Numerical order of photos in Elements 6

I want to transfer photos from My Pictures folder to named folders in Photoshop Elements 6 Organizer.
When I Get Photos, the Getting Photos dialog shows the photos in numerical order as they are transferred.
But when they are displayed in Organizer and moved to their named folder, they are no longer in numerical order and seem to be in order of when taken/modified etc.
I am not interested in this or Timelines. I just want the photos in their original order.
Is there any way of doing this?

>n answer to your concern, Barb, about the sequence after editing a photo from a digital camera, once the photo is edited/modified, it loses its original taken date.
I am still concerned about the loss of the original taken date. That does not happen for my digital camera photo files that are in the Organizer.
>now I just get a message saying that the files are not visible in Organizer. Why?
Maybe previously you were previously working with a folder for which you had imported the photo files to the Organizer and this time you chose a folder where the photo files had NOT been imported to the Organizer.
The folder structure shown on the left hand side of a Folder Location screen looks very similar to Windows Explorer - but it does not function the same. You can NOT use all of the folder structure that you see. When you look at the folder tree on the left side, any folder which contains at least one photo file that has been imported to the PSE Organizer has an icon superimposed on the folder image. (I am not sure how to describe this icon, so I suggest that you look at a folder where you did import photos to identify the appearance of the icon.)
The Organizer only displays photos that have been imported to it.
>The other thing I once saw but cannot repeat, is when I Show All in Thumbnails view, the photos were separated into folders as in the Albums. Now they are all muddled together. What did I inadvertently press?
First, a concept. Folders are a structure of the Windows Operating System. Albums in Photoshop Elements are not the same as folder: an Album is like a list of photo files where each photo is assigned a specific position in the sequence of photos.
The photo files that are in any specific album may or may be contained within the same Windows folders. If some photos in a Windows folder are in a specific PSE Album, other photos files in that folder may not be in that specific Album. Also, photo file abc.jpg which resides in Folder1 may be included in multiple PSE albums: yet there is still only one copy of that photo file abc.jpg.
There is also (in recent PSE versions) a concept of a Smart Album: in this case the customer identifies some characteristics of their photos and the program automatically creates an album of the photo files that have these characteristics. Note: smart albums will not be mentioned at the photofanatic web site because they were introduced after that web site was written.
So I can not immediately identify when the photos would be separated in to folders except when you are in the Folder Location layout of the screen.

Numerical Order for Photos

Hello,
I am trying to do one very simple thing.
Have the photos in the timeline appear in numberical order. After all, that is the order they were taken in, I want them in that order.
I can not find a way to do that other than by drag and drop which isn't an option. I have between 100-300 photos every time I start a new project and many projects to do per week.
Please tell me how to do this.
The general overview is : I have photos in Aperture and want to burn them in numerical order on to a dvd that can be played in a household dvd player.
I used to play with them in Photoshop, then import them to iPhoto, then share them with iDVD - that all worked well for me - but with trying to introduce Aperture and eliminate Photoshop everything has gone belly up.
I COULD play with them in Aperture and then import them into iPhoto - but when I do that - for some reason iPhoto renames the photos from say 1234 10x8 to 1234 (1) - which is hard for me to explain to my client. . .
I would be more than grateful for any guiding hands about now - am losing whole days on this.

I have no experience with Aperture. But if the Aperture names are okay, the Import command in both iMovie and iDVD should deliver images the way you want.
Dragging photos from a Finder window randomizes the order, but the File > Import command works as you want.
To import more than one photo, hold down the Shift key or Command key to select the photos, then hit Open.

Preserving numerical order of imported photos

I am working on a project consisting of still photographs imported into FCP. the photos are in .psd format, and are named/numbered sequentially, such as this:
DSCN0001, DSCN0002...etc.
sometimes the numbers might not begin at 0001, but they are always in ascending numerical order.
I have discovered that sometimes their order, after placed into the time line is out of numerical sequence, which is a problem bcs thousands of photos will be involved in this beast. tweezing thousands of images into correct order would be...not good..
Is there a non-manual way for me to correct the photos' order after they've been place and/or ensure they they remain in correct numerical order even before I do the importing?
thank you!

If you sort them by name in the Browser, they should go in the order that they appear there. but numbers are tricky sometimes. If they absolutely ascend I think it should work OK.
You can also view by icons, and place them in order. left to right, then next row down - left to right etc.

Latest iphone sofware update fails to synch photos in numerical order!

I've been informed that the reason why my photos on my 3g Iphone will no longer synch to it in numerical 'name' order is because the latest software update places them in 'date taken' order by default, consequently moving them out of my preferred option.
I've been told I will need to use a third party software in order to place my photos back in numerical order. Does anyone know of a way round this, and if not, can anyone recommend suitable, preferably free software to acheive this?
Many thanks.

How to save. photos in numerical order?

I want to take photos every day and need to store them in albums. I want the albums to have a numerical I.d. such as
scene1. scene2. and so on. however, the albums do not into the numerical order, but rather stay in position of the last
album to be added, the scenes do not take place in numerical order....so today might be scene 12, 8, 54 and tomorrow
might be scene 108, 33' 16. and so on.   I therefore do not want to store the albums in day taken order, but in
numerical order.
thanks

sorry, but this does not solve the problem. thanks for answer though. I know I need to add an album, this is not a problem, but the album does. it stay in numerical order, it stays I think in date shot order, which is not
what I what. let's say you make an album today which is called. scene18.   tomorrow you make an album
called scene9.
on screen the album will appear as scene 18 with album scene 9 to the right of it. therefore   this is not
being shown in numerical order.

Merge and Combine PDF files in a numerical order

Greetings!
I'm using Adobe Acrobat to create a photo LookBook or an eBook. I'm importing and merging straight from .JPEG's and Acrobat work's great. The JPEG's are sorted by capture date, renamed and numbered as such: "10_File.Name.jpg". However, once I attempt to merge over 100 files I noticed that the numerical order of the file names is wrong. You'll notice in the example below that when viewed by name, the three digit numbers begin after 10. Well, in this example it's twelve. This affects to page order of the combined .PDF file. How can I maintain consistent name order to avoid assembling the finished ebook by implementing two workflow steps. Meaning the first step to combine the double digit numbers, then the second step to combine the three digit numbers. What can I do to resolve this issue?
Greatly appreciated!

Try it with a leading zero ( 003_, 007_, 008_, 010_, 011_, and 012_ ).
Be well...

How can I save the order of photos in albums? Even though I have set as album order they revert back

How can I save the order of photos in albums in Elements 11? Even though I have set as album order they revert back to original order.

Could you confirm that when you re-open the sorted album, the display order on the top bar just over the browsing space is still in 'album' order ? That order may have been changed to a date order. For me, I get the order of the last album I opened, not necessarily the 'album' order of the present album.

Customizing order of photos in web gallery & slideshow

I know this was requested during the beta but.....
Is there a way to customize the order that photos appear in a web gallery or slide show? By default Lightroom 1.0 displays them in the order they were imported. I want to move them around but can't find a way to do so.

Do a collection of images to use in either. You can drag and drop the order in a collection. Drag from the middle of a thumbnail. The module will remember presets associated with a Collection as apposed to a group sellection.
This is very, very old info listed in numerous threads.

Sort order in Photo Browser

The sort order of photos appearing in Photo Browser while in Mail has been, until recently, showing the most recent photos first.
Today, it started showing the oldest photos first.
Any ideas about what I did to change the order, and how I can reverse the current sort order to return to the prior state?
I'd like to have the newest photos appear first, as they have for some time.

Many thanks for help!

Thanks Steven,
Ok I was only half wrong so they are in alphabetical order, but not numerical order. In the Mac finder window in list or icon view it sorts automatically in alphabetical and numerical. Question 1: Is there no way to change the sorting order in Premiere?
I'm still living with a few projects that were shot on tape and where the previous video editor auto numbered digitized clips. Question 2: I'm not going to redigitize this project in Premiere, but for another tape based project would I be able to set up this numbering scheme you mention?
The mac finder sorts them correctly due to an update they did to the OS a long time ago that means it recognizes 10 as coming after 9 rather than needing to put 09 for it to work. Most systems don't work that way.
You could always download a simple batch renaming app, I think there's a few around, and just rename them with zeros in front. Would probably take you about ten minutes tops, including downloading the app.
As for sorting them within Premiere, in list mode you just click the header of the column you want to sort by. But if you're sorting by name it will display them in the order they're currently in, because that is technically correct.

Ordering a photo book in Elements11

How do you order a photo book that has been created and saved? Only prints are offered as a selection. Do I have to export the images to iPhoto to get this done or is it still possible to order it with Shutterfly via Elements. Frustrating!

I hit start - it starts to upload files..gets to 99% after a very long period of time then goes back to the album name and recipient page. please help

Creating slideshow - importing images in numerical order

I am creating my first slideshow in iDVD '06. I want the images to appear in numerical order as they do in their original folder. When I drag multiple images over from a folder, they appear in random order. Is it possible to maintain the numerical order?
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Mandy - if you want a quick slideshow, why not do it in iPhoto where you can quickly arrange the photos how you want? You can then Share/Export to Quicktime and bring it in to iDVD (my preference) or use the iDVD option within iPhoto to transfer the slideshow.

How do I send edited photos from Elements 12 to Costco for printing?

New user and have checked all trainng info.... How do I send edited photos from Elements 12 to Costco for printing? Only Shutterfly is offered as option. Or how can I export to "my pictures" or thumb drive?

If you don't have the special costco edition (in which case you should see costco as an option for ordering prints), if the photos are in the organizer, use File>Export as New File(s) to send them to your thumb drive, if that's what you want to do, or export them to a folder on your desktop, go to the costco website and point their software to that folder for uploading. If you don't use organizer, just save the files to a folder on your desktop and do the same.

How to upload from iphoto to icloud in title order using photo share (not photo stream)?

I can get the albums within iphoto (V9.6) into title order, however when they are uploaded to icloud (photo share, not photo stream) they lose that order. Can the photo shared images on the icloud web link be uploaded/or organised into the order that I have painstakingly created?

December 2014 Case Resolved by midnorthcoast
I found Old Toad's remedy presented by Tedious Tom here Keeping desired order of photos when sharing on iCloud
After labelling (titling) each of the 300 or so images carefully in numerical order I wanted to be sure that that's how they would be viewed once uploaded from iPhoto to Photo Share (not Photo Stream). Note that I didn't want the ensuing iCloud weblink to be automatically emailed to others. I wanted to email the link personally. I find the automatic invitation's presentation confusing in regard to having to register to view the images or simply clicking the less obvious link. Plus I wanted the invitation to be more personal.
Here's how I did it:
Transferred images from Finder to their own album within iPhoto
With the album open, made sure images were in title order, View/Sort Photos/By Title
Selected all images
Followed Old Toad's advice (except I changed from 1 minute to 1 second), Photos/Batch Change/Set Date/Add 1 second between each photo
Shared with iCloud, Share/iCloud
Dialogue box comes up, Clicked on New photo stream
Another dialogue box, filled in one of my email addresses (not my iCloud identity), unticked Subscribers Can Post, ticked Public Website, clicked Share
Opened iCloud within iPhoto and waited until finished uploading
Highlighted the album, clicked Info, copied the weblink shown under Public Website and pasted into personal email invitations

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.
