Organizing clips in alphabetic order

i've got a project with more then 100 clip. fce 4 organize them in alphabetic order, but after 10 it says it comes 100 an then 101, 102...till 109 and then 11, 11, 110, 111...119, 12...
is there any way to tell final cut that after the 10 comes the 11 and then the 12 and so on? this error is so old school... =P
cheers!

I thought StudioX provided a reasonable solution here. Just use the Automator to renumber or add leading zero's to all the files prior to importing into FCE, just an extra step in the workflow.
Automator Flow - Example
Ask for Finder Items, allow multiple selection
Copy Finder Items, to a different folder to the originals
Rename Finder Items, make sequential, make all number x digits long.
Now if Apple would included FCE functions within the Automator and the workflow could be more automated
My $1.50 worth...

Renaming imported videos, reorganizes them in alphabetical order. How do i change this?

Here is my problem. I imported a bunch of video clips from a wedding, to create a montage and ceremony dvd. I renamed all the footage so i knew what it was, and framing and such.. After i renamed it, it reorganized my video clips in alphabetical order.. Its mixing up hundreds of video clips into random order.. I cant edit like this. How can i make the order of the clips as it was originally shot and imported?

Do a sort on the name column in the Bin
or
do a sort on the timecode column

My iPod Classic is no longer displaying my songs in alphabetical order. How do I get it to organize the songs again?

There is some kind of organization that it's using, but I don't know what that organization is. It displays like fifty songs in alphabetical order (not songs by the same artist or on the same album or anything) but then when it gets to Z, the next fifty songs are shown organized in alphabetical order starting with A again. So it looks kind of like this on my iPod songs list: (using foods instead of songs)
Apple
Banana
Carrot
Donut
Eggplant
Fruit salad
Granola
Hot dog
Ice cream
Jerky
Lemon
Meatloaf
Nutella
Orange
Pear
Raisin
S'mores
Vegemite
Watermelon
Yogurt
Angel food cake
Bread
Coconut
Gravy
Lime
Oatmeal
Peach
Red velvet cake
Sausage
Turkey
Vegetables
Avocado
Bacon
etc.
It's gotten very annoying, because it's incredibly difficult to find songs with no known organization. I tried looking through the "Settings" menu but there was nothing I could find that would help me take care of this.

I got it to reorganize alphabetically by resetting the iPod, but then when I synced it again, it went back to the way it was before, and resetting it didn't work. I tried resetting it while it was still plugged into the computer and that worked. So for now, the problem is solved. I'm just gonna post this so that if anyone else needs the solution to this, they can find this somewhat unreliable one, because I've been looking at other questions on this site and apparently nobody that asked a question about this has ever found a solution, so... yeah. If anyone knows a more permanent solution to this problem, though, please, please please let me know!!

Alphabetical order of itunes

Alphabetical order typically is organized numbers first, followed by A-Z. itunes organizes this way in all situations except when a number begins the name of an artist. How can I organize my artists alphabetically so that artists beginning with a number will come first then artists A-Z?
For example: alphabetically the artist "311" should come before the artist "Abandones Pools" and I would like it to be this way. Right now, "311" shows up after the artist "Zero 7". However, the artist "M83" shows up before the artist "Mae". I want the number to come first alphabetically in all situations. How do I do that?

"+Alphabetical order typically is organized numbers first, followed by A-Z+"
There is no 'typical'. Different computer systems use differing character-sets that have letters first or numbers first. This can based on their ASCII numerical value or a customized sort program within the software.
I do not believe that you can change the way iTunes internally sorts the data.
You can, however, manage the 'Sort Artist' &/or 'Sort Album' fields for any song file (or group of files). You may have to be creative to get the numbers 'floating' to the top of the sort. i.e. - Putting a leading character such as a '.' in front of the numeric Artist or Album. Figure it out for yourself if it is truly important to you.
Best of Luck

Won't sort in alphabetic order. Listed by type.

The music on my iPod and iPhone does not go in order. They are in alphabetic order in mp3 formate then start over at A again for the AAC types. Is there a setting I clicked in iTunes that I don't know about? I have all my "singles" organized by genre. I created genres like "single pop" and "single rock" so that I could reduce the amount of albums in the real genes that have albums. So in the "single pop" genre list my older imported MP3's start at a and go to Z then the newer purchaced AAC's start at A and go to Z.

Try setting them order by track in iTunes, and then re-sycning the Touch.
That' usually does it for me.
ALSO, make sure that shuffle is OFF.
Hit the album once while it's playing to get the scrubber on the screen.
To the left and right are two icons - one for shuffle, and one for repeat.
If they're white, they're off.
If they're blue, they're active and likely contributing to this issue...

Syncing events in alphabetic order on my I pad as I have on my Mac

I have organized my events in I photo in alphabetic order and have synced several times to my I pad but yet the event order on my I pad still does not match that of my Mac... (Is there a way to organize the events in alphabetic order on my I pad??)

I don't have iPhoto on my iPad, so I can't help with that, but you must have looked at advice for a Mac computer? Maybe browse the iPhoto for iOS forum?

Playlists MUST be in alphabetical order?

I want to arrange my classical music playlists in order of the time composers were active. For example, I want Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms in that order. But playlists by default give me Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart in alphabetical order. I tried moving them like maiboxes in Apple Mail or icons in Finder or the Dock. This does work for concertos WITHIN the Mozart folder, but not for the Mozart playlist itself. I tried holding down command, option, control & shift. Nothing does it. For independent playlists, renaming them 1.Mozart, 2.Beethoven and 3.Brahms achieves the objective. But sub-folders under Apple's default "Classical Music" folder can't be renamed. iTunes Help has no entry about this. Is there a way to rearrange playlists? Advice much appreciated.

Here is something you can do. It is a bit time consuming and I don't recommend it, unless you are very anal about the way you want your playlist shown. I don't really recommend it because it can mess up your library if you have it neatly organized--but at this point I don't see another alternative.
First add all the tracks that you want on a playlist. Make sure you have added all you want before moving to the next step. Select them all, go to File --> Get info, and change the Album name for all the tracks. (eg "Josh's Classical Collection").
Once you have done this, you will change the track number for each track. This might be painfully slow according to the amount of tracks you have. Once you have done this, simply view your playlist as if it was one album and the tracks will be organized according to the track number you provided.
Hope this helps with your problem.

*** iOS4 Update: Photo Albums No Longer Alphabetical Order ***

Hey all, I have a 3GS and just did the 4.0 update today. Everything works fine, no errors, etc........but when I go into my Photo Albums...
...and for example; Click "My Vacation". The photo album opens up at the bottom, so I have to scroll upwards to see the photos, where-as before you always started at the top of the album and scrolled down to see all your photos.
Not only that, they are completely out of alphabetical order. I've went into the folder itself on my computer and made sure it was organized.
My friends phone did the same thing on an entirely seperate computer. Any ideas how to get it alphabetical again?

This is a MAJOR problem for me. Several of my photo albums are actually screen shots of Hebrew texts for prayers. Until now, the photos displayed in filename order, so that the screens shots of text were in the proper order. Now they do not!
I use a PC, and I am not going to buy a Mac just to have the power to re-order my photos within an album! That's ridiculous to require that!
This has only been an issue since the ios4 update, and Apple needs to fix it!

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.

Index keywords not getting displayed in alphabetical order

Greetings to one and all!!1
Why the keywords defined in my index folder, is not getting
displayed in alphabetical order..what option am i missing to set??
can anyone help me to achieve this!!!
Thankx

Hi all
In addition to what Colum offered, if you choose to keep a
non-binary index (those are my particular preference) you may
right-click the index and sort the terms. (Inside RoboHelp, not in

When I import an album into ITunes...it puts the song list in alphabetical order. How do I get it to import the album order?

Any suggestions on how I can import an album without the songs going to alphabetical order? The last few times I have imported....I cannot get the play list to come up in the album order.

Hi there,

Never had a problem for years untill now.
Any other things this could be?
Thanks

I have downloaded Maverick 10.9 and installed , now my mailboxes in mail are randomly arranged as opossed to being in alphebetical order from A at the top to Z at the bottom how do you rearrenge the mailboxes in an alphbetical order.
Sync with my provider Gmail does not rearrange them on my Imac

Thanks for that .
My actual problem I may not have made very clear - sorry.
i.e.
[email protected]
AA insurance
Xero
apple
building
insurance
etc.
Shows the way the mailboxes are listed in the mail program under any particular provider, in my case I have three mail provider accounts with mail moved from the inbox to the appropraite mailbox eg [email protected] , Xero - where the incomeing mail is filed.
My problem is to arrange these mailboxes/folders in an alphabetical order under the [email protected] account

All my folders display in finder in alphabetical order a to z. However when I add a file as an attachment to an email the window that opens for me to select the folder from now displays them in alphabetical order from z to a. How can I alter it? Thank you

All my folders in finder show as in alphabetical order a to z. However, when I access them because I want to attach one to an email they display as z to a. How can I change this? it's been annoying me for ages. Many thanks.

When you add an attachment and you open a window to locate it, click on the little arrow I've indicated on the image and it should re-organise them as you want:

I created four (4) similar two (2) page file tables as an inventory of the contents of four (4) file crates full of LP vinyl record albums. How can these four (4) files be merged into a single file, then arranged in alphabetical order (by artist)?

I am using "pages" version 5.5 (2109) as updated in its newest version after installing Yosemite OS X 10.10 on my 21.5 inch Mac desktop computer. When I printing the second file as a two sided document on a single sheet of paper, it only printed the first side. I looked at the copy of the file on my screen, and saw that the second page was also blank on my screen. I opened the original locked version of the 68 row, 4 column table, and found that both pages, 34 rows on each page, were intact, but when I saved it again, locked it, and reopened a duplicate copy, the second page again was not there. I ended up printing a copy of the original file, but I am nit able to save more than one page of the two page original. I would like to do this so I can edit the list without altering the original. I would eventually like to merge all four tables into one document, than arrange the entire merged file in alphabetical order. I would like to do this and have not been able to. This was the original question I had before I lost the second page of the second file table.

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

How do I get my drop down lists in alphabetical order?

Got a new computer and installed Firefox 3.6.10. I moved over my bookmarks, etc. from the old computer. However, all of my drop-down lists are not in alphabetical order any more. And if I use one of the entries, it will sometimes move to a different order than it had been when I clicked on it. How do I get them back in alphabetical order?

The entries for form field are in current Firefox version is the order that you add them and not ordered alphabetically.<br />
Maybe an extension like Autofill Forms can sort them.
I'm not using it, so you need to check that yourself.
