    Edited photos end up last, no longer sorted by file name


    Hello, I have chosen sort by name in all my folders, but whenever I edit a photo it ends up last, meaning the system starts sorting by recently changed instead. If I leave the folder and go back inside, it does sort by name. It's super annoying as I'm a photographer and want to fine tune images one by one quite often, but I want them to stay in the correct order. Please help!

    :)

    How to sort photos in Windows essentials photo gallery.

    Hi John,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you want to sort your pictures in the way you want them. Kindly take note that the only options to sort your photos in Photo Gallery are the following:

    • Date taken
    • Date modified
    • File size
    • Image size
    • Rating
    • Caption
    • File name
    Also I suggest follow the below steps.

    Press ALT + W + K, one after other & check if the photos are shown in the order they were taken.

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks & regards.

    Mohammed Ali.

    Photos not sorting correctly

    Hello , sorry about your problems. My name is Marco and I will do my best to help you.

    Would the sort order of the photos be changed? Example are they listed by name, date, etc?

    If it's a bug, you can reset the photo app as follows:

    Step 1: Press the Windows + I keys together to open the Settings application.

    Step 2: Click on APPS on the left pane.

    Step 3: Go to the Apps & Features tab, and find the Photos app in the right panel.

    Step 4: Click on the 3 small dots at the end of the line and click on "advanced options".

    Finally you will see the RESET option and follow the instructions.

    Thanks for your response, but that doesn't seem to do anything in the Photos app I am running under Windows 10.

    You mentioned Photo Gallery so I think you may be talking about a different application than the one I am using..

    John
