in list view
1          /CCM/PRODUCT_ID             2
2          /CCM/SHORT_DESCRIPTION      1
3          /CCM/ORDER_UNIT             3
4          ZZUMREF_AUSME_MEINS         8
5          /CCM/BASE_UOM               4
6          /CCM/PRICE                  6
7          /CCM/PRICE_BASIS_QUANTITY   7
8          ZZNFMAT_KZ                  not shown!
9          ZZNON_AML_AM                5
10         ZZLIM                       not shown!
Why characteristics are not shown as a column in the list view is clear to me. This is the case when no catalog items have a value in those characteristics.
Did anyone else out there observe similar behaviour and hopefully knows the solution to it?
Kind regards,
Renaud

Just for the records...
The system obeys to a changed character view order of own defined characteristics only if your own defined characteristics are not specified on catalog but on schema level!
We had specified our own defined characteristics on both levels at the same time... this disturbed the system and was the reason for the disorder in list and details view.
After correcting it all is fine again.
Hope this helps someone in future.
Kind regards,
Renaud

Sort/order contexts in universe List View Mode

Is there a way to sort or order contexts in universe List View Mode?
Thanks

Hi,
There is no way to order the contexts in universe list view mode.
If you want to have a specific order I suggest that you prefix all contexts by a number such as "1 - context name1", "2 - context name2", etc.

Finder files always in reverse alphabetical order in List View

Hi all,
Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard, I've experienced an intermittent quirk with Finder. I generally keep most files in folders by alphabetical order. But in my Applications folder, Finder is stuck on keeping them in reverse alphabetical order, which is annoying. I've never had this issue in previous releases of OS X becuase there was always the small triangle to invert order, but this triangle doesn't appear in my Applications folder. Only my Applications folder has a weird white bar with Name, Size, etc, as opposed to the gray one that appears in every other folder in the OS.
I have tried to remedy this via the following:
Changing from List View to other views--this puts them in normal alpha order, but I like apps in List View so I can see many of them at a glance
Sorting by other categories (file size, etc.) and then switching back
Clicking on the name bar with every possible combination of buttons (Fn + click, Ctrl + click, etc.)
All to no avail. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? It only happens with the Applications folder, and only in List View.
Thanks!

I also have this problem, and the work around works for me, but...
This has got to be a bug, right? There is nothing, anywhere that I can see, that controls whether it is alpha ascending or alpha descending. The "fix", such as it is, is to ignore the Arrange By menu and use the column headers to select the sort order.
In fact, to bulletproof it (because I will forget eventually) the best solution would be to remove the "arrange" menu altogether because it does not do anything that sorting by column headers does not do. In fact, it does less. In even more fact, it does worse than less.
Apple is keenly persuing minimalism. So why does the arrange menu exist? And if it does exist, why did no-one test that it works rationally?
The corollary of all this is that the Arrange By menu does the same thing as clicking the menu headers, but when you use it, it disables them.
I have been banging my head on my desk since I bought my new machine with Mt Lion on it about the wretched headers not setting the sort order and it is because some - numbskull is not the _only_ word that comes to mind - has decided one selection mechanism for the sort function should disable the other. ¿Eh?

Calendar List View Sort Order

If I have two appointments set to the same time and length on the calendar, the sort order on the "month" view is sorted based on the title (this is great and what I am looking for). If I go to the "day" view or the "list" view the sort order appears to be random. I have tried to figure out what the sort order is for the list view and the day view but no luck.
I am using a second calendar in Outlook for tasks and setting all items to the same time and length. I can then create a task list that syncs to the iphone. Just can't get the sorting figured out.

Hi,
I have the same issue since one week ago (iPhone 3GS, iOS 4.0.2).
Only 2 calendars on my Exchange mailbox are synced. Items show correctly on the day and month view, but in list view (which I use most), some of them appear under a wrong date. Annoying !
After restart and/or remove/add of calendars, list view takes a long time to 'load'. switching to day view and the back to list makes it appear (but unfortunately with the same problem).
Greetz,
Philip
