    Microsoft Photos app sort issue


    Hi,

    I'm on the latest versions of Windows 10 and the built-in Photos app which is fine for my photo viewing needs except with the following issue.

    I have several screenshots that I constantly take from long lecture videos as I watch (as notes for me) and these screenshots take incremental numbers attached to their filenames. Viewing them in Photos app come in descending order starting from the last screenshot (which represents the end of the lecture), which is not the correct order I want to view these. pictures/screenshots, because the correct behavior is the ascending, which correspond with the natural flow of the lecture videos. To my surprise, there's no way I can see to change my viewing options to become ascending, and if there's that option in the first place.

    As a workaround, I tried opening the last screenshot of the series and go with the "left" arrow, but after jotting down things from any screenshot and pressing delete to move on to the next shot, the app moves right to the next photo in the series, which is a nuisance!

    Any clue?

    :)

    Hello,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    The Photos app brings together pictures from all your devices using OneDrive, so that you can browse them by date, album or folder. It also automatically enhances photos, and creates albums for you, to showcase your best shots.

    I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if it helps:

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to change the Default apps in the setting app and verify the result. You may follow the steps in the below:

    • Go to settings and system.
    • Click on Default Apps and select the appropriately.

    Method 2:

    I suggest you to reinstall Photo app using the PowerShell command
    and reinstall using the Windows store. Follow the below steps.

    • Open the Start menu, type Windows PowerShell in the search bar.
    • Right click on the Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.
    • Enter the below command to uninstall the Photo app.

    •   get-appxpackage  *Microsoft.Windows.Photos* | remove-appxpackage

  3. 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.

    How to sort photos in Windows essentials photo gallery.

    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..
