Sort order changes from ios photos to iphoto

My photos in an album in the the ios Photo app are in a particular order.  When accessed fro iPhoto, the order is completely different.  How can I mantain the original order?

I also have have the same issue and have been on the phone with Apple Care....not much help I'm afraid although I do believe something is broken and requires a fix. Here is what I have found (all software up to date and latest OS BTW)....I have sorted all my pictures by Date, if I want to add a straggler I just alter the original date and all is well within the event.  I then "batch change" the event to the tile and event name. So the pictures in the event are named " Holiday 2012  1-xxx.  Again, all is well in iPhoto but when sent to an iPad or Apple TV the sort is as siwilson mentioned above.  I just discovered a temp work around for events with less than 1000 pictures, if I sort by Title I can get them to show correctly on the ATV and iPad. Now what was/is interesting is somethimes they would sort correct and sometimes not.  It turns out that if you sort the event by Title and quit iPhoto and reopen it....it has reverted back to sort by Date. It does that everytime. So what I do is turn home sharing off in iTunes (forces it to look at the photos again), open an iPhoto event and sort by Title.  Then I turn home sharing on in iTunes (leaving iPhoto open) and sync my iPad.  If I want ot stream photos to my ATV I must leave iPhoto open so the sort remains as I set it. If I want to retain the correct sort this is what I need to do each time. So this is a bandage for me until they fix things.  One final about pictures over 1000.....it sorts them as mentioned above with another twist, numbering goes 0001, 1000, 1001, 1002 etc.  @#$% why can't they just sort the way iPhoto presents them?

    How to get same order of appearance of photos in Iphoto album and album shown to IOS devices after sharing?

    Hello Leonie!
    I use Iphoto sharing with my family on their ios devises.  And it works. 
    The only problem is that, now, I try to organize the photos in a meaningful way (not chronologically) before Iphoto Sharing (Icloud)
    But on the ios devices the photos is arranged chronologically.
    Is there a solution?

  • IPhoto sort order changes on iPad/iPhone when photos are edited

    I have been having issues getting photos to display in the correct order on my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV. When I go into an event I want the first photo taken to be at the top and the last at the bottom. I sort by date so that photos taken on different cameras at the same event appear in chronological order and this works very well in iPhoto on my Mac. There is a problem when I sync to my devices though. Sometimes the order on my devices is the same as in iPhoto on my Mac and other times it is not. A recent software update seems to have cured the major issue, but created another. After some experimentation I have discovered that editing a photo changes its position in the sort, even if the adjustment has nothing to do with the date.
    I picked a sample event and adjusted the contrast of the first photo. There was no change to sort order on the Mac. I hit sync in iTunes and the photo now displays last on my iPhone. Go back into iPhoto, click on "Revert to Original", sync iTunes again and the photo now displays first again. Seems like a bug to me.

  • Photo order changed with iOS 5

    I have had roughly 6000 photos stored on my iPhone and iPad, which have always sorted by date picture taken.  Now they are sorting by file name.  How do I get them to sort again in chronological order?  I do not want to hav to rename all of them!  These photos were synced from my PC.

    To me it seems that the ordering is only broken in album/folders that were imported. If you create any new album on your device, sorting is as with iOS 4 (by date/time)
    This gives an easy way (workaround) to have photos be sorted the old way with iOS5:
    Import all your photos via iTunes. They will be in wrong order in the imported folders/album(s).
    Create a new album
    Copy all photos into the new album. (You end up with two albums with the same content. As the pictures are linked only into the second album, this should not use any extra space)
    The new album contains photos in the right order.
    Never use the old album, just irgnore it. Once Appple fixes the stupid bug, you may remove the album you manually created.
    Best,

  • Sort Order Changes Unexpectedly in iPhoto Gallery

    I frequently add new images to some of my iPhoto galleries, then publish to MobileMe. When I rearrange the images in a particular gallery, the sort order sometimes changes spontaneously. Once this occurs, I have to manually restore everything to its proper place. Needless to say, this is very irritating. Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?
    Thanks!

    Hello Alan,
    If I understand you correctly the images will spontaneously change their order both online at me.com and in the MobileMe WebGallery within iPhoto. You may have a broken Album within iPhoto.
    Try making a new MobileMe Gallery and add 50 pictures (make a few of them in an order that is distinct so you can tell if/when they move). Publish the Gallery and check the order. If its ok, add another few pictures and then check again.
    Ultimately if the issue does not happen with the new album then you may want to delete the other album and re-create it (you could try rebuilding your iPhoto Library as well. See the link below).
    If the issue happens with the new album as well follow http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638 to rebuild your Library. I would try using the "Rebuild iPhoto Library database..." option.
    Also if you are not already I would suggest making regular backups of your computer. With Time Machine you could restore back to before this re-arranging occurs should it happen again http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553.
    Hope that helps.

  • Sort order on sync'd photos

    I'm trying to get 400+ photos onto my iPad from iPhoto. I cannot use sync because it destroys the sort order I have established in iPhoto.  Have tried to sync, have tried to export to a folder. The folder export put the photos in the sort order I want but when I transfer to iPad - once again they are scrambled.  Photos that have names like pix-1, pix-2, ... appear all over the album.  Does anyone know how to keep the sort order when transferring (by any means) to the iPad?

    What sort order do you have selecting in the sort drop-down?  There is no "correct" sort order.  You can sort on any metadata you can show in the Browser.  The sort drop-down is located in the top border of the Browser, near the left corner.  Every container in Aperture retains the sort order it last had.  When you manually move an Image in the Browser, the sort order is changed to "Manual".

  • 8.1 did not sort the sort order for events in photos app

    With 7000 photos in more than 300 events You must have them in alphabetic order as before in 7.1 The pictures are synced from iMac iPhoto. How to do a search. The events are not found by names

    When I drag albums into the correct order in Photos for Mac, they show up in reverse order on the iOS devices. Thus there seems to be a bug in either iOS 8.3, OS 10.10.3 or iCloud Photo Library.
    The browser version of iCloud Photo Library (icloud.com) is currently updating. I am waiting to see which way my albums are sorted there.
    There is no promise at all, or documented anywhere, how sorting of library items will sync across the devices. This has been haphazard when syncing iPhoto Libraries - synced faces not sorted, synced events  not sorted, etc. So it is at least a step in the right direction, in Photos that the albums are sorted at all.

  • Sort order in iCloud shared photo stream

    I have an album of photos in iPhoto v9.5.1 which I want to share using the iCloud shared photo stream.  I've carefully sorted the photos in the album.  But when I create and send the invite for the shared photo stream, it automatically re-orders the photos by date and greys out in the menu all other sorting orders.  In other words it entirely ignores the work I put into creating the sort order.
    Is there a fix?

    please apple tell me what I have to pay for that a better solution? I will do it!   Photostream makes sense only with possibilties to sort the photos inside a stream! and to sort the streams !! you did such a great job with icloud and photo stream - but it is not finished!!!!
    Thanks a lot in advance!
    You are trying to use Shared Photo Streams as shared Photo albums or slideshows, but they are intended as communication channels, not as online albums.  If you treat them as streams, as they are intended to be used, it makes perfectly sense, that the images appear in the order they have been added.  Drop a photo into the stream, your friend will send a different photo back, etc. Any other sort order would make the streaming cumbersome, when the stream gets long. You will want to see the most recently added photo at the head of the stream, to see immediately what is new.  iPhoto on iOS device has web journals and slideshows to share online with friends, but in iPhoto on a Mac these are still missing.
    I'd like to encourage you to send feedback about the usuability to the developers. After all, right now the iCloud drive and the new Photos.app for storing photos in the cloud is under developement. Since nothing at all has been announced yet how this feature will integrate with iPhoto and Aperture on a Mac, feedback will be very useful.

  • Ordering prints from another photo site

    I'm a new Mac user and am ordering photo prints for the first time. I would prefer to order from a local retailer instead of the Apple/Kodak ship to my door feature, but cannot figure out how to upload photos from my iPhoto library to the website of other photo site. When I browse Applications from the other photo site, iPhoto does not show up.
    This is probably really easy, but I give up---can anyone tell me how to do this?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Sort order changes when copying found items

    When I search for items in a library, they show up in the "show search results" window in the right order. But when I copy them to Pages, the sort order is changed. Any idea how to get them to copy in the correct order?

    If you have other thoughts, I'd appreciate knowing about them, otherwise, thanks for the suggestion.
    If I look in iCal, I can see nowhere to override the system level setting for the locale which is in System Preferences > International. Rightly or wrongly, I would conclude that iCal takes its locale from the International control panel.
    Apple Pages does have an independent user interface for overriding the system level setting of the locale. This interface is in the Text Inspector > Language. But I am not aware that anyone has developed technical documentation for how this interface behaves.
    The expected behaviour would be that if for a selected character string the user changes the language identifier from the system and document default to some other language identifier, then the sort order for that selected character string changes.
    I discussed with Thomas Gewecke whether the user interface for language identification might not be made more explicit per standards. Not all 23 writing systems and 3 world scripts of the EU are included in the interface for language identification, but Deutsch is.
    Try to tinker a bit with the controls in the International panel and the controls in the Text Inspector to see if you can find a setting that works. Whether software behaves as standards and specifications entitle one to expect is often a matter of trial and error.

  • GPS data has disappeared from my photos in iphoto

    I imported photos into iphoto, edited (for hours) and shut program down. I have now gone back into the event and all the GPS Data has disappeared.  Can anyone help me?

    Sorry, for lack of info.  iPhoto '11 on Mountain Lion. The GPS data was on the photos, I had previously added it to the images via a Holux image tracker device and program.  While editing and sorting the photos in iphoto the GPS data was there as the images were marked on the map. I finished and closed iPhoto. I then opened it and exported the photos from the event I had just sorted/edited to a USB to use elsewhere. On returning to iPhoto I noticed that there was no information in Places.
    I created a new library and imported the images back into iPhoto (the new library just to not interfere with the first) from the USB. Still no place info.
    I checked preferences re auto inclusion of location info. Thanks for your help

  • Browser window album sort order change?

    Hi,
    do you know if there's any way to change the sort order for albums on the browser window?
    I'd like to view the album list for each artist sorted by release date order (as in discography) rather than alphabetically.

    Colin,
    Change the View option to include Year then click on
    the column heading.
    that works on the main window, not in the browser window.
    No matter what column I click in the main song window, the browser windows remain alphabetically sorted.

  • CF9 Scheduled Tasks Sort order changed; how to fix it?

    I just notice in my CF9 administrator under "Scheduled Tasks", the tasks now display Alphabetically IN GROUPS BY FREQUENCY rather than the straight alpha by Task Name.  Is this a new "feature" of CF9 and how can I change it back to "normal" sort by Task Name?  We have lots of scheduled tasks and it's really more convenient to see them the old way.  I haven't found any obvious place where I can change the sort order.  Any help is appreciated.

    You could experiment with changing /CFIDE/administrator/scheduler/scheduletasks.cfm to be the one CF8 uses instead.  I dunno if it would work, but it should.
    Or you could write your own CFAdmin extension to display them however you like.
    I don't know there's an "official" way to revert to the old view.
    I'm not sure why they bothered changing this.  I think they could have better spent said time on something else... like providing a proper API for managing the tasks, without needing to rely on using the service factory.
