Sort by title

I have google this question, but mostly found old questions and answers. Sure in 2014 you can sort photos by title?
I am doing a 365 challenge, and am naming my photos as Day 001 - Some Title, Day 002 - Other Title, etc. I keep the photos on 500px, which generates a random file name (using the 500px plugin to sync to lightroom). So the title only goes in the Title field. But when I look in my 500px/365 collection things are out of order, and there doesn't seem to be any way to sort by 'Title'.
This seems like such a trivial problem for a photo organization tool, I must be missing something....

I don't think there is any way to sort by title without a plugin or script.
You can sort a collection by title using a free script I wrote:
'Order Photos in Collection' ("Title.." preset)
available here:
robcole.com - MiscLrScripts
There are other options if you don't actually need sorting so much as.. - please let me/us know if the script does not suffice.
PS - the sort options in Lr are indeed lean, and there have been some requests to fatten it up, you may look here:

Photo sort in an event. Why, once in an event, view, sort, by title, is the event not saved that way.

Hi,
Have driven myself bonkers trying to sort this out. I'm scanning old pix, their creation date will be the date they are scanned. I put them into an event and needless to say they are all out of order. No probs, once in the event you are given the option to sort by date, title etc. So having put them in already numbered I use the sort by title. It works until you leave iphoto, when you return they are out of order, it seems to default to Date. So, I use the batch adjust to adjust date/time and it works but only seems to work if the whole of the event is done this way.
We recently celebrated our 60th B'day, pix taken on 4 different cameras, one with an incorrect date time setting have proved very difficult to sort. Despite altering the date time from the poorly set camera to achieve correct time order it will not get into order. Do you have to change every pix time in an event to get proper results? We like the way events are shown (pic) rather than the list with Albums. Also our kids bought us an Apple TV which we really like and for us ol' Duffers the pix presentation of the events is for us far more pleasing. I've read several similar threads here and it would appear I'm barking up the wrong tree as, if I've read it correctly events are always going to default to Date. Any help much appreciated.... thanks Victa

In iPhoto '11 you set the event sort under the event meno ==> sort events. Unless you have a problem it will stay thay way until you change it either using the sort events command or changing it to manual by manually moving an event (which I have accidentally done from time to time requiring me to reset my desired sort)
Your question 2 is not clear. As noted events are sorted by the oldest photo in the event
You next comment makes no sense at all
As to telling Apple how to implement their software, this is certainly not the place to do that. This is strictly a user to user forum and Apple is not here. Frankly as a consumer you need to pick products you like and use them. Do you try to tell Sony what they should do with their TVs? GM what to do with cars? Etc. if you like the product use it. Millions do and as a result of their decisions Apple is the largest company ever. If you don't like the product then don't use it. If you really are so much smarter than Apple then start your own company and put them out if business with your brilliant products

Iphoto sort by title problem

I am having an issue with iphoto 09' sort by title. Hopefully my explanation make sense. The titles of the photos are Thanksgiving 1, Thanksgiving 2, Thanksgiving 3 and on in the same manner. What is strange is that it is sorting them in the following order: Thanksgiving 1, Thanksgiving 10, Thanksgiving 11, 12, ......19, then to Thanksgiving 2, Thanksgiving 20, 21, 22,.....29, Thanksgiving 30 etc. You would think it would sort them in the same way we count, but for some reason it isn't. Any ideas for how I can fix this sorting problem?
Thanks!

Use leading zeros: 001, 002, 003... 010, 011 etc.
Regards
TD

Sort by title will not stick

I keep putting 'sort by title' in the view dropdown & it keeps changing.
Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks for the quick reply.Good question I usually just load the pics by dragging them on & iphoto seems to decide,sometimes event & sometime photo.I just go with whatever comes up. I guess I will now see if it is the same in both settings but should it not just do what it is told regardless,it did before I updated

Can't sort song titles by clicking on title field column in MediaSource or Nomad explo

I am currently using Creative MediaSource application ver 2.02.06 for my Nomad Jukebox Zen Extra model DAP-HD00, 40 Gig. I currently upgraded to latest Nomad Explorer version 3.0.0 from prior version 3.00.8 and upgraded my driver from Ver .23.0 to Ver .30.03 both the latest for this player.
I am working from an Win XP SP2, Pent 4, 3 Ghz CPU, Gig RAM memory environment.
Has anyone of you run into this same/similar problem?
With my curremt version of "Creative MediaSource" S/W, clicking on the Title, artist column headingss or any other column does not sort alphabetically as should be the case particularly my titles when I am in the Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra "organizer" view. Nothing happens when I click on these column headings. Is this a Creative MediaSource application problem that can be fixed with upgrading to a higher version of S/W?
I am debating whether the latest upgrade to "Creative MediaSource" ver 2.03.29 is merited for the following reasons:
Its a huge download (Don?t have DSL because typically I don?t have needs to download anything that huge)</LI>
I already updated to the latest driver Ver .30.03 and the latest firmware Ver .20.08 and latest Nomad explorer Ver 3.0.0.</LI>
I noticed that the alphabetical sorting of titles did not work when I title clicked within the latest upgraded Nomad Explorer application which gives me little confidence that upgrading to the Creative MedoaSource application (Ver 2.03.29) will do anything for this problem.
Can anybody out there provide me with any helpful comments?
Thanks ahead of time to all.

Noticed the same thing. Kinda annoying, yeah.

HT5824 I changed my notes to sort by title on my mac but after 24 hours it has not reset on my iPhone or iPad. I have done everything the trouble shooter told me to do. Now what?

As far as I know, iCloud doesn't sync the sort order.

Sort by title does not work as it should

9.5.1 iphoto is not sorting by title correctly - I have given my photos tiltles which start with the year the photo was taken -not scanned in!!
the previous version of iPhoto got it right - the latest version insists that 2006 comes after 2012 - I never realized this before :-)

Are you using "View > Sort Photos > By Title"? Is the second option set to "ascending" or "descending"?

IPhoto does NOT sort 'By title'. Please advise

In the left pane Library-Photo view is selected.
In the menu "View->Sort Photos->By Title" is selected.
However, iPhoto sorts photos by date, not by title.
Any advise?
I use 10.8 OS and 9.3.2 iPhoto.

@Old Toad,
I am already sorting Events by Title unter 'Events' section. I wanted to have events as it as a list, not as thumbnails.
That is why I was trying to sort them in 'Photos' section, where they are shown as Text.
I have many events. And I wanted to structure them well, if i were to switch to iPhoto. As I see now, iPhoto does not have many useful library management features. So I am going to stick to Lightroom and Bridge (though I don't need so much editing power).
@Terence Devlin,
I checked Aperture on my friend's computer (it *****, that apple is not giving trial versions).
It does not offer exactly what I was looking for.
But the Projects (aka 'Events' in iPhoto) can be sorted and put in folders (in the left panel). And it is displayed as a list (not thumbnails). This can't be done with iPhoto.
Morover, the Aperture has a much better search by keywords selection than iPhoto.
To pay 80 USD to try using Aperture. I really don't know. If there were a trial available....
I better stick to what I know works - Lightroom and Bridge.

Sort column title does not stay hilighted

This problem started with iTunes 8.0.2. As before, the column title is hilighted when you click on it to sort and remains hilighted when you go in another playlist and get back. For some columns like "Album for sort", the hilighted title changes when getting back to the playlist for "Album" (or Album by year or Album by Artist), but the sort itself seems to remain OK.

Are you using "View > Sort Photos > By Title"? Is the second option set to "ascending" or "descending"?

In iPhoto if I select View, then Sort Photos by title, how do I stop it reverting to sorting by date when I close iPhoto and re-open it later?

In iPhoto if I select View, then Sort Photos by title, how do I stop it reverting to sorting by date when I close iPhoto and re-open it later?

In what mode, Events, Photos or in an Album, are you when you select View ➙ Sort ➙ By Title?
As a first fix attempt try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Albums are not sorted properly by their titles

I'm using itunes for windows (the latest version).
And I have a problem with album sorting - they're not being properly sorted by their titles.
As you can see it from above, I'm grouping music by genres and inside one genre (in this case, piano sonata), I want to sort them with their titles.
I chose the option which says it sorts by title, but as you can see it's not working properly.
Chopin (C) - Schumann (S) - Liszt (L) - Barber (B)...
Actually most of albums are sorted correctly, but only some of the albums seem to be put on the wrong places.
Is this problem known and is there way to fix this?
It's not a critical problem but it's quite annoying for me...
If there's a way please let me know.
Thank you!

HJ Lee,
For one of the problem tracks, right-click, Get Info and look at the Sorting tab. There may be information there that is overriding the main tags.
If so, you can edit it in that tab.

Book: can I sort the photos by title not by date

Creating a book in iPhoto is now much cumbersome. In the past, I could arrange the photos in an album and when I created the book from the album, the photos were sorted according to their order in the album. Now, the photos are sorted by date. How can I change the sort to 'title' and not 'date' in the list of photos in the book?
Lance

You can't - you can select the photos in the album and use the batch change date time command wth a small increment to make the time sequence match your order

How do I sort all of my photos alphabetically by title?

I need to be able to sort my photos by title. This is critical to my business. I can't find a way to do that. It appears that Photos automatically sorts by date which is problematical when I have 10,000 photos.
I want to be able to sort by:
title
date
rating
keyword
location
All of those, not just one or two or those sorting options.
I guess it is too much to ask to have second level options for sorting as well; ie. alphabetically by title and then within that by date (or rating).

Photos doesn't offer those sorting options. In nearly all modes photos can only be sorted by Date, either Date Added or EXIF Capture Date. In albums you can sort by date or manually.
The only time I've found the sort by title available is in a folder of albums and it only applies to the sorting of the albums.
I would go back to iPhoto for now. Add keywords to help in identifying photos as well as titles and descriptions. Then when iPhoto isn't compatible with the system anymore you can migrate to Photos and have the keywords and description to help search and arrange in groups in albums.
If your photos are critical to your business I'd look into one of the professional DAM (digital asset management) apps that can sort by any feature you can think of. One such app is Media Pro 1. I use it as my primary DAM and iPhoto for special projects like books, cards, calendars, slideshows.
You can learn about other DAM apps at The DAM Forum.
