Sort Album by name in PSE11

Hello,
i'm a hobby sports photographer. I shot lots of fast series. After an import into organizer pics with same time stamp are arranged in random order so the series get mangled. It is no fun to bring back the correct sequence by hand for hundereds of pictures. Slideshows, Video etc. are senseless.
A simple "sort by name" would solve this. So, how to sort by name?
Thanks in advance!

The lack of alphabetical sort is a well known (and recognized) bug in PSE11.
I never shoot in burst mode, so I wanted to see why the usual workaround to assign the same date/time to a series of photos did not work here.
I had imported from the card via the downloader a burst mode series which did not show in filename order. They were in a single folder. So, I deleted them from catalog and reimported them from the folder (instead of using the downloader). That worked for me : the pictures are now shown in alphabetical order even in the 'import batch' view mode.
I suspect the downloader is responsible for the difference in behaviour. While the camera writes the times with the 1/100th seconds, the catalog skips them and only records full seconds.
Edit :
I think I was wrong : I don't see the 1/100th of seconds written by the camera in the metadata when using an exif viewer.

IPhone photo album file name sort order

I have a folder with photos in it on my Mac. When I sync the folder to my iPhone and view the photos on the phone, the photos are not displaying in file name sort order. The file names of the photos are numbers (001, 002, 003 etc.). It seems the photos are being displayed in date created order and not in the file name order. The album with photos on my Mac is arranged / sorted by the name when syncing.
Is there a way to have the photos in the iPhone album displayed in file name sort order?
Thanks,
David

Focus Point (not free, no ads) will allow you to rename the files, add descriptions, and sort in a variety of ways. But it won't let you do anything in the main screen except browse your photo albums or camera roll, select one, and then you can do a search within that album or camera roll--and then if and only if the photo has a filename or description can you search for it. Bottom line: be sure to give your photos a proper file name and add a description.

How can I sort the Pictures in an Album by Name?

I am updated my Photo App on OSX 10.10.2. All my Albums are imported fine, but how I can sort the Pictures in one Album by name? I just found the option for the Albums.

Currently you can sort regular albums manually or by date; Smart Albums only by date; see How can you sort Album or Smart Album photos?

I want the ZEN to show the albums like in WINDOWS XP! how hard can this be!!!
Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi,
The Creative ZEN organizes songs according to the ID3tag of the music file, not by folders. If you want to arrange the music files in the order you want, please check and make sure that the music files are tagged properly. You may need a third-party tag editor to do this.

Sorting albums in photo

I do not see the option of sorting albums by date in the new photo

I do not see the option of sorting albums by date in the new photo
There isn't such an option. You can sort the albums manually or by title. As a workaround, make the date a part of the name of the album, for example "2015-04-Birthday album".

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.

Sort Artist and Sort Album tags don't update

Having spent a lot of time over the years getting the metadata in my iTunes library just right, I've noticed a frustrating problem when it comes to iTunes Match.
I make use of 'Sort Artist' and 'Sort Album Artist' tags so that my library is sorted by artist surname (eg. Lennon, John).
This always worked correctly when I syncronised my music via iTunes, but since switching over to iTunes Match this has become problematic.
When I initially signed up for iTunes Match, my Library moved over correctly - honouring the sort order tags that I had added. However, When I add NEW music to the library and subsequently change the sort tag, the change does not propegate to iTunes Match (Though it does appear correct in iTunes on my Mac). So the result is now a mixed sort order on my iOS devices - some by first name and some by second.
Under iOS 5.0 and iTunes 10 I used to be able to get around this with a little forethought - I would turn iTunes Match OFF on the Mac before adding any new songs, then I would edit the tags and then switch Match back on. This would rescan the library and add the new tracks to the cloud complete with correct metadata.
This workaround no longer works under iOS 6 and iTunes 11.
I have tried switching iTunes match off on my iPhone and restarting it. This does not work either.
Does anyone else have this issue or know of a way to 'force' the metadata to be updated?
Any help would be appreciated.

I also am finding it impossible to convince my iPhone that the Album Sort field exists. This is especially odd considering when I view my Home Shared music from my iPhone, it works exactly correctly. I have verified that the tags are being uploaded to iTunes Match by viewing the songs from another computer that has iTunes Match. So, for some reason, iOS 6 will not sort by the Album Sort field when using iTunes Match music.
Does anyone have any sort of fix or workaround for this problem? I've submitted Feedback to Apple.

Coverflow on iPod says Various Artists, not the album artist name

It looks fine on iTunes, with the proper artist name under the cover, but it changes to various artists when synced to the iPod. I set it on compilation, like I did when it worked about a month ago. I took off the compilation on Get Info and then I get the multiple covers again. Anybody else have this problem?

If they are all the SAME artist, you shouldn't need the Compilation checkmark. If they aren't the SAME artist, you would need it checked, and in Cover Flow, they will show up as "Various Artists" followed by the Album's Name.
If that doesn't help you, go to the Music section of iTunes, sort by Album Name, and select all the songs in an Album. Choose Get Info, and select pretty much EVERYTHING. If they are all the same Artist, fill it in and make sure it's checked, fill in the Album Name and check it, Genre's can be different, Volume adjustment can be different, the Year CAN be different, I believe.
Then, if the Artist is different for the songs, Compilation should be selected.
Then if you want, you can add the album artwork as well so they are all getting it from the same source at once. Then click ok, sync and try.
Then they should show up correctly.

Sorting albums in folders

With iPhoto 11 I use to create folder in the source left panel Album and that I drag the event into the folder. Right clicking on the folder name I can sort the folders, but the events inside the folders aren't sorted. Right click the event name into the folder shows "sort album" but it does anything.
Is there a way to sort events/album inside folders?

Terence,
thanks for the response. I now understand the design constraint.
But here where I ned further guidance.. Not quite there.
1. Create a NEW Album with the high level folder highlighted
2. Select the source images from the LIBRARY-->Photos (now all selected in yellow)
3. Drag and drop these (30+ ) photos into my new Album (ie France under my Holidays folder)
4. I see ALL the photos in the NEW ALBUM ('FRANCE') that were in the folder.
I can goto the ALBUM and select all unwanted and CUT them out from the folder, but my questions is
How do I create a NEW ALBUM and have nothing in it.. When I drop photos into this ALBUM, I see everything else from the folder level in it as well..
Is this due to what I have currently selected (ie the folder, when I create the NEW ALBUM)..??
Almost there !!
Regards

Sorting albums in Aperture

Hi,
I am trying to figure out why Aperture always starts sorting an album on "Manual" by default? Is it possibel to save another default for sorting? If so, where? I can get it to sort the main folders (Projects) by name and the sub-folders (Albums) by name, but the individual files/photos are always first sorted by "Manual". I can go into every folder and set it to sort by File name, but I would prefer not having to do that.....
Thanks,
Soren

"Sort Albums" not working in Iphoto 11

I see a lot of discussions about not being able to sort albums manually. I have not problem with that. When I control click on the name of the album, and hit "sort albums" noting happens. This used to work. I do not want to manually sort, since I have a ton of albums. HELP

I'm able to sort albums both way, inside folders and those out of folders. The feature exists. As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos, create a number of albums and albums in a folder and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it? I'm running iPhoto 9.4.3 on 10.8.4.

How do I sort by artist name on I tunes

how do I sort by artist name on I tunes

Sorry Chris - that doesn't work unless you want the albums all listed. What I found was so simple. In the view catagoryclick on "Show View Options" That brings up a whole table of things. At the top it says sort by and if you click on the arrow it brings up however you want it sorted - in my case by artist instead of by song.
Thanks anyway

Sort album by artist or album by artist/year & compliations behavior

I am running iTunes 10.4.1.10 on Windows 7 (64-bit)
I was wondering about the behavior of sort album by artist or album by artist/year. Instead of sorting solely by artist or artist/year, it seems to take into account album artist. Is this correct? Previous versions of iTunes (iTunes 7 and iTunes 8) used only the album and artist field not album artist. Is there anyway to force it to sort solely by artist and ignore album artist?
I am wondering because I currently use the album artist field to hold information about featured artists, featured instrumentalists, conductors, alternative band names, etc and reserve the artist field to describe the more generalized album artist. For me, this organizational scheme works better because my iPod does not feature offer any access to album artist. My current solutions are to roll back to iTunes 7 or 8 or change the sort album artist field for every entry which has information in the album artist field; neither of which are long term solutions.
Finally, I would like to group compliations (musical soundtracks, movie soundtracks, etc) where the artist might differ by album but still use the sort by album by artist to organize the rest of my music using List View. Is this possible?
I really wish iTunes provided more options for sorting music.
Thanks!

Album Artist has been supported since iTunes 7 (7.1 I think) and normally takes preference over Artist when it comes to grouping tracks in iTunes. As you say the iPod Classic doesn't work quite the same way. You'll find my extensive thoughts on fixing things at http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp You might find that different vlaues of Group Compilations and Use Album Artists restore the view you were familiar with, otherwise it might be time to rethink the strategy.
If it is simply a mattter of swapping Album Artist with Artist then I can (and will) rustle up a script for that... It will end up on the list at http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/scripts.asp shortly. More complex rearrangements of properties are also possibe once you know what you want to achieve.

Sorting Albums

When sorting albums by a particular artist in a playlist, I would sort them by date and then by rating(stars). This was the only way I could have the albums listed in the order they were released, especially when there are more than one in any particular year. For example, 1964 (*), 1964 (**) etc. I have found in iTunes 11, that the sort by rating is hit and miss at best. I have also found that albums will not sort by date sometimes, I have had a few cases where an album released in 1970 will appear after albums released in 1971 or 1972 no matter what I do, I have even deleted an album and re-entered it, to no avail. Any thoughts?? Thanks

Hey, u could try renaming your artists by last name first before you import them.
