Please explain how to change Album sort order

I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I've looked everywhere and can't find a solution.
Itunes appears to be sorting my albums by year. For instance on my iPad under Dave Matthews the first album is Remember two thing from 1993.
I want to change the album order displayed on my iPad for everything under Dave Matthews Band. How do I do this?

Arrange roughly translates to "group the items in the folder." Sort is how each group is ordered. If you have arrange set to none, you can sort by anything. However, there is no way in the Arrange/Sort menu to choose the direction. The only way to do that is in the List View, and you must have Arrangement set to None.
I've submitted an Enhancement Request to allow choosing sort direction from the Arrange/Sort menu, but I haven't ever gotten a response, which is good and bad. Good because they will often respond that they have considered it and don't plan on implementing. Bad in that they've haven't implemented it.

HT2470 Why does this not explain how to change the sort order?

Why does this (i.e. support at Apple.com) not explain how to change the sort order? I can "arrange" by Date Modified for example but it won't let me switch to use most recent dates first. Also, what is Apple-speak for arrange versus sort anyway? It seems I used to be able to click on a column heading in finder and get a drop down arrow allowing me to change the sort sequence.

How to change the sort order of complex table in drop down

Hi Team,
I have a complex table which is working but the sort order i want in a different way. How can i change?
Regards,
Gupta

Gupta,
My screen field definitions are as follows:
1. Location
2. Partner
--In my previous reply, the first screen shot is without any parent index. So it is giving all values in alphabetical order only.
--After that I created parent index for partner with location, So the partner values are depend on location chosen.
In my TEST1:
--I just selected "Andhra pradesh" as location, In partner field drop down it is showing "Ragava" "Suman" "Sunitha" only.
--Because these are only the values belong to "andhra pradesh" location and these are coming in alphabetical order only.
TEST2:
--Here I selected "Gujrat" as location, In partner field drop down it is showing "Avinash" "Mohan" "Suman" which are belong to "Gujrat" location, These are also in alphabetical order only.
Hope this clears now. Still any query please post.
Thanks,
Swaroopa.

How to change the Sort Order?

Hi,
I want to do a sorting on 3 fields in the order say for Eg:Name,Number,Dt.On the report I have grouped by Number so by default it appears in the sort list(Asec),So my sort order on the report looks like Number,Name,Dt but as per the requriment I want to sort it first by Name, then by Number, and then by Dt.
Is there a work around for this...

Try to insert a summary on name field in group footer like maximum(,).
Now go to report>group sort expert>select all based on maximum(,)
Now the report sorts based Name field instead of number field
Regards,
Raghavendra

Please explain how to change font settings. Currently, my version of Firefox is not displaying bolded print that should be bold

Previously, Firefox was correctly displaying information that was in bold font; and for some inexplicable reason it stopped displaying the bold print. Instead, it was displayed in non-bold print. I wish to restore the bold print. Internet Explorer correctly displays the same web page.

Do you have that problem on all websites that use bold characters or only on some of websites?
If it only happens on one website then please post a link.<br />
It is possible that there is a problem with one or more fonts.
Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

How do I change the sort order in the file picker?

Hi there,
I've recently hit a problem with the Save and Open dialogs in Mavericks. Some how I have changed the sort order within the Column View so that it sorts by modified date and no longer by name. Unfortunately I can't work out how that happened or how to get it back so that it sorts by Name.
Please could anyone help?

Normally, you click on this thing (shown below) and select the sorting preference.

How to set default sort order for all folders/albums/etc

This is driving me nuts, having to change the sort order from manual to file name every time I change projects or folders (and I have a lot of both). Is there a way to set the default to just sort by file name ascending? Or sort by timestamp (that's date + time, not just date)?

I am in process of doing some rearrangement to make Projects as the main box (the file drawer) with headings like: iPhone, Assignments, Events, Landscape, People, Travel. Then, a specific folder under the project. Then, an Album under the Folder.
This should be started as a new thread -- do so if you have any questions.
Strongly recommend using Projects as intended (see comments by Frank and DLSCreative in current thread ^1^ and long comment by me in another thread ^2^ ). In your case that would mean Folders with the headings you've selected, the (most likely) Projects, then Albums (and perhaps more Folders).

Why does iPhoto change the sort order of the photos in my album when I attempt to share via Photo Stream?

Why does iPhoto change the sort order of the photos in my album when I attempt to share via Photo Stream?

Did anyone find a good way to sort the shared albums better, so that the ones you share with can better find their way around.
You can arrange them manually in an album, select all and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date to menu option and check the box to add a set interval between photos. That will let the photos be sorted by date and be in the order you want:

Browser window album sort order change?

Hi,
do you know if there's any way to change the sort order for albums on the browser window?
I'd like to view the album list for each artist sorted by release date order (as in discography) rather than alphabetically.

Colin,
Change the View option to include Year then click on
the column heading.
that works on the main window, not in the browser window.
No matter what column I click in the main song window, the browser windows remain alphabetically sorted.

How change the sort order of searched items so last search item shows first. I DO NOT mean the order of search engines, but existing searches by down arrow key

I want to be able to change the sort order of items I have already searched for in the search box. I want to be able to hit the down arrow key and see my previous searches in the order of last search showing first. At the moment I have no idea how it is sorting and it's very annoying to have to re-type a query I typed 5 minutes earlier but because I typed in another 10 since it is lost somewhere in the list. Can this be done, I have googled but did not find the topic anywhere. Just to clarify, I DO NOT MEAN the order of search engines (which is all that comes up in google), I mean the actual text typed in which has been saved in the drop down list.
Thanks

The "form fill" feature uses a "frecency" algorithm, frequency + recency, similar to the address bar autocomplete list.
I found an extension that seems relevant, but the reviews are old so I'm not sure it's still working: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/searchbar-autocomplete-order/ Searchbar Autocomplete Order].
But... is the autocomplete not working? I would expect that typing a couple characters of the earlier query would filter the list so you can easily select it? Or is the problem that the list doesn't remember enough searches for that?

Album sort order suddenly gone crazy iTunes

G'day people
For some reason, the last couple of albums I've downloaded from the iTunes store, to my iTunes, displays those albums groups by artist instead of album. Even when I select them an manually change the sort order it makes no difference.
Pre-existing albums already in iTunes are not affected, just newly downloaded. This is also happening with albums I purchase directly from the iPhone and sync back to iTunes on my Mac.
Has anybody else come across this problem and have any suggestions on how I can fix it?
Cheers
Al

Figured it out. I added "Various Artists" in the Album Artist field for every track and it then sorted them all together.

Album sort order PSE11 - is it by design ?

When experimenting with the sort order of albums in PSE11, I was surprised to see that in some albums, changing the sort order from 'oldest' to 'newest' did not produce any effect.
The reason of this probably lies in the menu /preferences/general :
If you have only pictures taken the same day, the above setting will still show 'oldest first' even you choose 'newest first' for album order.
I believe that the most used order is 'album order' and that the 'newest first' is very rare.
I can understand the option to browse 'oldest first within each day' when in 'newest first' in thumbnail view.
However, I wonder if that option makes sense to sort an album ?
Was it by design ?
If it were me...
I would not use that preference for an album,
and...
I would add the option to sort by filename and caption.

this is all greek to me. WHAT IS STARTTLS? On the first page of Apple set up there is a TLS certificate and it is marked NONE- should I change it to the long APPLE CERT option? The next page under ADVANCED: THERE IS A BOX SSL MARKED. Then IMAP Path Prefix - I put stmp.gmail.com.. is that right? Port 993 can use this one? as 456 doesn't work and 587 said it wasn't safe. Under AUTHENTICATION I used PASSWORD. Should I have used external client cert TLS?
Please help me set this up securely. Thanks
