Sorting mailboxes by name

I have a nested mailbox structure in Mail.app.
Suppose that I have a mailbox named A and that within A I have mailboxes named B and C at the same level. Even if I order B and C so that C sits above B, it is nice that Mail.app does not force-sort them automatically by bringing B above C.
Now, suppose that I want a mailbox that acts as an artificial divider between B and C and that I name this mailbox as - - - - (4 dashes). The mailboxes now look like the following within A.
C
B (There shouldn't be any space above this, though.)
In the Inbox, I select one message. Then, from the menu bar, I select *Message > Move To*.
As I mouse over to the triangle on the right, I now see the 3 mailboxes within A sorted the following way:
B (There shouldn't be any space above this, though.)
C
How can I make this menu from *Message > Move To* to show the mailboxes in the same order as in the MAILBOXES column on the left?

In Firefox the option to sort bookmarks is only available for folders and not for individual bookmarks.<br />
Easiest to sort by name is to do that in the left pane of the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) and right-click the folder that you want to sort.<br />
The bookmarks are sorted between separators and if you have folders and normal bookmarks then drag the folders to the top in the right pane and (temporarily) put a separator between the folders and the bookmarks.<br />
You can do the same in the Bookmarks side bar (Ctrl+B).

Error: The specified mailbox database [Mailbox Database Name] does not exist, when you try to export mailbox in Exchange 2007

[Symptom]
======================
In Exchange 2007, when you want to export mailbox to a .pst file, you should run the
Export-Mailbox cmdlet from a 32-bit computer that has the following installed:
The 32-bit version of the Exchange management tools
Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 SP2 or later versions
If not, you may encounter the following error message:
You check that you have these required installed, but you get the error below when you run Export-Mailbox in EMS.
“The specified mailbox database [Mailbox Database Name] does not exist.”
[Cause Analysis]
=======================================
This is because that the account you use to run Export-Mailbox cmdlet don’t have the Exchange Server Administrator role assigned.
You can check if this account has been delegated the Exchange Server Administrator role through the following path.
EMC -> Organization Configuration-> Check permissions in the result pane.
To delegate this Exchange Server Administrator role, right click on the
Organization Configuration node and choose Add Exchange Administrator,
you will see the Add Exchange Administrator window.

Hi,
Based on my test, if you make the user the owner of the database (rather than a user with the db_owner role), when you create a query, it creates it under the dbo schema rather than DOMAIN\username.
Steps to do so (in Management Studio):
Right click database, select Properties
Click File
Change Owner in the textbox
OK to confirm
Downside - other users under db_owner role will still have their username appended. So schemas have to be created for these users.

Birthday calendar on iCloud sort by last name first name like my contacts

birthday calendar on iCloud sort by last name first name like my contacts

Curiously, the most recently inputted entries do sort properly, as do all company entries.
Does that mean "most recently inputted" AFTER you upgraded to Snow Leopard?
If that is true, it would mean that something about your existing records before the upgrade, for the records that are people contacts (with first and last names) instead of business contacts, do not agree with Snow Leopard and/or Snow Leopard's version of Address Book.
This may not be feasible, but if you exported the records with this problems and then imported them, maybe they will be re-inputted so that are properly sorted.
If you use Time Machine, maybe you can use the +flying through space+ interface to restore one of the records with this problem to see if the restore process makes the record sort properly.

How can I get the address book to sort by "Last" name (using v 31.3.0).

After a computer crash, I had to load Thunderbird (v31.3.0) back into my machine running Windows 8.1, and I successfully imported my address book back up file into Thunderbird (v31.3.0).
My problem is that I don't see an option to sort the address book by "Last" name, which was available with the version of Thunderbird I had before the crash.
How can I get the address book to sort by "Last" name?

In 'Address Book'
Select address book
'View' > 'Show name as' > 'Last/First'
The you can sort by Name.
Either click on 'Name' column header to change sort order,
If reversed, then click on 'Name' column header again to reverse the order.
Or
'View' > 'Sort By' > choose 'Name' and 'Ascending'

PSE6 - sort by file name

How to sort by file name in the Organize view of PSE6.
I tried Display->Folder Location. But there are still two pictures (#15 and #18 out of 130) which are shown at the end of the view.
More sort options in the thumbnail view would be helpful.
Thanks
Hagen

Not sure I understand what zou mean here Hagen. Do you because the
images are in a different folder they don't end up in the right sequence?
Put requests into the Feature Request area by the way. Forum

How can I make Sort by File Name the default in Adobe Bridge CS5?

The only online support I have found so far avoids the specific question. Must I assume that Sort by File Name cannot be made the default - and will revert to Manual each time I close Bridge?

If you have "start bridge at login checked" your changes will not keep unless you close program by clicking on File then Exit. Just closing window does not exit program.
Option is in advanced preferences.

How can I get Elements 11 Organiser to sort by File Name as in Elements 7

I have just acquired Elements 11 to replace Elements 7
All my main photos (thousands) are in 1 file on my computer.
My individual file names are dates - eg "1960-09Sept Venice St Marks Square.." etc, so File Names bring my thousands of images up in date order.
I have tagged them in Elements 11 as appropriate with 1 or more Tags per photo.
In Elements 7 there is an Option "Display" and one of the options is "Folder Location" i.e file name order, which is what I want.
I cannot find this option in Elements 11 - all I have found is an option to sort by just "new" or "old" i.e file date order. Fine for photgraphs where the file date is the same as the photo but a scan done today may be of an image in 1960 which is where I wanted it sorted!
I know you can amend the file date in Elements 11 for each image but I have hundreds of scans to redate!
I also know you can bring the images up in Elements 11 of my whole file by using "Reveal in Explorer" which brings them up in file name/date order for me but not when I click on the Elements 11 Tags which reverts to File Date.
Is there anyway I can get the Tags to sort by File Name/Location in Elements 11 as in Elements 7?
Tony

Many thanks for your previous message. Very useful.
In fact in preparing to answer your question, I find that maybe my problem is not as bad as I thought!
Yes, I have a lot of photos but the majority in digital form are photos (2,500) since the year 2000 which will be sorted by Elements according to the photo/file date.
I have 6,000 or so prints/slides going back mostly to the 1930s but quite a few back as far as the late 1800s. I am scanning a lot of these into digital form but I have only scanned about 500 or so so far and it is only these that are causing a problem. (I am unlikely to scan all 6,000!). These range from the 1880s to 2000. However, as I only started taking digital photos in 2000, if I follow your suggestion, I could give all my scans the same file date (a date prior to 2000) and if I understand correctly what you say, they will then all be sorted in the alpha/numeric order I want.
Have I got this right?.
I suppose, as an alternative, It would not be a real problem to insert a file date for the 500 or so I have scanned and I would then just need to enter a file date for any future scans.
As you indicate, there are other options but one of the 2 options above seem at present to be my best bet.
Thank you very much for your suggestions - maybe I can now more or less get what I want without too much effort but I would still prefer Adobe to add a File Location Option as before!

Virtual Copies, Stacking & Sort by File Name

The scenario is as follows...
I create a Virtual Copy of an image (Original & VC automatically stacked)
The file is sorted based on the File Name of the Original file.
I now move the Virtual Copy to the top of the stack.
The file has been moved to the very beginning of the sort list!!!???
Sort by File Name no longer works as expected even though the VC and the Original have the same file name.
This behaviour is the same whether the stack is collapsed or expanded.
File returns to correctly ordered sort position when Original is moved back to the top of the stack.
Does anybody have an explanation for this?

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.

I need a clear answer - can files be sorted by file name in pse8.

I have looked everywhere in pse8 and cannot find a way to sort my pictures by file name. I cannot believe Adobe would have left this capability out of the program. I have saved my pictures with sequential file numbering. I would appreciate a clear answer so I can quit messing with this. Thanks much..

First and foremost, I must have the ability to sort by file name across folders. If PSE8 cannot do it, what's another product can do it? My friend, an expert user initially recommended me to Bridge but I haven't been able to buy or download Bridge alone, what is my best option to have that kind of sort capability without spending an arm and a leg to get that plus a bunch of other features that I don't need.
Look forward to your answer, many thanks in anticipation.

Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the third-party developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, email the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

Sent items in mail box are sorted from sender name

Hi friends,
I just purchased P780 two days back & trying to configure my corporate mails ( & also my Yahoo mails ) on it using Active Sync. Everything works fine apart from the fact that when I am going to the sent items, it is sorting all my mails by the sender name ( which is me ) & I am not able to find any configuration where I can change it to sort using receiver name.
Please help me in sorting out this issue.
Regards
Rajesh

I have the same problem on an A5500 8" tablet.
Telling us it's a 'known issue' is not a useful response. Please provide a solution.

Problem sorting by artist name

itunes 9 sort by artist is not consistent (e.g Alberta Hunter appears before Harry Allen). Why? And is this fixable?

Because it sorts by the name in the artist column.
Alberta comes before Harry.
If you want *Harry Allen* filed under A and *Alberta Hunter* under H then put the names in the *Sort Artist* column as *Allen, Harry* and *Hunter, Alberta*.
