Sort by name problem

For some reason Itunes 8 is not sorting numbers in names correctly, it sorts as
1,10,11,12,13,14,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
i dont know why but for some reason it always puts teens between 1 and 2.

Nevermind, figured it out, have to have the numbers set as 01,02,03, and so on to get them to sort before 10,11,12.

ITunes 11: In the store, I can no longer sort by name/artist/album

I can no longer sort by name or artist or album when I'm in the store with iTunes 11. Yes, I discovered the View Options in the Menu Bar. By when I select it nothing opens. Same for Command-J. It doesn't do anything either. I've tried hitting Command-J repeatedly, but nothing.
The fact is, it seems utterly stupid to have this work differently than when you're in your library---by simply hitting name/artist or album in the bar at the top of the list. Having to sort lists in the Store via a completely different method than the lists in one's library is totally counter-intuitive.
But back to my problem: The View Options won't open for me. Anybody know how to fix this?
I've got a lot of music I wish to buy, but I need different methods of sorting, otherwise it'll be a nightmare trying to keep track of things.
Thanks,
Doug

I have the same exact problem. I am using a Windows computer running Windows 7. I was able to see them prior to the installation of 10.4. I have this problem on 2 computers and have a hard time believing that no one else is having this problem

Could anybody help me sort out the problem, Please?

i might guess that you have j2sdk1.4.0\jre\bin on your PATH, but not j2sdk1.4.0\bin ...

When I select my iPod touch in iTunes the buttons are inactive when I try to sort by name, artist etc. Also about half of the links under 'file' etc are not active.

Elements 11 Sort By Name does not always sort by name

If I choose Sort By: Name, MOST of the images are sorted properly by filename, but some are not.
All my files are named YYYYMMDD####, but yet (for instance) in this view right now I have three files that start with 20150317 that are sorting BEFORE pictures with filenames 20150101... Then everything goes sequentially as expected, right through the place in the sequence where these pictures SHOULD be.
At the end of the sort I have similar problems. If the sequence ends with (say) 20140414...., then there will also be pictures with filenames like 20150317 AFTER that.
This makes no sense. The system simply cannot be actually sorting by filename and having this result. It's got to be using some metadata of some sort, not filename.
I've looked at the advanced properties/metadata and there does not appear to be any difference between files that properly sort and those that show up out of sequence.
What's the deal?

Just to update this in case someone else is having a similar problem.
First, I mis-spoke. I'm on 12, not 11.
With that, I do have all the right menu choices to "sort by name", however when I did that, it did not correct the sort order. A very small fraction of what I had in the catalog (perhaps 1%) persisted in sorting by some unknown criteria. Viewing the meta data or properties of the files did not show any differences between the files that were sorting "out of sequence" and those that were.
At one point, thinking something had corrupted the catalog (I have a lot of files, who knows..) I "repaired" and then "optimized" the catalog. No change.
Ultimately what I did was (just to "try something") was delete the catalog entry for those files (not the files themselves) and then re-scan that folder. Elements Organizer "found" the files again and imported them into the catalog. After that, they now show up properly, sorted by filename, in the thumbnail view (by folder).
So.. whatever it was, it was solved in this way. We'll see if it now recurs.
Thanks!

I can't get Sort By Name to work on the Bookmarks Menu. How do you sort your folders alphabetically?

I have my bookmarks sorted in folders. When I create a new folder it goes to the end of the list. I have tried going into Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks, right click on Bookmarks Menu and Sort By Name but nothing happens. I have to manually move the newly created folder.

Open the Bookmarks Manager. Open the folder branch tree. On this tree,
select the folder you want with a right click.

I have no problem sorting an individual folder by name, I can't get the list of folders to sort. As you can see by the attached images, several folders I've added are at the bottom of the folder list and even after I right click on Bookmark Menu/Sort By Name, they don't alphabetize.

About 'Sort Artist' name

Hi
i am trying to find out,
as some of my songs' "sort artist" is grey in color (instead of black),
and if the "sort artist" content word is grey in color, it will automatically sort songs with same ARTIST name to have the same "sort artist" name.
EG: if the ARTIST name is The Pussycat Dolls, and the "sort artist" name is Pussycat Dolls (grey in color instead of black), all songs ARTIST name with 'The Pussycat Dolls' will automatically change the "sort artist" name to Pussycat Dolls.
EG: if the ARTIST name is The Pussycat Dolls, and the "sort artist" name is Pussycat Dolls (black in color), all songs ARTIST name with 'The Pussycat Dolls' will not automatically change the "sort artist" name to Pussycat Dolls.
May I know how to set the "sort artist" name to become grey color so that it will automatically change the "sort artist" name for all ARTIST with the same name?
Anyone's soonest help will be appreciated.
Thank you
Grace Tang

Sort by name apple mail

My Mail is always sorted by date, but before, i could click on a mail, then click sort by name, to find another mail from the same person.
Now when i click on sort by name, the first email dissappeers and i have to scroll threw my 10.000 mails to get to the letter from the persons name..
As before it would stick with the mail i clicked on.

[This is a C&P from Leopard days but the problem has started for me in Yosemite]
Not sure if it is me or this is just the way Apple Mail works.
Logic would assume that if you select a message in Apple Mail and that message is highlighted, not opened, and you click the From column so you can sort by that column Apple Mail would make sure that, when it is sorted, the highlighted message would still be in your view. I can get this to work sometimes and other times it does not, so it is starting to bother me.
Is there something that I am missing...some step...or is this just the way it works, sometimes?
Thanks.

Finder unable to sort file name in Column mode

Hi Guys,
About 2 weeks ago suddenly Finder are unable to sort files in alphabetical order in Column mode.
About the same time when my external HDD died (don't know whether this has any effect).
Sorting by name works fine in icon only mode, but whenever I switch to Column mode its completely disorganized.
And when I tried in coverflow mode its alphabetical but in inverted mode (Z to A).
I tried verifying disk permission and repairing it to no effect.
Any clues on how to fix this?
Thanks,
Jeff

Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4

Frustrating problem: Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4. What happens is this. When I am in PS CS4 or CS3 and run the following script it runs fine. When I am in Bridge and go to tools/photoshop/batch and run the same script it runs until it wants interaction with preference.rulerunits. How do I get it to quit doing this so I can run in batch mode? Any help is appreciated. HLower
Script follows:
// this script is another variation of the script addTimeStamp.js that is installed with PS7
//Check if a document is open
if ( documents.length > 0 )
var originalRulerUnits = preferences.rulerUnits;
preferences.rulerUnits = Units.INCHES;
try
var docRef = activeDocument;
// Create a text layer at the front
var myLayerRef = docRef.artLayers.add();
myLayerRef.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
myLayerRef.name = "Filename";
var myTextRef = myLayerRef.textItem;
//Set your parameters below this line
//If you wish to show the file extension, change the n to y in the line below, if not use n.
var ShowExtension = "n";
// Insert any text to appear before the filename, such as your name and copyright info between the quotes.
//If you do not want extra text, delete between the quotes (but leave the quotes in).
var TextBefore = "Lower© ";
// Insert any text to appear after the filename between the quotes.
//If you do not want extra text, delete between the quotes (but leave the quotes in).

myTextRef.color = newColor;
// Set the position of the text - percentages from left first, then from top.
myTextRef.position = new Array( 10, 99);
// Set the Blend Mode of the Text Layer. The name must be in CAPITALS - ie change NORMAL to DIFFERENCE.
myLayerRef.blendMode = BlendMode.NORMAL;
// select opacity in percentage
myLayerRef.opacity = 100;
// The following code strips the extension and writes tha text layer. fname = file name only

In Bookmarks, when I right click on a bookmark "SORT BY NAME" is no longer there. how do I get it back?

In Bookmarks I used to be able to right click on a bookmark and in a menu box I could click on, SORT BY NAME, sort by name is no longer in the right click menu. I don't want to have to drag to sort bookmarks as I have too many. How do I get "SORT BY NAME" back in the right click menu in Bookmarks? Thanks, HT

In Firefox the option to sort bookmarks is only available for folders and not for individual bookmarks.
Easiest to sort by name is to do that in the left pane of the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) and right-click the folder that you want to sort.

Album 'sort by name'

I just purchased Elements 10 and am disappointed that it is not possible to 'sort by name' in the Album. This is a basic fundamental option in all OS so why not in Elements 10?
John

Albums will usually respect file names (alphabetical order) if you change from date sort.
You can also drag to arrange and the photos will retain their fixed (numbered) positions.

Apple Senior tech lady deleted all my external drive data while sorting out other problem. How can I restore all my photos , music etc back to my Mac Pro?(I am so scared, I haven't connected to sync! Please help)

Apple Senior tech lady deleted all my external drive data while sorting out other problem. How can I restore all my photos , music etc back to my Mac Pro?(I am so scared, I haven't connected iPhone to sync! Please help)

It was tele tech. I couldn't open my Page Numbers etc. Frist tech chat idiot - following dumping few things in bin, asked me yo upgrade to Yosemite. But the problem still persists. This morning I was asked to do it via telephone and like yesterday, after wasting 20 min, I was put to this apparent Tech Queen ( my foot!). She eventually decided to reinstall Yosemite asked me to connect my external drive while I connected to her. She was moving cursor asking me to move files and delete and I followed her like a dummy. It took 3/4 hours and she called me 3 times once the lengthy process was completed. I suspected from the beginng for the fact that why should be asking me to click all my backup from the very beginning! Eventually she said I deleted... Or someone else or may be my children ! It was a blatant lie. I run my small business from home and I was simply staying in front of the Mac whole day! Children were at school. Then she said I must have used another computer! I only have laptop and the iPad. I will talk to their manager first thing in the morning. In the mean time please let me know as to how can I transfer photos, music etc back to my laptop from my Iphone and IPad .? I am will connect to laptop as I am worried the new BLANK iPhoto may supersede iphone/iPad stuff? Will it? Please let me know. I am not a very tech savvy person. My son who could help me, is in Manchester Uni and Inam in London.

Outlook sort by name - quicktype / searching by name using keyboard doesn't work right

I'm not sure how to best explain this. In Outlook first you sort by name, and then you quickly type the first few letters of the person's name.
In Outlook 2010, this would cause it to go to the right person. For example if I type M-A-R it would go to Mark
However in Outlook 2013 when I type M-A-R rapidly, it goes to the R's in the alphabet.
Anyone else had this experience and have a suggestion on how to do anything about it?

Hi,
Could you give us more exact information? Did you refer to sort by "TO" or "From"?
In Outlook 2013, on “Mai” tab, under "search box" section, there is no "By Name" option in the sort options.
Please check and rebuild the index:
Click start and in the search box type "Index". Go into the Indexing Options applet and Click "Modify". When the Indexed Locations dialog comes up, make sure " Microsoft Outlook" is checked.
If the issue still persists, you can rebuild the index for test.
Best regards,
Karen Hu

How do I alphabetize my bookmarks. "Sort by Name" option only sorts general bookmark folders, not actual bookmarks.

I want to have my bookmarks displayed alphabetically but the "Sort by Name" option under "Organize" only applies to folders in the "Library". How do I just sort my list of bookmarks as I can easily do with IE?
