PSE6 - sort by file name

How to sort by file name in the Organize view of PSE6.
I tried Display->Folder Location. But there are still two pictures (#15 and #18 out of 130) which are shown at the end of the view.
More sort options in the thumbnail view would be helpful.
Thanks
Hagen

Not sure I understand what zou mean here Hagen. Do you because the
images are in a different folder they don't end up in the right sequence?

How can I make Sort by File Name the default in Adobe Bridge CS5?

The only online support I have found so far avoids the specific question. Must I assume that Sort by File Name cannot be made the default - and will revert to Manual each time I close Bridge?

If you have "start bridge at login checked" your changes will not keep unless you close program by clicking on File then Exit. Just closing window does not exit program.
Option is in advanced preferences.

How can I get Elements 11 Organiser to sort by File Name as in Elements 7

I have just acquired Elements 11 to replace Elements 7
All my main photos (thousands) are in 1 file on my computer.
My individual file names are dates - eg "1960-09Sept Venice St Marks Square.." etc, so File Names bring my thousands of images up in date order.
I have tagged them in Elements 11 as appropriate with 1 or more Tags per photo.
In Elements 7 there is an Option "Display" and one of the options is "Folder Location" i.e file name order, which is what I want.
I cannot find this option in Elements 11 - all I have found is an option to sort by just "new" or "old" i.e file date order. Fine for photgraphs where the file date is the same as the photo but a scan done today may be of an image in 1960 which is where I wanted it sorted!
I know you can amend the file date in Elements 11 for each image but I have hundreds of scans to redate!
I also know you can bring the images up in Elements 11 of my whole file by using "Reveal in Explorer" which brings them up in file name/date order for me but not when I click on the Elements 11 Tags which reverts to File Date.
Is there anyway I can get the Tags to sort by File Name/Location in Elements 11 as in Elements 7?

Many thanks for your previous message. Very useful.
In fact in preparing to answer your question, I find that maybe my problem is not as bad as I thought!
Yes, I have a lot of photos but the majority in digital form are photos (2,500) since the year 2000 which will be sorted by Elements according to the photo/file date.
I have 6,000 or so prints/slides going back mostly to the 1930s but quite a few back as far as the late 1800s. I am scanning a lot of these into digital form but I have only scanned about 500 or so so far and it is only these that are causing a problem. (I am unlikely to scan all 6,000!). These range from the 1880s to 2000. However, as I only started taking digital photos in 2000, if I follow your suggestion, I could give all my scans the same file date (a date prior to 2000) and if I understand correctly what you say, they will then all be sorted in the alpha/numeric order I want.
Have I got this right?.
I suppose, as an alternative, It would not be a real problem to insert a file date for the 500 or so I have scanned and I would then just need to enter a file date for any future scans.
As you indicate, there are other options but one of the 2 options above seem at present to be my best bet.
Thank you very much for your suggestions - maybe I can now more or less get what I want without too much effort but I would still prefer Adobe to add a File Location Option as before!

Virtual Copies, Stacking & Sort by File Name

The scenario is as follows...
I create a Virtual Copy of an image (Original & VC automatically stacked)
The file is sorted based on the File Name of the Original file.
I now move the Virtual Copy to the top of the stack.
The file has been moved to the very beginning of the sort list!!!???
Sort by File Name no longer works as expected even though the VC and the Original have the same file name.
This behaviour is the same whether the stack is collapsed or expanded.
File returns to correctly ordered sort position when Original is moved back to the top of the stack.
Does anybody have an explanation for this?

How do i sort by (file) name

How do i sort by file name for an album? I organize the photos from all different sources.. by filename.. and when i import them i just want them in the right order. This has to be one of the most basic functions and why was it eliminated from iPhoto?
Now all i get is "keep sorted by date" check box... (which does not work, some are still not in order)
Apple: this minimalist crap is getting old.. THIS IS A desktop PC..not an ipad or iphone. Put some meat in the menus and stop worrying so much about everything being pretty and streamlined.
C'mon!!!.. wasted time

Now all i get is "keep sorted by date" check box... (which does not work, some are still not in order)
"Keep sorted by date" can only be toggled on and off for regular albums, not for smart albums.

I need a clear answer - can files be sorted by file name in pse8.

I have looked everywhere in pse8 and cannot find a way to sort my pictures by file name. I cannot believe Adobe would have left this capability out of the program. I have saved my pictures with sequential file numbering. I would appreciate a clear answer so I can quit messing with this. Thanks much..

First and foremost, I must have the ability to sort by file name across folders. If PSE8 cannot do it, what's another product can do it? My friend, an expert user initially recommended me to Bridge but I haven't been able to buy or download Bridge alone, what is my best option to have that kind of sort capability without spending an arm and a leg to get that plus a bunch of other features that I don't need.
Look forward to your answer, many thanks in anticipation.

How do I get my photos to sort by file name when sync'd to the iPad?

How do I get my photos to sort by file name when sync'd to the iPad? The default sorting method changes the order of pictures when sync'd from my pc.

How can I have uploaded pictures to iPhone or iPad be sorted by file name. Used to be able to based on their folders, but it no longer works and puts pictures in random order, I guess by date, which doesn't work for me. Need them by file name.

Using windows. In the past I was able to have the picutres sorted in files and by file name and that is how they showed in the phone or pad. Not long ago one of the itune updates changed so it sorted by date and the the another update changed so it went by file name. Well when I got a new computer and updated itunes it won't load pictures in correct order. Is there an option I'm missing or is this an option that Apple should have for how you want pictures sorted?

SELECT     datapoint,
           sub_total,
           section
FROM       report_table
WHERE      datapoint IN
               (SELECT   datapoint
                FROM     report_table
                WHERE    section IN ('027', '038', '042', '044', '006', '008', '011', '022', '023')
                AND      report_name = :selected_report_name
                GROUP BY datapoint
                HAVING SUM(CASE WHEN section IN ('027', '038', '042', '0440') THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
                    <> SUM(CASE WHEN section IN ('008', '011', '022', '023') THEN 1 ELSE 0 END))
ORDER BY   datapoint;

When I import photos from PC to iPhoto can I sort by file name?

***Planning on converting from PC to Mac soon.***
I have organised my photos on my PC into folders. For some of these photos I have renamed the files to ensure they always display in a certain order when sorted alphabetically.
I am aware that iPhoto does not really use file names. I see the advantages of this but as I am used to the Windows convention I have the following question:
When I import my photos to iPhoto, will they still be sorted alphabetically by the file names I have carefully created on my Windows PC, or will I need to resort them manually?
Thanks!

When you import into iPhoto, each imported set goes into a folder called Last Import.
One way to do what you want without losing your organization:
iPhoto / File / Import to Library. Navigate to the first folder on the pc. and click on Import. The contents of the folder on the PC will all come together.
On the Mac the photos will be in the folder called Last Import.
On the Mac, create a new folder with the name you want. (File Menu / New folder)
Move the photos as a batch (select all) from the Last Import folder to the one you just named.
Do this as many time as you have folders.

LR 5.6 Sorting photos - Sort by file name?

Is there a way to sort the photos by file name? The files seem to be in a random order in the filmstrip. They stay in this order or reverse order when using Sort above the filmstrip.

On the toolbar above the filmstrip there is a dropdown menu to the right of “sort” where you can choose file name. Press the T key once or twice to show/hide the tool bar if it can’t be seen immediately.

Elements Organizer 8. Alphabetic sort on file name

I have been advised to create an Album and then select Album Order. When I do this it still sorts in Date (Newest First) order. I have check Preferences are set to sort Albums alphabetically not manually. Can anyone help me to get my selection sorted in alphabetic order on file name?

Brian
I have tried your link to the ‘feedback.photoshop.com’ thread but get a message ‘Page Not Found’. If you do get through my comment would be as follows:
It is sad that Organizer is not able to sort a key selection of images from multiple source files into alphabetic order by file name. It can sort by ‘Date (Newest First)’ and ‘Date (Oldest First)’ so it should not be that hard to make it sort alphabetically.
When images are loaded into Albums a new sort ‘Album Order’ is offered, and the wording of the ‘Options – Preferences - Keyword Tags & Albums’ for Albums, supported by the Help description, gives hope of an alphabetic sort. However this is misleading. It says Alphabetic or Manual but it should say Album order or Manual. Album order will only be alphabetic if the source images have been pre-sorted into alphabetic sequence by originating in the same folder and are then imported in Folder View. If imported to the Album as thumbnails in Thumbnail View they will remain in the sequence of the thumbnails and even if Alphabetic is selected in the Options they will not be sorted alphabetically.
An alphabetic sort would enhance any future release version of Optimize.

Sort by file name

I'm loading from negatives, all in random order, so I do not have valid time stamps on the Windows files. I've renamed the file to put them in order. Why can't I get Organizer to load them by name? Once I fix and rotate the files why can't I see these changes from Windows?

Hi,
I think that you have probably got numbers in your names and these could be causing the difference between PSE and Windows display.
In Windows you might see
     Image 8
     Image 9
     Image 10
     Image 11
In PSE you might get
     Image 10
     Image 11
     Image 8
     Image 9
Windows 7 appears to do a logic sort whereas PSE does a pure alphanumeric sort character by character. I think that PSE is the way XP used to do the sort.
There isn't anyway to change PSE but you could get the desired effect by renaming with leading zeros so that they become
     Image 08
     Image 09
     Image 10
     Image 11
If your filenames don't contain numbers then please ignore this reply

Can get sort by file name not by added order?

When I import, LR for some reasons seems to always default the sort to added order, not filename. Its a real nuisance, anything I can do. thanks!

Ok, found view toolbar, funny, I don't even see the toolbar, what is it. what does it show? I doubt it's relevant to this conversation...?
Cornelia, thanks. ok, so the default is previous import. Can I get LR to default to Folders?
Ok, so you are like me, if you want capture time as your sory then you have to remember to manually then click the folder name? But still even with the folder name selected LR chooses added order, not what I want.
