I can't figure out what's wrong with it. It was YYYY_MM_DD, now the date is spelled out (Like October 14, 2012) and totally disorganized my photo library. Half my library is in the original format, the other half is in this spelled out format. Also, all the dated folders are completely out of order. Completely out of order, except for the YYYY_MM_DD folders. Those are perfectly fine and in chronological order. Something obviously got changed in the settings at some point, but I can't figure out just what.

I need help getting the folders reorganized. I don't care what format the date is in. I just want them back in chronological order and all in the same date format. It's really hard to find anything as my library grows. They appear this way in "My Photos" under Mac HD as well.

If I left any symptoms out for diagnosing the problem, then let me know and I'll describe them.

Thanks in advance!

I don't use Aperture, I'd suggest getting on to a dedicated Aperature forum??

Don't use Aperture, but there's probably some option for folder naming in the Aperture import dialog.

Via Google: https://support.apple.​com/kb/PH7898?viewloca​le=en_US (external link)

I'd probably rename the wrong folders (either in Aperture or in the Finder and then point Aperture back at them. At least, if it works similar to LR).

That is strange. I have not seen that happen before. Have to check your computers date & Time in the System Preferences? Is it also written out?

Try going to Apple's site and asking in the Aperture forum.

Wow there is an actual forum dedicated to aperture? That's pretty sweet. I'll need to look for that. Well, thanks for the advice, everyone!
