Reader Question: Media Sort

Reader Question:

I have FT 2017. On an older version the photos in a persons media file could be arranged by the date of the photo. That doesn't work anymore. How can I arrange the photos by date without manually moving each one into position. Thank you.

Remember, you can Sort the Media files by Filename or Caption. So, your Filenaming can control the order of the media files and the way you Caption each media file will control the order they appear.

I have blogged about this (search for or scroll down the left column to Filenames. 

In the Media Workspace, I want to look at the images so that they appear by Person and in the Date order.

Surname-FirstName_MiddleName_Suffix-YYYY-Event

If no middle name or no suffix, it would be Surname-FirstName-YYYY-Event

The Caption is very similar

Firstname Middlename Surname Suffix - YYYY - Event

Note the Dash, Underscores, and Spaces.
