Sorting Photos by Date

When photos are imported into the Organizer, the Organizer automatically sorts them by date. How does it know on which dates the photos were taken? The time and date are embedded into the photo by your digital camera at the moment the photo was taken (this info is called EXIF data). The Organizer reads this info and then sorts your photos automatically by date, but finding the photos by date takes a little doing on your part.

Step One

By default, the newest photos are displayed first, so basically, the last photo you shot will be the first photo in the Organizer. Also, by default, the exact date each photograph was taken is shown directly below each photo's thumbnail. (Note: If you don't want this extra detail about each photo to be visible, just deselect the Details checkbox at the bottom-left side of the Browser window.)

Step Two

If you'd prefer to see your photos in reverse order (the oldest photos up top), then choose Date (Oldest First) from the pop-up menu in the bottom-left corner of the Browser window. There you have it!
