1.5 RC 4 not sorting by date properly??

[Ed Rotberg]

I've got an exhibition with about 85 photos in it. The first 3 photos that show up in the index are all out of date order. This is certainly the case with the reported data from the EXIF, as well as the file created/modification dates under Windows.

Any idea of what I can look for to find the problem, or ways that I might be able to correct this after the fact?

Thanks in advance.

See DATE and TIME fields in photo editor. Those are used for sorting (they are combined to DATETIME field which is sorted by MySQL engine).

You may get identical date+time when using continuous shooting mode (or camera does not store time, only date), that will mess up sorting (identical datetimes are rearranged by id) - in this case change seconds in editor so that they do not overlap.

Thanks for the quick response. I'm not sure how the time got corrupted the way it did on those photos. It's all good now.
