In the Photos tab you can drag the albums in the list to change the order.

"All Photos" album order mixed up after restore (device change)

I recently had to back up and restore an iPhone 6 to a new iPhone 6.
I did a full backup to iTunes, then restored to the new iPhone 6 from that backup.
Everything was restored, including all photos... (I have iCloud Photo Library turned on)... EXCEPT in the "All Photos" default album on my phone, the photos are not in the usual date order. They are all mixed up, mostly in large consecutive chunks, but with some individual photos randomly dispersed. No pattern that I can see otherwise. It looks like: (Jan-Mar 2010)--(Apr 2013-Nov 2013)--(Apr-2010-Feb 2013)--(Dec 2013-Feb 2014)--(Apr 2014-Sep 2014)--(Feb 2015 to today). Something like that.
The "Photos" tab, where you see collections, years, etc, is in date order. On iCloud.com, it is in the right order in the "All Photos" album. However, it is in the *wrong* order on my iPad, where I also have iCloud Photo Library turned on.
What I have tried:
1) Turning off, then turning back on iCloud Photo Library beta.
2) Full erase and restore from iCloud
3) Full erase and restore from a new backup
One more option would be to try restoring from the backup I made before the new iPhone 6, but then I would lose changes since then (about 2 weeks), and I would rather try to avoid that.
Has anyone seen this before? Why is this happening, and what else can I try to fix the order? I saw another thread about out of order events, but this seems different.

I have noticed this as well. The actual dates in the meta data of the photos are correct, however they are displaying completely out of order in 'All Photos' in iOS and OSX Photos.

Apple TV Photo Album Order

I just noticed that for some reason, the photo albums that I initially synced to my Apple TV appear alphabetically -- and then right after all of those albums, any new photo albums I synced subsequently appear alphabetically (i.e., A-Z original albums, A-Z new albums).
Has anyone else noticed this, and is there any way to fix this?
I just checked and my iPod Classic does the exact same thing. I have no idea why. I'm using the standard defaults in iTunes.

Yes I just synched new photos and the old photo folders appear alpabetically in "my photos" but the new folders only show in a new alphabetical list at the bottom of the old folder list.

Photo Albums order into AppleTV

Hello,
looking at my photo library from the Apple Tv 2nd gen I don't see them in the same order as they are shown into iPhoto on my macMini,
it seems the Apple Tv shows them sorting by the import date into ATV, while i would like to have them sorted alphabetically..
what I can do to reorder the album list onto my Apple TV?
Enrico
thanks,

This is bassackwards and makes no since when the iPhone places newest images first also. It makes me scroll through 1000's of photos every time I want to show clients something. You can import images into iFile app, for fix for presentations... But Apple needs to fix or at least match iPhone procedures. Why they are not addressing #1 user complaint I'm not sure.

I wish to put my photo albums in alphabetical order. Advice was to right click on pane at left. I do not have a left pane on my i-pad and only have touch screen,what do I "right click" with and how do I get a "left pane" in my Photos folder?

I would like to put my i-pad photo albums into alphabetical order. The advice received previously was to "right click" on an album in the left pane. I do not have a left pane in my photos folder, how would I get this? Also I only have touch screen so what would I "right click" with? thank you

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?

I spent hours building a photo album for my parents only to find out that because my mac is earlier than 2007, even though I have 10.6.8, I can no longer order?! What is with that? This makes no sense. I can go online to various "photo shop" place and regardless of the OS and computer I am working from I can order a photo album so why can I no longer do this through iPhoto on my MAC?
How do I order my album now? If somebody could please explain as I am going home in 1 month and really wanted to surprise my aging parents with this book.

I can not transfer my photo albums from my Ipad to my computer(Microsoft windows). I have spent some time arranging these albums into some order with each having it's own name.but when i transfer it to my computer the photo's are out of order

We have sorted our photo's into albums with each having their own headings on our Ipad. We have now downloaded these to our computer (Microsoft).The only problem is they did not save in the album order or have any reference to the name of the album. I was wondering if there is away to download our photo's by album from the ipad to a Microsoft computer or even to an extermal hard drive.

First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
What computer do you have?

I have a Mac OSx 10.6.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5 and can no longer order printed photo albums unless i install new version of iPhoto. But reviews of new iPhoto so negative. Should I install it or steer clear of it??

I have a Mac OSx 10.6.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5 and can no longer order printed photo albums unless I update to new version of iPhoto. But reviews of new iPhoto are so negative that I am uncomfortable about buying it. Will it be fine or should I steer clear of trouble and accept that i can no longer publish my photos?

iPhoto '11 is working well.
The reviews usually only show the comments of people who do not like the changed features.
To get an idea what to expect, when you upgrade, look at the iPhoto '11 support sites.

I have 278 photos in Photoshop Elements 13 that I want to upload in album order to Shutterfly for a book.

I am using Photoshop Elements 13 and Windows 8.1. I have my photos in album order and I want to load them in this order. When I try to load them to the Cloud they become disorganized. I can not find a way to upload them to Shutterfly to make a book. Is there a way to do this?

This is a two part process. First we title the photos, then we export them, using the title as filename.
To title them
Once you have then in the order you want select them all and go
Photos -> Batch Change. Select set 'Title' to 'Text'
Choose a Title -> Graduation 2013 or whatever, then check the box at 'Append number to each photo.
Now, in the Album all your photos are named... Graduation 001, 002, 003 etc
Next Export them:
File -> Export, and in the Name option, choose 'Title as Filename' and complete the export.

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.

Hello, i created 5 different books (photo album) and i would like to know if it's possible to make one single order (and pay the transportation fees only once...) i couldn't find how

Soory, no, it is not possible. You can only combine multiple copies of the same book into one order.

Photo Albums in Random Order

I have recently moved from Aperture to Lightroom because Apple are no longer going to develop Aperture. Needless to say I have to create new photo albums to be able to view on ATV, which I've done.
Now when I point iTunes to the folders of albums they appear in chronological order in iTunes (my files are names by year/month - album name e.g.. 2014/08 - Vacation)
When I view the photo album list on ATV they are in a random order. Does anyone know a work around that I am not seeing. I do remember some years ago this happened and then an update happened and it seemed to rectify it. And yes my ATV's are up to date.
Any help would be appreciated.

Before going into any depth about this have you checked that you aren't simply using the shuffle option in the slideshow settings.

Placing photo albums in order

Hi all!
First thing first, I work in a photography studio in Spain and all of our tech stuff is Apple. We love it and it goes great until.... it doesn't!
Me and my boss use our iPads very often for presentations, we have most of our pictures (over 15 thousand) in the iPad, we have them in iPhoto organized in albums and sync them with iTunes. All was nice and smooth, then iOs 5.0 came around and we loved it, iCloud and all the other goodies are great for the office but the photo part started acting weird. All of a sudden the photo albums started having a strange random order, an order that would change every time we sync with iTunes. Having over 50 albums their order is key for smooth presentations with clients and partners. So I started calling the Apple assistance, went to the store, over and over and over and no one seemed to know why this happens until someone at the Apple store told me to delete the iPod Photo Cache folder from inside the iPhoto library and the magic happened: finally the pictures were syncing right! Phew!! But then we started realizing that every single time we sync we need to delete the iPod Photo Cache folder or the order goes nuts again..
I tried Aperture and it's great but same problem: the albums are in the right order in iTunes when I sync them but then in the device they are in some random weird order that makes no sense.
So the question is: can you advise a way to effectively sync pictures between the mac and the iPad so that albums appear in an order I defined my photo software (iPhoto/Aperture/MS Paint/whatever)? Is there any third-party app that would do that? ANY help will be rewarded with huuuuuge amounts of greatfulness for the rest of my life
Gracias!

I'm not sure there is an order because even if I have not added any photos to my iPhoto albums, the order always changes every time I sync.
When I do add photos to existing albums, or even great new albums, they don't follow alphabetical order like they do in iPhoto. Some albums stay where they are, others don't follow along.

How do you sort photo albums in date order instead of alphabetic order?

My photo albums used to be date sorted but after selecting Sort albums, they are now in alphabetic order. How do I undo that, please?

this is strictly a user to user forum and is specifically NOT a place to contact Apple - griping at the volenteer users here does no one any good at all
Have you made the request - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback?

I am sorry that I ran afoul of the user guidelines, I'll remove the rant if I can. I certainly did not intend my gripe to target the helpful responder. And yes, I did provide the feedback to Apple. I'm just used to such feedback going into a "black hole". Which this almost certainly does because this problem has existed for years (I Googled for an answer first.) However, it should be noted that company's tend to respond to feedback that is very public if they want to keep a good name in the business. The private feedback through the program is like a quiet whisper, only the two parties involved know about it, so there is no real incentive for prompt action.

Creating photo album in historical order for web page viewing

I am trying to use Photoshop Elements 7 for Windows to create a photo album of historical images for our college archives. The photos were scanned from old pictures so defaulted to sort by the date scanned. I have edited the album by dragging and dropping the pictures to arrange them from the earliest picture of our first building through the years to the present. When this album is viewed on the webpage through www.photoshop.com/ the pictures do not display in the correct order. Can this be changed and if so, how?

After you first sync a PSE 7 album with Photoshop.com, any changes you make to the ordering of pics in the album in PSE arent synced back to Photoshop.com and vice versa. Youll have to manually reorder them in Photoshop.com.
A couple of suggestions for your project:
- Consider assigning dates to the photos in PSE using Edit > Adjust Date And Time. That way, theyll show up correctly ordered in the PSE Organizer, and you can easily add new scanned photos and theyll automatically get ordered.
- Consider using Flickr, Smugmug, or other online service rather than Photoshop.com. Photoshop.com is brand new and has a number of basic bugs in its service it doesnt preserve ordering of albums, it mangles the dates/times of photos, synchronization frequently stalls. Maybe in another six months itll be more robust.
