Sort files by date before 1950

I wonder if anyone tried to sort old pictures by 'date created', prior to 1950. Bridge cs3 just ignores the date and will not sort.
When managing old pictures from the 40's and earlier, it is just impossible to do that with Bridge.
Any clue or reaason why this 1950 wall?
Thanks,

Here is a link on "date created" that gives some discussion on subject. Not sure it will answer your question but may give you some additional info on dates and sorting.

Sort file by date

hi guys, i have a problem with sorting my files here. this is what my code look like. but i could sort it
if any one knows please help me
          for ( count = 0; count < dirList.length; count++ )
          //return the character after the ('.')
          String fileName = dirList[count].getName();
          int index = fileName.lastIndexOf('.');
          //sorting the file
          long[] date = new long[dirList.length];
          for ( int i = 0; i < dirList.length; i++ )
               date[i] = dirList.lastModified();
          for ( int j = 0; j < dirList.length; j++ )
//i have a problem here...how do I sort these files by their date
          if (date[i].equalsTo(dirList[count]) );
               //Arrays.sort(dirList);
          }//end of the loop of sort
          }//end for innerloop for date
                    if ( index >= 0 )
                         newString = fileName.substring(index, fileName.length());
                    out.print(""); //debug
                         if ( newString.equalsIgnoreCase( ".txt"))
                              out.println("<a href='http://10.0.0.16" + dirList[count].getPath().substring(9) + "'target='right'>" + fileName + "</a><br>");
                         }// end if newstring;
               }//end if index
          }//end for
thank so much for your help.

if i've understood your question correctly, you have an array of File objects, and you want to sort them according to their "last modified" times. here's how you can do that, in chronological order:Comparator fileByLastModified = new java.util.Comparator() {
public int compare( Object o1, Object o2 ) {
    java.io.File f1 = (java.io.File) o1;
    java.io.File f2 = (java.io.File) o2;
    long time1 = f1.lastModified();
    long time2 = f2.lastModified();
    if ( time1 < time2 ) {
      return -1;
    if ( time1 > time2 ) {
      return 1;
    return 0;
Arrays.sort( dirList, fileByLastModified );

JFileChooser: Sort files by Date

Hi, all
I watched that a JFileChooser has not a listener registered on the Table-Header(when the details-View is selected) to sort files by their attributes (name or date). Is there an extension of JFileChooser whish does it?
Please post me any useful link or whatever
Thanks, Thanasis

Hmm, not entirely straightforward according to http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=57&thread=449111

Sort files in Finder Column View?

Like to sort files by date in column view, is this possible? I know you can do it in List view, but can't seem to do this in column view. It would have to be folder specific, as the upper level (which are folders of folders) should be alphabetical, then the folder with files I'd like to sort by date created. Now, all are presented in alphabetical order, and then I have to scroll down to get to them.
Thanks!

Nope, can't be done in Finder column view - alphabetical is the only option.

Is Bridge supposed to sort raw files by date modified? Not on my systems.

I have just installed photoshop/bridge cs5 on two windows 7 systems, home premium 64 bit, one an i3 chip and the other an i7 chip. I was formerly using cs3.
I see that Bridge is not sorting my raw files by date modified like it did before. It sorts jpg files okay. I noticed that the xmp files associated with the raw files, when I hover over them in Windows Explorer show the correct modified date but the thumbnail icon shows only creation date, which I assume is as it shou ld be. Why doesn't Bridge CS5 sort raw files by date modified as it did in CS3? CS3 must have referred to the xmp file modified date to use for sorting, I would think.
I should also mention that the metadata file does not show the correct date modified, but gives the same date as the creation date. Also the thumbnails for raw images that have been modified correctly show the icon that indicates it was modified.
Also, I see that when you hover over a thumbnail in Bridge CS5 nothing is revealed about the file. In CS3 Bridge hovering over a thumbnail showed several pieces of data about the file including anything in the file info.
Is this just how Bridge CS5 works or have I missed a setting somewhere in Bridge or Windows?

Curt, thanks for your response. The tool tips
was not checked and did result in "hovering"
working. I'm not sure why that's called tool tips, but okay.
I have just installed the software in the last
few days. I almost immediately got an update
notice and installed the update. I thought I was
up to date. Then, just a while ago I got another
update notice. After installing it the sorting
now works. Thanks much. Problems seem to be solved.

File adapter modules : Access to file data before content conversion

I have a file sender channel for which content conversion in applied. The incoming file has data in comma separated values format.
e.g.
102366,Amol Joshi,DEPT1
107752,XYZ PQR,DEPT2
I want to access the the actual data in the file before content conversion takes place. Is it possible to access this data inside the adaper module? I tried creating an adapter module and put it before CallSAPAdapter,it still gets the XML after content conversion as the input data to the module.
Any pointers?

Hi Amol,
I dont know if it is the right approach.
But if u r not able to meet ur requirement u can do one work around.
Use Message Transformation Bean to convert it once again in to CSV (flat file structure) and then proceed with ur module.
There should be a better way than this.
Hope we could find a better solution in the forum.

Why is Firefox suddenly sorting windows Files by Date?

I may have changed a setting without knowing with some keystroke command, but suddenly yesterday Firefox started sorting my files in Windows (when I go to upload a file) by date modified. I tell it to sort by name but each time I go back it has defaulted to sorting by date again. This is really annoying.

Cannot sort files in bridge cs4

Hi
As you know it, since Windows XP xp2, the explorer sorts the files this way :
1, 002, 03, 000004...
For getting back the "right" alphabetical way, you can change the registry. So did I.
Now in the explorer, I get the files sorted like this :
000004, 002, 03, 1
Well
but in adobe bridge CS4, nothing changes. the files are sorted : 1, 002, 03, 000004...
Is there a way to have the files sorted like in explorer ?
thanks for your replies
(Sorry for my bad english)

Yes it can be done but it's very messy!
The following script should do the job BUT it does require you select Manual sort and move any document first! This makes sure that a hidden file .BridgeSort is created in the folder. This file is re-created into the correct order then a new window is opened and the old window closed. This is because Bridge only reads this file when it opens.
Using ExtendScript Toolkit copy and paste the code into a new window, start Bridge - Edit - Preferences - Startup Scripts, click the "Reveal" button. This will open the folder that the script should be placed. Once that has been done close and restart Bridge and accept the new script. You will now have a new menu item "AlphaSort"
#target bridge
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
var newMenuSort = new MenuElement( "menu", "Alpha Sort", "after Help", "mySortData" );
var newSortCommand = new MenuElement( "command", "Alpha Sort", "at the end of mySortData" , "xxxx" );
newSortCommand.onSelect = function () {
   alphaSort();
function alphaSort(){
var file = new File(app.document.presentationPath +"/.BridgeSort");
if(!file.exists){
    alert("Please select manual sort and move one document before running this script!");
    return;
file.hidden=false;
file.open('r');
var data = file.read();
file.close();
data = data.split('\n');
var Items=[];
for (var a in data){
    if(data[a].match(/item/g)) Items.push(data[a]);
app.document.sorts = [{ name:"file-size",type:"dimensions", reverse:false }];
Items = Items.sort();
try{
file.remove();
file.open("w", "TEXT", "????");
}catch(e){alert(e+" - "+e.line);}
$.os.search(/windows/i) != -1 ? file.lineFeed = 'windows' : file.lineFeed = 'macintosh';
file.writeln("<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>");
file.writeln("<dirinfo>");
file.writeln("<files>");
for(var s in Items){
    file.writeln(Items[s]);
file.writeln("</files>");
file.writeln("</dirinfo>");
file.close();
file.hidden=true;
app.document.sorts = [{ name:"user",type:"date", reverse:false }];
app.document.chooseMenuItem("mondo/command/new");
app.documents[0].close();

HT2905 Most all of my 1700 songs have been duplicated in iTunes. I have downloaded the instructions how to delete the duplicates but it says "sort by the date you added" and i have no column that says that. I am running windows xp.

Most all of my 1700 songs have been duplicated in iTunes. I have downloaded the instructions how to delete the duplicates but it says "sort by the date you added" and i have no column that says that. I am running windows xp.

Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

How can I sort pictures by date and than by time stamp ?

The approx. 2.000 pictures was taken by two cameras.
Both cameras intern date and time where adjusted before the for session.
It seems that Aperture 3.3.1 can´t manage it, can it?
In the browser there is only one common field for date and time.
I shoot the picture with two Canon 5D Mark II and Mark-III in JPG and RAW mode.
The file name only is totally confusing for sorting.
Like IMG_0008, _MG_0022 for Mark-II
and
_L2A8410 for Mark-III.

Hi,
I am not sure, which sort order you want to achieve? If you sort by the date field, the images will be sorted chronologically, ascending or descending, according to date and time - isn't what what you want?
Can it be that you have a time zone problem? Compare the dates on the images that should be sorted side by side.
Unless you specify "Camera Time" and "Actual Time" on import, Aperture will assume that the camera time has been your current system time.
Canon 5D Mark II and Mark-III
And unfortunately, both your cameras are exactly the two cameras that I know, where the time zone correction in Aperture is buggy and does not have much effect. I cannot find the discussion again right now, but look for a thread by Frank Caggiano on time zone correction.

Léonie

Sort by Release Date option?

I don't know why an option to sort by "release date" is absent from iTunes. It seems like an obvious way to layout/view music. There isn't even an option to enter the "Release Date"(only "Year") on music files.
I use the pattern "Year/Month/Date - Album Name" with in the "Album Sort Order" field to help iTunes sort my Albums by release date. But, within the "Grid View", it doesn't seem to be possible to sort by "album"(which would use the "sort album" field) to see all the albums by release date.
It just seems like such a basic thing to be added to such a music application.
It seem like there are a lot of these "little" details which iTunes never seems to add. For example: the ability for iTunes to read and write multiple Genres(& subgenre) entries with in a MP3 IDtag.
I just don't understand how the devs can neglect such options, which would be valuable for anyone who likes to keep there music properly labelled.
I wish they would forget silly ideas like PING, and concentrate on trying to make iTunes a deep music browser and management tool, like it should be.
That's the end of my rant.

I was talking about "Grid View". I cannot sort my albums by release date within "Grid View".
But yes, you are correct. Although, in my experience, the issue with using the "Release Date" field is that iTunes seems unable to read some dates correctly.
For example; I have Bob Dylans album "Times They Are A Changin'", and if I enter the release date(using a 3rd party program because you can't edit the "ReleaseTime" field in iTunes), using the correct format, "1964-01-13" iTunes displays this as "Thu 01/01/70". I know this is the correct format because I can enter a newer date and it will display correctly.
So it seems iTunes doesn't recognise anything before that date.

Sort by EXIF Date/Time

Would be nice to be able to srt by EXIF Date Time Original or EXIF Date Time Digitized. The existing file based Date Time Create or Date Time Modified may not be accurate. Some of our events (like a wedding) have photographs taken from a number of photographers and some of those files have been copied at some point before getting to editing, so the file Date Time Created is no longer correct. The file Date Time Modified sometimes works for us, but may not be reliable either. Right now we have a program that copies the file Date Time Modifies to the file Date Time Created, which usually works ok. Using the EXIF data would let us sort all of the aggregated shots by their original create date so that they are in the proper shoot sequence, without having to deal with all of this.

Does anyone know how to sort files in bridge( or any other program0by time created?

SORT BY CREATION DATE failure

HI,
I've got 11K photos in a folder. When I open the folder I see all the photos. All the photos have the correct creation date imbedded in the RAW file as indicated by the GET INFO pop up. In spite of this the View>Sort by> Creation Date request is not resulting in the photos getting sorted correctly with oldest first and most recently taken last. Any idea what is going on here? It has worked before correctly. Thanks.

There is a sort by "capture time", which I use also. There are also some problems with it, but it works well enough for my needs.
One of the other users of this forum, Bogdan, explained in an earlier thread that one reason that LR doesn't recognize some dates is that those dates were created by software that doesn't form them according to proper standards.
Do a forum search on "Exifer" for more commentary and suggested remedies.
Best of Luck!

Sorting file content of a huge file and less RAM

Hi,
I want to sort the content of a big file. In a file each line ended by \n is one record. I want to sort the lines alphabetically.
for eg.
The file test.txt contains the following data
pqr xyz \n
abc xyz \n
The sorted file should contain
abc xyz \n
pqr xyz \nand also the file size is very big around 20GB. and RAM is very less so it is not even possible to load such a huge file in memory.
How to solve the above problem? Can anyone suggest me the good solution?
Thanks

Getting rid of the file in favor of a database sounds pretty good to me.Have you any clue how much time it will take to insert 20 GB into a relation database?
I find szgy's solution sutaible for me
but I think before merging (step 5) the data in
separate files (compare set of two files) should be
compared and should be written to a new file. Then
these resultant files should be compared again tili
it becomes a single file.you can merge all the files at once to using a heap, hence avoiding unnecessary file-writes.
>
The above step is required since I'm reading data
from a file. I'll be taking the first few lines and
sorting them and writing into new file. Here each
file is sorted. but if you merge all the sorted files
as it is the resultant file will not have sorted data
since there was no comparision.
Now I'll have to think upon sorting algorithms and
merging of files after comparing data between two
filesYou can email me at [email protected] to get a full working code that does all this for integers, including merging the results with help of a heap.
For 10000000 (400 MB) it takes (in ms):
other read write sort
2579 16655 35407 37422
Total is 80 sek, which is fairly ok for 400 MB of data I think (5 MB/sek) including reads and writes.
