Organizing Photos within an Album - PSE8

Once I've put a bunch of photos into an album, is there an easy way to sort them without moving the photos one-by-one?  For instance, suppose I want to organize them by date?  I've just got to think there's an easy and automated way to do that, but if there is, somehow I'm missing it.
Help, please.

when you select any album , there will be a drop down present along with the Organize/Share/Create/Edit tab - "Album Order" - select that , there will Date (oldest/newest first).
hope that helps !

  • Organizing photos in an album

    I know this must be very simple. I'm using iPhoto '08 and just want to move photos around within one of my event of photo folders. I have done this in the past by just clicking and dragging the photo to where I want to place it....but this is not working. Please advise.

    1 - you posted an iPhoto '08 question in the iPhoto 6 forum - I will request that the thread be moved to the correct forums
    2 - iPhoto '08 has events, albums and folders - all are different - and using the correct terminology is critical:
    -- Events are basic and you can not rearrange photos in events
    -- albums are used to organize photos and you can change the order by dragging photos within the album
    -- folders are also organization elements and hold albums or other folders
    You are mixing them all up - I suspect that you want to create an album and then reorder the photos in that album

  • In iPhoto, how do you manually move the order of a photo within an album?

    Within an Album? Drag and drop.
    You can't do this in an Event.

  • Rearranging photos within an album

    Hi,
    I wanted to know if it is possible to rearrange the order of the photos within an album on an ipad or iphone?
    Regards
    Adam.

    Cheers Ralph will check it out.
    I have just found a bit of a resolution by creating a new album, and adding the photos i want in there one at a time in order that i would like them in.
    I think holding the photo until it wiggles and moving it would be a good feature to arranging the order of photos in a similar way you arrange orders of apps on the homescreen.
    Thanks for your help

  • Rearranging photos within an album PSE13

    I need advice  on how to  re-sequence photos within an album. I'm using PSE 13.  Drag and drop doesn't work.  I also tried: right click on an album >edit album. This allows me to rearrange the photos in the right screen panel but the changes do not seem to be incorporated into the album itself after I check-off "OK".  Any help is appreciated.
    THX,
    Vinny

    Please select the album.
    Now Choose Album Order in Sort By options.
    You should be able to rearrange the photos in that album.
    Thanks,

  • PSE 12 captions and numbering of photos within an album

    On PSE12, can I make the caption I have given a photo to appear on thumbnail within an album?
    Is it possible to not have the # of the photo within the album to appear in the upper left corner of the thumbnail?

    No, the caption can't appear in the browsing space, but if you are using the full screen option (F11) the caption is shown.
    Is it possible to not have the # of the photo within the album to appear in the upper left corner of the thumbnail?
    The order of the photo is only visible if you are in 'album order'. In the other sorts (filename, chronological, batch import) it is not shown.

  • Organizing photos within albums alphabetically or numerically

    My photos are organized on my computer alphabetically or numerically, but when they sync to my iPad they become jumbled inside the albums.  How can I get them back in order?

    On iOS 5+ they are sorted by the 'date modified' field - so you either need to manipulate their date modified fields, or you could consider using a third-party photo management app such as Photo Manager Pro which allows you to sort your photos within it by filename or date (ascending or descending), type, or you can drag them into your own sort order

  • What is the easiest way to sort photos within an album.  I have photos from a trip but they are all mixed up.  Photos from one part of the trip are showing up in other parts.  Please help.

    I have a MacBook Pro laptop and am trying to use iPhoto.  I uploaded pictures but they uploaded out of order.  Photos taken from different locations on my trip are all mixed up and I would like to sort them in chronological order.  Things I have tried have been time consuming and often take several attempts before the moved photo "takes" to its new location within the album.  If anyone can provide step by step instructions for this senior, it would be very much appreciated.  Thank you.

  • Managing the position of photos within an Album

    I am unable to drag and drop photos within a Shared Album.  I was able to do this  previously.  Is this not possible in a shared album?

    Photos has very limited sort order for any album. Generally, either by date and time, or manually. You can only change that on user created albums. Hopefully, future updated will provide more user control.
    You're welcome

  • Can't drag & drop photos within an album in iPhoto6

    I can't change the order of photos in an album by dragging. Looking at the other posts, I've fixed the Helvetica bug several times (by re-activating the font in Fonts Book) but it still doesn't work. When trying to drag, the photo will migrate to a strange place within the album, or not at all. Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for your replies, TD. They are ordinary albums. I haven't made any smart albums yet. It's strange, sometimes when I'm trying to relocate a photo I'll see the cursor flash in another place on the page and the photo will migrate there. Sometimes there are no cursors at all.

  • Organizing photos within an event

    Is it possible to move around or relocate photos in an event. Example, I have a lot of old family photos I have copied both sides of and would like to keep them next to each other, front side photo & back side names on photo. Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Not within an Event, no. Events are strictly based on date and time. However, make an Alnum from an Event and you can organise things as you prefer.
    You can make a Album simply by dragging an Event to the word 'Albums' in the iPhoto Window. Albms take up no extra disk space. As the simply reference photos in the Library, a pic can me in many albums with no duplication.

  • I'm unable to access photos  within an album...

    ...all it does is start to play the slideshow. Any suggestions?

    So when you single click on the album it starts the slideshow instead of opening the album?
    Create another album, move the photos to it and see if you can get it to work correctly.  If so just delete the problem album.  If you can't delete it apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
