TV Show Sort Order?

I don't know if I'm alone on this one. But since the introduction of TV Shows in iTunes and FrontRow, my TV Shows have always been in a random order. I regularly download content from the iTunes store, Transfer content from EyeTV and all it seems to do is change the sort order again. I would hope it would sort alphabetically like everything else.
Can anyone provide any feedback on FrontRow's TV Show sort order?

I am having the same problem. It's soooo annoying. No matter how you sort your TV programs in iTunes, when you access them in Front Row they're in the most random order. For the life of me I cannot figure out what data is being used to determine this order--not date, not title, not genre, not artist, nothing! Get it together Apple! If anyone has figured this out please share.

  • Slide show sort order in PSE11

    When I choose Folder Location as the sort order for a PSE 11 slideshow, the photos are put in reverse order, from last in the folder to first in the folder.  How can I fix this?
    Thanks!

    See this recent post:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1249400?tstart=30
    From what I can understand, there are three problems:
    1 - the inability of PSE11 to sort by filenames (recognized by Adobe, hopefully solved in ulterior versions...)
    2 - the difference of behaviour of the downloader and the organizer (to my knowledge, not reported before)
    3 - the fact that the 1/100th of seconds do not seem to be written to the exif by the camera. They are not saved in the sqlite database either...
    That means that the difference of behaviour should be explained. If the organizer is able to show pictures in the right order when the date/times are set identically for a series of pictures, that means it is able to use the alphanumeric filename sort as a secondary criteria - the downloader should be corrected to do so.
    Another question : besides renaming your files at download, do you use the automatic date folder creation of the downloader ?

  • ITunes 7.1 and TV Show sort order...

    Is there noway to undo the upgrade from iTunes 7.1 to iTunes 7.02 until they solved this annoying iPod TV show problem? Nothing was wrong with the list on that version. Unbelievable they changed something like this!
    Martijn

    I agree, my TV Shows are now all out of order. iTunes used to organize them by Season Number then Episode Number, now it ignores those fields and organizes only by Episode ID. I hope this gets fixed quickly, because I really don't want to delete the tags on a few hundred shows.

  • How change the sort order of searched items so last search item shows first. I DO NOT mean the order of search engines, but existing searches by down arrow key

    I want to be able to change the sort order of items I have already searched for in the search box. I want to be able to hit the down arrow key and see my previous searches in the order of last search showing first. At the moment I have no idea how it is sorting and it's very annoying to have to re-type a query I typed 5 minutes earlier but because I typed in another 10 since it is lost somewhere in the list. Can this be done, I have googled but did not find the topic anywhere. Just to clarify, I DO NOT MEAN the order of search engines (which is all that comes up in google), I mean the actual text typed in which has been saved in the drop down list.
    Thanks

    The "form fill" feature uses a "frecency" algorithm, frequency + recency, similar to the address bar autocomplete list.
    I found an extension that seems relevant, but the reviews are old so I'm not sure it's still working: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/searchbar-autocomplete-order/ Searchbar Autocomplete Order].
    But... is the autocomplete not working? I would expect that typing a couple characters of the earlier query would filter the list so you can easily select it? Or is the problem that the list doesn't remember enough searches for that?

  • Sort order on TV Show episodes

    Help!
    I am trying to figure out how to make iPad sort episodes by episode number rather than strictly by alphabetical order.
    I bought the original Wifi Ipad on Apr 3. Transferred all my episodes (which are all coded correctly with Season and Ep #) and when I would select "24", they would all list out by episode # rather than sorted by title. Same with 5 other TV series.
    I returned my Wifi and now own a iPad 3G and put everything back on it, but no matter what I try, everything is sorted by title, which makes watching TV shows in order completely useless.
    I know some will say "just add a 1- in front of the title." You shouldn't have to do that.
    Anyone know the trick to get iPad to sort by Ep#?
    thanks!

    I was having the same issue and frustration.  After doing some experimenting, I figured out something that is working for me at least.  The video player on the iPad appears to be sorting in the order episodes were downloaded.  I had an entire season of shows (23 in all) that I downloaded all at once in iTunes from my purchase history.  When I hit the download all icon in the season header, I noticed that iTunes queued the episodes up in alphabetical order.  They were also sorted this way once I synced them onto my iPad.  I then wiped the season from both the iPad and iTunes and downloaded shows again, this time individually in ordery by episode.  When i synced this time to the iPad the episodes were in the correct order.
    So, for me at least the iPad appears to be listing shows in whatever order they were downloaded.  I hope this helps anyone else experiencing this issue.

  • Album sort order PSE11 - is it by design ?

    When experimenting with the sort order of albums in PSE11, I was surprised to see that in some albums, changing the sort order from 'oldest' to 'newest' did not produce any effect.
    The reason of this probably lies in the menu /preferences/general :
    If you have only pictures taken the same day, the above setting will still show 'oldest first' even you choose 'newest first' for album order.
    I believe that the most used order is 'album order' and that the 'newest first' is very rare.
    I can understand the option to browse 'oldest first within each day' when in 'newest first' in thumbnail view.
    However, I wonder if that option makes sense to sort an album ?
    Was it by design ?
    If it were me...
    I would not use that preference for an album,
    and...
    I would add the option to sort by filename and caption.

    Figured it out. I added "Various Artists" in the Album Artist field for every track and it then sorted them all together.

  • SORT ORDER WITHIN GROUPS

    Post Author: Kara
    CA Forum: General
    Hi,
    I am using version 9. I have designed a report based on an access control database. It shows a person's time in and time out, then totals these hours. My report is grouped as follows:
    Department
    Date/Time
    Unique ID
    The main data of the report is shown in group footer 3 (Unique ID) and is displayed in numerical order. I need to change the sort order to display by last name, first name but because I have grouped by unique ID I can't seem to be able to do it!
    Any help gratefully received,
    Kara

    I use a similar report to track service personnel who also have a unique ID.  I have mine set up as follows - maybe this'll help.
    I used selection expert to specify the dates I want to see. 
    Group 1 sorts on the unique ID. Instead of printing the unique ID field in the group header, I have Employee.EmpName.  They'll come out in their unique ID sort so the names might be a little out of order. If that's a problem you could put sort option on that field.
    Group 2 sorts by the Job ID, with the group header suppressed.
    Detail line has location, job id, date, time on, time off, total time in hours and if it's completed.
    Group 2 summarizes at date and amount at the job ID level.
    Group 1 summarizes at technician.
    I get very accurate reports to match against their hand written time cards.
    Perhaps if you re-arranged the grouping?

  • How to keep sort order in Shuttle item's source and destination boxes?

    I have defined a shuttle item on a page and the list of values in the source box is populated by a SQL with sort order specified. In the Settings of the shuttle item, Show Controls value is set to Moving Only instead of All. When a user moves selected values from the source box to the destination box or vice versa, the list of values does not maintain the original sort order. For example, if I have 26 values A through Z, a user can put value Z before A in the destination box. And when a user move A from the destination box to the source box, A is the last item in the source box. The reset button clears everything in the destination box and resets the source box to the original sorted list. This is not the solution that I am looking for. I would like to see the items in the source and destination boxes to maintain their original sort order all the time.
    Is it possible?

  • Photoshop CS3 web gallery bugs(?); vanishing metadata, bad sort order

    Running OS 1.5.4 on 24" Imac, I'm attempting to generate a "horizontal slideshow" from bridge-selected files in Photoshop CS3.
    [Sounded like the problem in this post: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5a9fe/2 but on re-reading I've decided it's different so I'm giving it it's own thread, with more detail...]
    Here's my experience:
    1) Description and title show up for a second on the first slide, then revert to just the blank template on that and all subsequent slides (title: [blank] description: [blank]....
    Hitting "refresh" produces the descriptive metadata for a tantalizing moment, then it' s back to the blank template for this and all subsequent slides. It does this both for Safari and Firefox.
    You can view this behavior in a slideshow at http://oasisdesign.net/projects/earthtoilet/
    If it asks for a password, use---
    user:earthling
    pass: draf1 )
    "preserve all metadata" is checked.
    I've tried all combinations of checking/ unchecking "title, description, filename" for labeling...also, making slideshows with just one or two slides to reduce the chance that it's a weird character issue of the type some other folks have experienced...
    2) additionally, the web gallery is not respecting the manual sort order in Bridge, which is the source of the files. The help files say the slideshow should follow the manual sort order in Bridge.
    3) Finally, metadata entered in bridge metadata tab sometimes vanishes, sometimes metadata entered in file info wouldn't show in the metadata tab.
    Thanks for your help!!

    BTW, here's the related issues I found:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5a9fe/2
    ...After some investigation, I found that the descriptions were disappearing only for photos that had a Return / Line Break in the description. If you go back and make sure all of your descriptions are a single line, it works fine....

    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bff9de1/0
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bd62ec3/0

    OK...here's the hack I used to get around what I'm now totally convinced are program bugs and shortcomings relative to advertised functionality, for anyone else who has to deal with this, followed by my (suggested fixes to Adobe)...
    1) Sort everything the way you want in bridge.
    2) Make meta descriptions w/o weird characters (a warning here would be helpful)
    3) Use "batch rename," with "copy to another folder" to give the images totally plain vanilla, DOS-style file names (001.jpg, 002.jpg...). This solves most filename issues and the works around web gallery's failure to recognize bridge sort order in one go. Note that you can irrevocably screw up the names of all your original files if you're not very careful to COPY at this step.
    ([a] make the bridge sort work directly, as advertised, por favor. [b] add an error message or warning about file names such as 006-(2).jpg causing malfunction. A compassionate, low-effort short-term patch for Mac users of web gallery, especially since bridge generates that particular sort name itself invisibly and automatically if you move a file with the same name into a folder)
    4) Use "white on black" instead of bug-ridden "horizontal slideshow" (horizontal slideshow should be fixed or deleted from the next version...multiple slideshow options would be awesome, as they advance automatically at the max rate the user's bandwidth allows, a very attractive feature)
    5) Restrict all images to the same height so users can click *in the same spot* to advance the 200 images with less carpal tunnel (the advance arrow should *always* be in the same spot, for every web gallery, IMHO)
    Web galleries are a fantastic tool for sharing information easily...I hope to see some evolution in those great automatic updates someday...

  • Specified Sort Order not working correctly in InfoView

    Hello All,
    We are running Crystal 2008 version 12.2.0.290 with Infoview 12.1.0 and are having a problem with specified sort orders working correctly.  In Crystal we are using the 'Chart Expert' to set the specified order of the percent bar chart.  It works just fine in Crystal 2008 and shows the stacked bar in the order we would expect.  We then save the report to InfoView and run the report on a schedule and it comes back in a completely different order. Not the order we specified in designing the report.  Any ideas on what is going on?
    Thanks in advance.

    We are experiencing a similar issue with the sort order in Infoview. We are using Crystal XI.5.8.26 and Infoview.
    The specified sort order works correctly in Crystal but in Infoview it comes back with a different order. Are there any suggestions on resolving this disparity?
    Thank you.

  • LR - Creating Custom Sort Orders in Lightroom | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

    Julieanne Kost shows the best ways to take advantage of Adobe Lightroom’s Custom Sort Order feature in this Lightroom 2 tutorial.
    http://adobe.ly/y3dj94

    This was helpful, Julieanne, however, I have one more question on custom sort order. I am trying to sort a Collection that is made up of photos from several different import files. It's a vacation collection where I have created a different file for each day of the vacation as well as by who took the photos. So i have a file for my daughter's shots, my shots, my son's, etc, to keep things organized. Now that i have selected the "best of" from each original import file, I have created a new User Collection where I am putting them all together. The problem is, my entire Collection won't sort. I want to sort them all by capture time, but LR keeps grouping them by the original file source, and only sorting by capture time within each group. Can you help?

  • How can i sort the items in my bookmarks' toolbar with an A-Z sort order?

    i would like to set the items in my bookmarks' tool bar in an a-z order.
    when i click "views" and "sort," i select the sort order, and then go to the bookmarks tool bar, which is not sorted by a-z--it's a jumble of names without any order, a-z or name.

    Sorting via the Views menu in the Library only shows the bookmarks in the chosen sort order and doesn't change them permanently (hence the Views name of that menu).<br />
    Clicking on the header does the same.<br />
    If you want to sort bookmarks then you need to right-click a folder and use "Sort By Name" to sort that folder.<br />
    You can't sort individual bookmarks, only folder can be sorted that way.<br />

  • Wrong sort order for rapid sequences of images

    When I have a sequence of shots taken at high speed, i.e. a number of them have the same timestamp, being taken within the same second, I find that LR displays some of them out of order. For instance, I have a sequence of 5 frames all with timestamp 9/4/07 2:17:32pm and the file names show up in this order - 1740, 1742, 1741, 1743, 1744 (these are the file names assigned by the camera)
    The frames show in this order with any of the sort order options selected except, of course, File Name, and in that one instance they display in the correct order.
    Is there a way I can specify in LR that I want to sort in Capture Time order then within that in file name order? This would give me the result I want. The reason I don't want to simply use file name order is that with images from different cameras with differing file naming conventions, or with file names I may have applied, that would not give me correct time sequence as shot. I want to see a whole day's images in correct time sequence regardless of file name.
    If there is not a way to specify this in LR, should I add this to the Feature Request list?

    Capture Time and Import Order do the same thing.
    Additional information - I see the same wrong sequence is presented in the import dialog when I try to import the same photos again (they happen to still be on the card). So, I think it is initially caused by the order that the camera lays down the photos in the file structure on the card, or in the way that Windows reads them off the disk. (I have a Canon EOS 30D, SanDisk CF card, using a card reader rather than plugging the camera to the PC.)
    If I use the import dialog's renaming process (in my test I chose filename - sequence) and apply a sequence number to the images the sequence number ends up wrong. So LR is importing the photos in the wrong order (may not be LR's fault?)
    So, this modifies the definition of the problem and of the feature request. No longer is it simply the sort order displayed in the library; it needs to be addressed at import time as well.
    Here is my attempt to redefine the feature request:
    - when importing images that are taken in rapid sequence (multiple shots within the same second) LR should allow for sorting the images by camera-derived file name to correct out-of-sequence delivery from the card/camera. This sort order, when selected, should re-arrange the preview thumbnails so the photographer can verify the images will be imported in the correct order.
