Sort Order keeps changing

I'm using Aperture 3.1.2. My Workflow is to arrange the images by file name, group the bracketed images, select them, create an HDR image via NiK HRD Efex Pro and then add the HDR image to the group.
The problem is that after I create the HDR image the sort order in the browser (multiple images) changes. The new HDR image is moved to the very top of the browser, and the sort order is changed to manual from by file name. So I have to change the sort order back to file name to place the HDR image next to it's parents, then scroll down to the image. This gets to be very painful going through 500 + images ....

Short answer: Close all stacks
By group, you mean that you place the images in a stack (I hope). If you have all the HDR images in the same stack as the final image (with that one set as a pick), then the way to get this to work is to close all the stacks and then choose the sort order that you want. Aperture has problems trying to decide how to sort when stacks are open. If the 1st item in the second stack was after the third item in the 1st stack but before the last item in the second stack and so on - so it just gives up. I am not certain it is a bug.
I think if you close all stacks before you create your HDR - it should be put right next to the stack with the originals so you can easily add it to that stack.

Mail "sort" choice keeps changing

Hello,
I recently installed Snow Leopard and some updates of other applications, but now every time I go into Mail (even if I've only read a message or two), the sort order I've chosen, by "date received") is changed to by "subject." It's really annoying. Any idea about why it's happening and what to do to lock in my choice?
Thanks!

Here's something I've noticed:
1. When I uninstalled Dockstar, all problems went away. There's definitely something going on here.
2. When I reinstalled Dockstar, I am now only having problems with Mail remembering that one of my mailboxes is set to "organize by thread." (I had this problem before in addition to the window resizing). However, the window resizing problem seems to be gone (for today, at least).
Here's what's different:
1. I installed GrowlMail after they updated to a 64bit preference pane. (Not sure how this would impact it, but who knows...)
2. Last time, I just installed the newest copy of Dockstar over the old one. This time, I uninstalled the old one and reinstalled Dockstar cleanly.
Do you feel like verifying if this is true for you too?

Song order keeps changing on iPod

My albums no longer seem to play in order on my iPod. Based on previous posts I have made sure I am using the latest software, my songs are all track numbered and all the other information (eg artist and album) are all identical. All tracks are checked. The songs sync to my iPod but my iPod doesn't play them in the same order. It doesn't even play the same order on the iPod each time. For example the first time I play the album on my iPod it plays song 1 then 3 then 9 and the next time it will play songs 1 then 7 then 4. Any ideas as to what is happening and how I can fix this?

Well, the one thing you do not mention checking on the iPod is whether or not Shuffle has been enabled. Go to *Settings > Shuffle* and make certain that it is Off (as opposed to Songs or Albums). If it is not Off, highlight Shuffle and click the center button on the iPod until it is Off. It is possible that you turned it on accidentally while playing your music (this can be done by pressing the center button three times while music is playing).
Let us know if that fixes the issue, or if you require further assistance.

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 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.

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".

CUCM 9.1.1 ucmuser web sort order of controlled device profiles

Hi !
Anyone has an idea, how the web interface for the users (ucmuser) does sort the controlled em device profiles ?
Or even better how to change the displayed sort order ?
Changing the order of controlled device profiles in the user configuration in ccmadmin does not change anything in ucmuser.
And the controlled device profiles in ucmuser seem to have no recognizable order at all, but the order keeps being the same,
regardless any changes we make in ccmadmin.
Thanks
Ralph

Hi.
You can export all UDP.
Edit it with Excel
filter only entries with empty user
Upload the modified file as UDP- UDP Delete Custom File
Select delete device profile from BAT menu

Sorting order.

I've another Bridge annoyance I don't quite know how to fix. It's the sorting order. I like to sort by Filename. That way edited copies of images show up right next to the master file. But when I close Bridge's window (hide it, as it's still open in Dock), and later open it again, the sorting order has changed to 'manually'. It does this every single time, so on opening Bridge I always have to change this. I have looked at how I can keep the sorting order fixed, but couldn't find it. Anybody know how to do this? Thanks a bunch.
Levina

Last used sort order should be kept when having restarted Bridge as it is
the same when using hide or minimize to dock icon. It does so in my version
so there will be no reason why it should not in yours .
Remember that when having used a sort order and only having changed the
order of one file it auto changes to manual sort order.
Also there is the option to use the sort order and window location fixed in
a new workspace ?
Also remember that whenever Bridge starts behaving odd the first thing to
try is to reset preferences. Close Bridge, restart it with holding down
option key and choose reset preferences from the provided menu. Set the
preferences again to your wishes and try again.

Bridge Sort Order - Secondary Sort Key

Noticed an anamoly to sort order when rating images.
I have sort order set to Ascending by date. Everything starts off fine - all images in the correct order. When I start labeling the images (using numbers 6, 7, 8, 9) the sort order starts changing.
I have several images with the same exact date/time (e.g., 8/22/08 10:15:13) - my camera shoots 6 frames per second.
I start labeling "three" images with the same date/time - as I do, the image I label goes to the "end" of the "three" that have the same date/time stamp. So, now an image I just labeled is moved in the order and I end up labeling it again - which based on how bridge works actually undoes the label - label does a toggle.
Then I hit the next image and rate it - same thing. appears to be sorting on a secondary key when the date/time are the same for multiple images.
Is there a way to stop the secondary sort key affect. It really screws up the labeling flow.
Image order:
Image01
Image02
Image03
Label Image01 as a "6" - order changes to:
Image02
Image03
Image01
So now image01 is back in the labeling flow...

To further explain this issue:
Original file order:
1
2
3
I look at each file then star File # 1. Instantly, the files rearrange to:
3
2
1
So I back track and start the sequence over (so that I can see files 2 and 3). So I decide I also like file # 2. The order rearranges again into:
1
3
2 or something like that
By now, I'm all mixed up as to what order the event actually happened. The more I star, the more the files rearrange. When I go back to see the rearranged files, they rearrange again. It's all very frustrating when I'm trying to edit a wedding and tell the story. It's imperative that I see all different camera files in order.

"Date Added" sort order problem when importing folders

I sort by "Date Added" to view my iTunes library, and use the middle "view" button to view tracks grouped as albums with artwork. This works mighty well except when I'm importing folders containing the files in an album, such as those I get from eMusic--the tracks are displayed out of order when I do this. The only solution I've found so far is to import one track at a time. Any ideas how I can get those tracks in there in the right order when importing a folder? Any scripts hanging around that will do it right? Thanks to all....

Sort Order Wrong on Curve 9360

In the Contacts application, I changed the sort to be ordered by Last Name. So now, instead of being ordered as:
Adam Smith
Alice Jones
It lists them as:
Smith, Adam
Jones, Alice
In other words, it is showing the last names first, which is what I want, but it is still sorting by the first name, what I do not want. Anyone know if this is a flaw of the OS or am I missing something in the configuration options or what? Any assistance is appreciated. :-)

EPMA 11.1.2.1 dimension build from FlatFile to EPMA to EssbaseASO using ODI, member sorting order issues

We are building our EssbaseASO cube using FlatFiles which are pushed to EPMA via interface tables and then the EPMA Essbase app is deployed to Essbase, this entire job is done through a ODI interface/package. The problem I am facing is the Order in which members in EPMA appear, even though the FlatFile has the right sorting order, by the time the hierarchies arrive into the EPMA interface table the sort order is changed randomly.
I am using the File to SQL control append IKM in ODI and some where on the way I saw a suggestion to add a new option to insert "ORDER BY" into the IKM. I successfully did this and it did change the sort order but even this is not the right order(order in which my flatfile has the dimensions).
I can't understand why Oracle/ODI needs to randomize the rows without being asked to do so! Please let me know if anyone has faced this issue before and if they were able to resolve it.

The EPMA interface tables have a SORTORDER column. Make sure this is populated with numeric values sequencing the order you want your members to appear in the EPMA hierarchies and when you import from the interface tables this order will be respected. Prior to this feature being introduced the workaround was to create a view referencing the interface tables imposing the required ORDER BY clause but this isn't required in 11.1.2.1 just use the SORTORDER column

Changing Sort Order in Smart Album when Looking for Roll Name=Corruption

We've confirmed via testing and from new posters that changing the sort order in a Smart Album who's criteria is to look for a roll name will cause iPhoto to crash and then crash upon launch after that.
So to avoid corrupting your library do not change the sort order of a Smart Album designed to locate rolls.
The thread discussing this is:
IPhoto keeps on crashing, cannot use it
Rebuilding the library with iPhoto Library Manager recovered the library. However, I don't know if a rebuild via the Control+Option key will do the same.
G5 Dual Core 2GHz, 2G RAM, 22 Display, 250G HD, 200G FW HD, QT 7.0.4P Mac OS X (10.4.6) Canon S400, i850 & LIDE 50, Epson R200, 2G Nano

Ha! I upgraded to iPhoto 6.0.3 and opened the dummy library I had created. (This was the library where the crash on launch kept happening because I had a smart folder looking for rolls and sorted by title or something else other than the default.)
Guess what, it opened just fine! 6.0.3 fixes the crash. Not sure how much it helps people who started new libraries, but at least others won't run into this.
