Sorting by headings: Name, Artest, Album, Popularity gone in itunes 11

If you're looking for a particular song from an artist and select :See all results for a particular artist, there's no longer a way to sort by clicking on the header such as Album to arrange alphabetically.
Often there are several versions of the same title from a particular artist. There might be a single version, a live version, an extended version etc. Under iTunes 11 it appears the option to sort in order to zero in on a song went away.
Am I missing something? Tell me there's not some new way that requires several steps rather than clicking on those headers.

Under SONGS there are all the thumbnail selections below and not in any order. Select "See All" and you get the entire listing of songs though not in any order. You can also select Songs under ALL in the right margin, but both create the same listing. There is no longer a way tp sort by clicking on those headers.
Yes?

I found that mobile data stopped working on my iPad once upgraded to IOS 5.1. I have resolved the problem by re-applying the settings in Settings > Cellular Data > APN Settings which had (very bizarrely) been over-written as a result of the upgrade process.
Clearly your APN settings will be specific to your data plan, but if you contact your contract provider, they should be able to tell you what they are.
Hope this helps.

How can I sort the Pictures in an Album by Name?

I am updated my Photo App on OSX 10.10.2. All my Albums are imported fine, but how I can sort the Pictures in one Album by name? I just found the option for the Albums.

Currently you can sort regular albums manually or by date; Smart Albums only by date; see How can you sort Album or Smart Album photos?

If I change the Album Name, the Album Column still sorts by the old name even the new name is listed.

If I change the Album Name, the Album Colum still sorts the song by the old name even though it shows the new changed name.
This happens for a song I bought from the iTunes Store. When I change the Album Name on songs read in from CDs, it sorts by
the Album Name which I edit.

Changing file or folder names by hand makes iTunes loose contact with the files. You shouldn't do this. If the files are stored inside the iTunes Media folder and you have the option "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" enabled then files with move around as you edit their tags. If they are stored elsewhere, or that option isn't selected, then if you want to rename the files you need to remove and then reimport, or manually reconnect each track one by one.
Select all of the tracks of the album, press Ctrl+I to Get Info, select the Sorting tab, delete the contents of any of the Sort fields, click OK. This should resolve the sorting issue.

How to set default sort order for all folders/albums/etc

This is driving me nuts, having to change the sort order from manual to file name every time I change projects or folders (and I have a lot of both). Is there a way to set the default to just sort by file name ascending? Or sort by timestamp (that's date + time, not just date)?

I am in process of doing some rearrangement to make Projects as the main box (the file drawer) with headings like: iPhone, Assignments, Events, Landscape, People, Travel. Then, a specific folder under the project. Then, an Album under the Folder.
This should be started as a new thread -- do so if you have any questions.
Strongly recommend using Projects as intended (see comments by Frank and DLSCreative in current thread ^1^ and long comment by me in another thread ^2^ ). In your case that would mean Folders with the headings you've selected, the (most likely) Projects, then Albums (and perhaps more Folders).

Customized contact sheets from manual sorted iPhoto 7.0.2 albums.

I manually sorted photos in my iPhoto '08 album and want to print contact sheets showing the photos in this sorted order. Everything is working fine choosing the preselected contact sheet with 3 rows and 4 lines i. e. 12 pictures on each page. But when trying to customize the preselected contact sheet (for I want 4 rows and 5 lines) the manual sorting is gone and instead the pictures are sorted otherwise (by name I guess). Does anyone has any idea to solve the problem?
(I use Tiger 10.4.10, Mac Pro QuadCore, iPhoto 7.0.2)

Gunther:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Have you tried dragging the photos in the contact sheet customize window to arrange them as you want? It works that way for me.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How does one add compilation CD's already mixed by the same artist. I want to put them in their OWN spot under the artist and I want to NAME the album. Is it possible? Or am I just out of luck. I've tried everything.

I want to find out how to add my mixed CD's under the folder of the artist. I want to save them on my computer in itunes. I want to NAME the album, but so far I haven't been able to do that. I named ONE and then ALL the rest of the CD's I am trying to save are put in the same place. Very frustrating.
These are mixed Christmas songs done by the same artist, and some are the same songs. But the albums are separate. Why can't I give an album I am exporting a name?

Indeed, generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
Don't try to use sort fields to merge different things together as it quickly goes wrong. These should be used consistently to make all things with one value sort as if they had a different one, e.g. Bowie, David to make David Bowie sort under B.

Can I sort album by year in iTunes 11?

Specifically, when I'm viewing my music in "Artist" view (with the artist list on the left, albums on right), is there a way to set the albums to sort by year rather than alphabetically?

Thanks! Why in the world this isn't the default setting is beyond me though. No one who has had vinyl or CD's files by 'name of album'. (at least no one i've ever known!)

How do i sort by (file) name

How do i sort by file name for an album? I organize the photos from all different sources.. by filename.. and when i import them i just want them in the right order. This has to be one of the most basic functions and why was it eliminated from iPhoto?
Now all i get is "keep sorted by date" check box... (which does not work, some are still not in order)
Apple: this minimalist crap is getting old.. THIS IS A desktop PC..not an ipad or iphone. Put some meat in the menus and stop worrying so much about everything being pretty and streamlined.
C'mon!!!.. wasted time

Now all i get is "keep sorted by date" check box... (which does not work, some are still not in order)
"Keep sorted by date" can only be toggled on and off for regular albums, not for smart albums.

How do I sort by artist name on I tunes

how do I sort by artist name on I tunes

Sorry Chris - that doesn't work unless you want the albums all listed. What I found was so simple. In the view catagoryclick on "Show View Options" That brings up a whole table of things. At the top it says sort by and if you click on the arrow it brings up however you want it sorted - in my case by artist instead of by song.
Thanks anyway

F110 Sort by Vendor Name

Hi all,
I would like to sort my cheque proposal by vendor name. I have gone into FBZP>payment methods by company code>form data> and created and new variant with the field Name1.
When I went to do a new proposal it did not work, it still sorted by vendor number. I have read most of the earlier posts is there something I am missing? It seems like it should be a pretty straight forward fix.

The sort variant in (Correspondence or line items) under payment method by company code (Form data) controls how payment advice lines are sorted. Correspondence sorts the payment advice notes (or check) and line items sorts lines in a payment advice. This is payment media sorting.
The default proposal is sorted by vendor number. For proposal lines sorting, try this: Financial accounting (new) -- AR/AP -- Business Transactions -- outgoing payments -- automatic outgoing payments -- payment proposal processing -- make settings for displaying line items -- select sort fields for line item display.
But I doubt if Name1 can be added as a field to sort proposal. It has a list of standard fields to choose from.
Thanks.
Rahul

Sorting Option by Name of the Photo

Hi
is there a way in Photos to sort the Photos in an Album by the Name of the (jpg)File??
Thx for your Help.

I'm not sure if date-hour is normal for Xperias. All the units I had was using DSC_xxxxx.jpg naming scheme. More over if you remove any file it will fill number gaps from the beginning.
Best regards,

What size if the Library as indicated in the Finder? If it's large enough to be holding your photos then your photos are probably still in there but the library is damaged. If the tags you used indicate iLife 11 then try the following:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
If the above falils to recover your photos continue with this:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)?

Hello, all.
In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)? For instance, I'm wanting to play an album with a particular track on it or I'm searching for albums that include that track. iTunes incorrectly assumes that all I'm after is that one track and then incorrectly displays the album as if there is only one ttrack on it. This is a bonkers default setting. Can I change this?

Click the search magnifying glass and uncheck "Search entire library".
Type in the name of the track.
Click the album of interest to show tracks.
Select the track.
Press the X in the search box to clear the search.
Double click the track you want to start playing first.
