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".

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Default photo sort order on IPhone syncing with iPhoto

    Is there any way to get the Photos app on my IPhone 4 with iOS 6 to stop displaying my photos and events with the OLDEŚT pics and events at the top - displayed first?. 
    This means I can only get to my most recent events after extensive screen scrolling through my library of 4700 photos. 
    I have iPhoto on my iMac successfully configured to show most recent events first (at the top) but when I perform an ITunes photo sync this sort order reverses !
    Apple programmers, are you listening ?

    1. No Apple programmers. Or any other Apple people are not listening. This is, as explained in the TOU you agreed to, strictly a user to user support forum. No Apple involvement
    2  you want answers about iPhoto for UOS but are posting in the iPhoto for Mac forum. Posting in the correct forum will greatly enhance your possibility of getting a correct answer

  • IOS 8 Photos App - Events Album Sort Order is Screwed

    Hi,
    When I sync my photos (that are grouped into Events) from my Mac iPhoto Library, to my iPhone and view them in the iOS 8 Photos App, all the events are no longer sorted in order - they used to be sorted chronologically in 7.1.
    To try and find the event photos that you are looking for is now impossible.
    Does any one known how to fix this or is it a regression bug that they have introduced with iOS 8?
    Rgds
    Gary

    This is such a cluster-f*ck.  I was stunned when I found the change to iOS 8 brought this mixed up order of my events from my iMac's iPhoto.  Having them in Events by month/year was the only way I could keep a reasonable handle on where everything is.  This is completely unacceptable from Apple.
    Then again, it seems from what I read around the Internet, those of us using iPhoto as our managing software AND using it to sync pics to our i-devices are a clear and dwindling minority.  Maybe Apple just didn't think it important enough to bother, but they need to fix this. 
    What would have been completely helpful and awesome with iOS 8 would be the importing of keywords (and descriptions, but at least keywords) for those of us syncing from iPhoto.  I can understand why Apple wouldn't have done so years ago (memory onboard our i-devices), but today there's no reason for this.  Those tiny, tiny bits of data should come over with the photos to make them searchable by keyword.  I'd care less about the Events being out of order if I could search by keyword on my iPhone or iPad. 
    Come on Apple... we have enough storage space to make this happen.

  • IPhone photo album file name sort order

    I have a folder with photos in it on my Mac.  When I sync the folder to my iPhone and view the photos on the phone, the photos are not displaying in file name sort order.  The file names of the photos are numbers (001, 002, 003 etc.).  It seems the photos are being displayed in date created order and not in the file name order.  The album with photos on my Mac is arranged / sorted by the name when syncing.
    Is there a way to have the photos in the iPhone album displayed in file name sort order?
    Thanks,
    David

    Focus Point (not free, no ads) will allow you to rename the files, add descriptions, and sort in a variety of ways. But it won't let you do anything in the main screen except browse your photo albums or camera roll, select one, and then you can do a search within that album or camera roll--and then if and only if the photo has a filename or description can you search for it. Bottom line: be sure to give your photos a proper file name and add a description.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Sort order of photos on iPhone messed up when photos stored on a NAS

    Sorting iPhone photos stored on a netfear readyNAS Duo under windows
    I have a set of photos taken with another camera which I sync to my iPhone 3 GS.  Previously I stored the photos on my windows pc and after syncing they were sorted on my iPhone  alphabetically.
    I then deleted the photos from my iPhone, deleted the iPod cache folder that was in the photo directory on my windows pc, and copied them over to my readyNAS duo.  The NAS ( network attached storage) is acessed over wired Ethernet via CIFS.  
    I then reimported the photos using iTunes, (which created a new cache folder on the NAS) and synced them back to my phone.  After doing this, the sort order for those photos on the phone seems scrambled.
    One other thing to note.  Previously the folder synced contained the photos.  Now the folder containing the photos is a subdirectory of the sync folder
    Now, I followed another post in this forum whereby the user, storing his photos on his windows pc, deleted his cache folder, resorted the photos via windows explorer, and imported them back in.  This solved his problem.  
    I tried these steps with the photos on the NAS and this did not work for me.
    Any ideas on how to keep my photos on the NAS and have them sorted properly on the iPhone?

    I use iPhoto for photo storage on my Mac, and the photo placement/order in my iPhoto albums that I transfer to my iPhone match the photo placement/order with the albums in iPhoto.

  • ATV 4.4.2 photo sort order problem

    I have just updated my Apple TV (I believe it is now 4.4.2)
    When I view my photo albums, the sort order is not the same as that in my iPhoto.
    It was before the update.
    I resorted the albums again in iPhoto, they look just right on my MBP.  They also look exactly the way I wanted it on my iPad2 and my iPod.  But on Apple TV, it's all wrong again.
    I have invited friends over this weekend for a presentation that I want to show them slides on the Apple TV.  I am dead meat now.  Please advise.
    Thank you in advance.

    I did some additional testing using my Apple TV (1st generation) and my Windows 7 computer, and this is what I found.
    (This likely applies to iPad/iPod/iPhone too).
    Apple TV displays photos in order of their "Date Created" file attribute.
    If the "Date Created" file attribute of all photos in an album is identical, then Apple TV displays the photos in alphabetical order.
    This I what I do to make sure that Apple TV displays photos in the order I want them to be in:
    First, I arrange photos in the order I want them to be in. For this, I use Google Picasa, but one could also use FastStone Image Viewer, or any similar tool.
    Then, I bulk rename all the photos, so that their file names are in alphabetical order. I do this from within Picasa, but there are many other freeware file rename tools one could use for this.
    Next, I bulk change the "Date Created" file attribute of the photo files, so that they all have an identical one. For this, I use BatchTouch, freeware available for Windows and Mac.
    Finally, I open iTunes, and sync the photos to my Apple TV.
    Note: if they photos were already synced to your Apple TV before you perform the steps above, you may need to this beforehand:
    Open iTunes on your PC, and make sure that the correct photo folder is selected for syncing to your device.
    Using Windows Explorer, navigate to this folder.
    Within it, locate a subfolder called “iPod Photo Cache” ("iPad Photo Cache for iPad syncing) and delete it.

  • Get photos on iPad in same sort order as in Aperture

    Have newest, latest OS, iOS, and Aperure and Apps on my iPad ... all current.
    When I setup photos in a album in Aperture then sync the album to my iPad using iTunes to the Photos App, the images are sometimes
    several inages are placed in a different order in Photos than they are in Aperture
    Viewing them and setting up slide shows is uselees if I am not able to conrol the order I desire.
    I need to kow how to have them apper on the iPad "my way" if that is possible.
    In my work flow, images in Aperture are sorted by date, then a few recent edits that strip the original date are manually placed where they
    belong. So far it has never been the ones moved that leave the desired sort order. However, moving a couple of photos in the Aperture
    Album changes the sort selection from Date to Manual sort order. Have no idea if this contributes to the problem. I would just like
    the images to reamain as established in Aperture.
    Help would be greatly appreciated

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply. This worked but it doesnt seem to be consistent.. not sure if the fact that I have a smart playlist based on another smart playlist (only because I want 5 anded conditions + 1 or'd which is playcount=0) and hence something goes wrong?
    Any better way overall to manage these?  I now have 4 pairs of these.
    Also, any way to have a Smart Playlist that selects only video?  They have the Media Kind = Podcast, but no Media Type = Video..
    Many thanks,
    Vik

  • IPhone no longer syncs playlists in the same sort order as iTunes

    iPhone 4 no longer syncs playlists in the same sort order as iTunes after iOS5 upgrade.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the feedback.  Yes, it is very frustrating.  That was one functionality that worked very well.  Not only is the sort within the playlist bad but the sorting of the playlists themselves is bad.  I used to use an undetscore "-" to sort some of my folders to the top of the play list of the most played playlists and that does not work either.  It ignores the underscore and just sorts on the alpha character.  Hope this gets fixed. 

  • N9 Photo Gallery sort order - based on what?

    Hello,
    I am thrilled with my N9, but have one problem: I want to use the phone to keep not only photos made with it. I therefore saved extra photos in the Pictures folder. They appear in the gallery, but in a weird order, not based on either the name, EXIF date, modification date or creation date. Is there a possibility to sort them on either of these? All I want is to control the sort order. After all, it is MY gallery...
    On my previous phone (N8) sorting was based on the last modification date. Also not optimal (EXIF date would have been perfect) but still controllable.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well, maybe those pictures were never edited outside the phone, I don't know.
    Anyway, I believe I found the explanation: I exported the photos from Picasa, maxing them to a resolution of 1600xXXX. This way all files were created... today. Nevertheless the EXIF information is correctly saved by Picasa, so Date Image Taken was preserved. Although I modified in all files the creation date to be equal to EXIF Date Image Taken (ACDSee/batch/AdjustTimeStamp) , and then also renamed all pictures based on that, the "new" creation date still remains saved somewhere in the picture files and the Gallery sorts the pictures on it! The pictures were sorted in the reversed order I exported them from Picasa... Bad.
    Anyway, since this is not a request forum, it would be futile to say (again) that Nokia should use the EXIF Date Picture Taken for picture sorting. So I don't say it (!).

    I tryed to sort my pictures with buying Apps and following suggestion from apple, but without any success.

My preference would be filename, perhaps with options to choose the Date Taken attribute, file timestamp or date modified filestamp.

    Not a problem when using iPhoto on a Mac, which the transfer of photos is primarily based on - not manually managing photo storage as seems to be common with Windoze.
    The same should be available with a supported photo management app on a PC.
