    How to view photos in Windows 11 in the same order as they are sorted in a folder?


    How to view photos in Windows 11 in the same order as they are sorted in a folder?Now when I double-click some .jpg-file in Windows 11 Explorer, It opens the photo in Windows Photos App. The problem or issue is when I click the arrow to see the previous or next photo, the photos appear in random order, not in the same order as in the folder seen in Windows Explorer.Thank you for your help in advance!

    :)

    Windows Photo Viewer; sorting order not the same as view order


    The Windows Photo Viewer will not display photos in the order they are sorted by Windows Explorer.
    This is not referring to the slide show feature, just the forward and back arrows.
    The only order pictures can be viewed is by name despite Windows Explorer being set at view by date, ascending.
    I have repaired Microsoft Live Essentials, uninstalled and reinstalled but the issue remains.
    This is also not an issue with photo tags or photo names.
    Windows Explorer sorts as selected but click a picture in the middle to view, click the forward arrow and instead of the next date picture being viewed, the next name picture is viewed.

    Windows Photo Viewer; sorting order not the same as view order


    I know this is an old thread and solved but I was having difficulty creating the registry entry. I succeeded and am including the steps to save others the same work. Thanks VERY much for posting the original solution. It works like a charm.

    From the existing HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jpegfile

    1) Create a DropTarget key
    2) Create a Clsid string value
    3) Modify the string value by copying and paste the above {FFE2A43C-56B9-4bf5-9A79-CC6D4285608A} (no quotes)

    This is what it looks like


    How to view photos in Windows 11 in the same order as they are sorted in a folder? 106117d1485972996t-windows-photo-viewer-sorting-order-not-same-view-order-keyfix.png



    I had initially created in application key and that didn't work. See attachments. I deleted that key. The correct attachment is keyfix. As always be very very careful editing the registry.

    This fix does work to view jpegs in the order sorted in windows explorer ... i.e. by date taken. I tried the new photo application in Windows 10 and I don't need another app with 1000's of thumbnails created ... I just wanted a simple preview of the picture. Windows 7 Photo Viewer shouldn't have been hidden in Windows 10. It was one of the first things I added back in with the links posted here but until today I didn't realize it sorted only by name of the file and not how it was displayed in explorer. Thanks again and hope the above helps someone.
