Sorting images

26 Jan 2021, 13:14

Hi

I have problems to understand the sorting of the photos. I have a directory where I sort the photos descending.

But new photos are not displayed at the top, but further down. 

Why? What settings i need to show the newest uploaded pictures on top?

I see that photo's date is "01 August 2019", and since you have set to sort by DATE, the layout is correct. When you use DATE sorting, X3 will the images "dateTimeOriginal" (EXIF), which is when the photo was taken, and which is preferred in most cases for date sorting (as opposed to sorting by server-creation date, which might be ranom).

If you simply want latest uploads to appear on top, then why not use CUSTOM sort? When using custom sort, latest uploads will appear on top (until manually sorted by drag-and-drop). If you change to custom now, you may have to drag your images into preferred order, but new uploads will always display on top.

Hi Karl,

thank you! i didnt know that at the CUSTOM sort the newest uploads apear on top. Thats great. So o use the custom sort. For me its more important the upload date.
