PSE 7 Sort order in file folder view

In Thumbnail view I can order the photos by oldest first or newest first. When I change my display option to folder view the photos do not display in any order. Not the order taken (oldest to newest) or (newest to oldest) or by filename. I am unable to determine the logic that is applied in folder view. Further, I can not locate a sort tool either in folder view. I am running Vista, and am new to PSE. I have been running Macintosh with iPhoto, so this is my mindset. Any migration advice from iPhoto Mac to Vista PSE7 would also be of interest.

Ernst,
The PSE Organizer is designed for organizing photos by date/time and keyword tags, not folders and filenames. So most people find that once their photos have the right date/time, they can profitably ignore folders and filenames. A couple of suggestions for getting all your photos to have the right date/time:
1. Adjust the date/time of each folder of images as described in the previous message, so they all have the correct date/time. That may be a little tedious, but if you have 20 different such folders, youll be done soon enough. Then in the Organizers Thumbnail view, all the photos will be arranged by date/time.
2. Create a new album in the Organize pane. Then put each folder of images with wrong date/times into the album. Then click on the album name in the Organize pane to show just those images. Now you can freely rearrange their order within the album. Once theyre ordered correctly, you can select all of them and use Edit > Adjust Date And Time to shift them to the correct starting time(s).

Sort order of file names in list windows

Why is the sort order of file names in the File > Open File...
list window other than in a normal Finder list window?
Example:
File > Open...:
@@@2Know.pages
@@@2KnowQ.pages
@@@@@2Do.pages
@@@@eBayAmaz.pages
@@@@pws.pages
@@@@Sold-DE.pages
@@@@Sold-UK.pages
Finder Window:
@@@@@2Do.pages
@@@@eBayAmaz.pages
@@@@pws.pages
@@@@Sold-DE.pages
@@@@Sold-UK.pages
@@@2Know.pages
@@@2KnowQ.pages
How could both lists be displayed equal?
Thanks!

Run this short script
set theFolder to choose folder
set theNames to list folder theFolder
set texte to ""
repeat with n in theNames
--set n to n as text
set texte to texte & n & return
repeat with i from 1 to count of n
set texte to texte & (ASCII number of character i of n) & " , "
end repeat
set texte to texte & return
end repeat
set p2d to path to desktop
set rapport to "the characters.txt"
tell application "Finder"
if exists file rapport of p2d then delete file rapport of p2d
set theRapport to (make new file at p2d with properties {name:rapport})
end tell
write texte to (theRapport as alias) starting at 1
navigate to the folder whose list seems curious.
You will get a file named "the characters.txt" on the desktop.
It will show the code of every character embedded in fileNames.
My guess is that there are some control characters which aren't treated the same by the open dialog and by the Finder.
Here is an example:

Sort order of files when opening a document within a program

When opening Explorer, files are correctly sorted in alphabetical order.
When opening a document (say within Word), if I search a folder then the files/folders are in a strange sort order - something like last used or modified. I don't know how this happened. I want them sorted alphabetically like in Explorer.
What do I need to do? I'm fed up of having to sort every folder each time I open it within a program.

have you expanded the Files Panel, made the sort by clicking
on the
headings, then collapsed it?

Pcmanfm sort order of files

Hello all, I have a question. Is there a way to change the default sort order of pcmanfm? Whenever I start it up, files will be shown sorted by type. I would like it to sort files by name instead.

I was also wondering about this annoyance and found this thread searching for a solution.
Experimenting now, it seems you actually don't have to edit the pcmanfm.conf manually. If you set the sort order you want, then go to Edit / Preferences / Close, then pcmanfm will save your current sort_type and sort_by as well even though they're not in the Preferences GUI interface. So that's an easy way to do it.

Why is manual sort order disabled in album view

I created an album and added pictures. By default, the photos are displayed in sort order by date. I'd like to manually order them. However, when I select the sort order drop down box, the option to manually order the photos is disabled. How can I enable it or why is it disabled.

It is not available because you have yet to create a manual sort for that Album, and so there is no "Manual Sort" available. Create a manual sort manually (re-arrange the photos). Then the "Manual Sort" menu choice should become available.
The menu switches between the existing sorts.
I didn't design it. This makes sense to engineers, but not so much to users. Any time you manually re-arrange your images, the sort is automatically changed to "Manual". Aperture remembers the last manual sort; it is always available via the sort selector.

How do I change the sort order of files viewed in Save As and keep the new sort order permanent?

When I find a graphic I want to save, I choose Save Image As. I navigate to an existing folder but the items shown are not arranged by name. I right click on the Save As window and choose Arrange By Name. The sort works and I save my item. Later when I go back to the same folder the items are not arranged by name. I want the "arrange by name" option to be permanent.

The same as with a file browser. The bar at the top of the window;
name, size, date''' . . . . . . .''' click what you want.

Sort Order of Files In Files List

Yes, yes... it sounds like another case of FTFF (fix the
f*****g finder).
I switched from Windows, and DW used to display files in a
sensible order. i.e. directories alpha, and then files alpha. This
made it easy to select file in a directory within DW.
Now, on Mac OS X everything is alphabetised and jumbled up. I
suspect this is unfixable, and is a reflection of the much hated
finder column view issue.
Is there a way to change the way DW sorts the dirs and files
in the file list window (other than reversing it)?

Sort order switches when changing from List to Thumbnail View

I can't seem to get the Thumbnail view to "lock" to the same sort order as the list view. I arrange by file name (or ingest date, or reverse media duration, or any of the other sortable metadata fields) in list view, but then when I click to the thumbnail view, the order seems to arbitrariliy change to some sort of preset. What's worse, it appears to be changing to something that's in a jumbled order.
This isn't a big deal if I only have 10 clips. If I have 100, or 1,000 clips though, they have to be in a sortable order for the thumbnail view to be of any use.
Thanks,
Eli

Hi,
Thanks for your post. Our current design doesn't support keeping order between list view and icon view. It would be good if you can drop that as a feature request / bug into the the forum.

Create folder view with files and tasks

Good day to you,
we want to support our software development procces with Vibe. What we are doing is, we make changes to the source code and protocol corresponding things in certain files.
We think in so called "releases" and every release consists of tasks and a list of changes. This list is held in an excel file, so I would like to create a folder view, which consists of tasks and files.
So far I could create a custom folder view with attachments at the top and a task list at the bottom, based on the task family.
The problem is, the attachment view as a standard folder view does not allow colleborative editing of attached files. You can only view and download attached files, but not open them via Office addin. Therefore you can not lock or version files, which is mandatory for collaborative work.
I would like to mix the file folder view with it's possibilities with a task folder view.
Any ideas?
Warm regards
bitschnau

There's no out of the box way to achieve what you're looking for.
Two solutions:
1. Your users would need to open the entry first and then click on the "edit this file" link.
2. You could code your own folder view or landing page element and build what you need.
HTH
Cheers

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.

Comm: file 1 is not in sorted order?

comm: file 1 is not in sorted order
comm: file 2 is not in sorted order
==> ERROR: An unknown error has occurred. Exiting...
==> Removing installed dependencies...
Have seen the comm: error a few times lately. Apps appear to install without issue, what is the comm referencing?

See e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … base_group
Both inputs have to be sorted before feeding them to comm:
comm -23 <(pacman -Qeq|sort) ...
and not just
comm -23 <(pacman -Qeq) ...

Calendar List View Sort Order

If I have two appointments set to the same time and length on the calendar, the sort order on the "month" view is sorted based on the title (this is great and what I am looking for). If I go to the "day" view or the "list" view the sort order appears to be random. I have tried to figure out what the sort order is for the list view and the day view but no luck.
I am using a second calendar in Outlook for tasks and setting all items to the same time and length. I can then create a task list that syncs to the iphone. Just can't get the sorting figured out.

Hi,
I have the same issue since one week ago (iPhone 3GS, iOS 4.0.2).
Only 2 calendars on my Exchange mailbox are synced. Items show correctly on the day and month view, but in list view (which I use most), some of them appear under a wrong date. Annoying !
After restart and/or remove/add of calendars, list view takes a long time to 'load'. switching to day view and the back to list makes it appear (but unfortunately with the same problem).
Greetz,
Philip

Photo sort order in the HP Touchpad

Hi,
Is there anyway to sort the albums and pictures in the Photo App in the HP Touchpad? There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to how the albums and pictures are displayed. If there is no way to sort, how are the albums and pictures read in order to display? Maybe I can rename the data to get them in the right order, although this seems like a lot more work than it should be. Would there be an update to this app to make it better? Because there are no other apps available to actually view photos of the system
Thanks!

Near as I can tell, it seems to sort based on file/folder creation/modification date, with the most recent date at the top.
I used a free bulk file and folder time/date stamp utility (BatchTouch) to organize the times on my folders, and so far, it seems to work. The touchpad re-read my images and re-sorted the folders. I ran the utility directly against the HP TouchPad folders when it was mounted as a USB drive.

Maintaining iPhoto sort order when sending to iDVD

Hello - I have a few iPhoto Events I'd like to put on a DVD as separate chapters.
However, the sorting order I set when viewing Events (using the title) is not preserved when I send them to iDVD. iDVD seems to get them sorted by file name.
A work-around is to export the slides by title (not file name) then re-import them into iDVD but this takes time and brain power.
Is there a faster way to preserve the viewing order when sending iPhoto Event pictures to iDVD?
All help gratefully received.
David.

David,
Create an Album in iPhoto (one for each slideshow) and arrange it the way you want. The Media Pane in iDVD should see the Albums and let you select one. You can drag a whole album into the Slideshow creation window and iDVD will import it, preserving the album order.
Regards.
