Windows 10: Small problem with photos

I have been taking pics of my water and electric meters at the saem time of day for the last six days to prove to the compnies what I am using according to their meters which I think are over reading.

Now I have a folder with the water meter in it and one with the electric meter in it . The water folder I can arrange the pics in order of date that I took them (I use snips to use only minimal data) using the small blue file options in the bottom right hand corner and in ascending order. But the electric folder it will not do this it lists the first four by ascending order but the last two days lists the snips as yesterday and now today.

Why cannot I get the electric folder to work the same as the water one as both were set up on the same day.


I did try making a new folder and then copy paste the pics to it in order but they are all over the place.
Perhaps it is something that I am doing wrong so any help would be appreciated as I am rather pedantic in how these things are set up - neatly an din sequence only as I date the snips using paint anyway.*Confused

Windows Photo Gallery

Further to my last note when I said that although sending photos by email in Photo Gallery was not possible, sending them as attachments was still possible. The only problem I have here is finding the photos after clicking on the paperclip in the email.
Surprisingly, for the very first time, I noticed in the bottom right hand corner of the Photo Gallery toolbar icon "Photo email" there is a very small arrow. Clicking this brings up a small window giving the options "Send photo email" or "Send photos as attachments".
Clicking the latter brings up another small window giving the opportunity to alter the size of the photo/s (very useful) , and clicking "attach" takes you to the email screen which shows the photos as folder addresses rather that thumbnails.

Thanks again for your help.

how to add a 2nd small photo to the background screen below or above the current small center photo in Windows 10

Howto add a 2nd small photo to the background screen below or above the current small center photo in Windows 10?

 

If you modified the snips in Paint, you change the date modified. Is this the heading in details ? You can sort them by 'Date created' instead. R-click the Details row at top and select 'Date created' should fix your issue. If you don't need both columns, select 'Date' which will sort by the earlier of 'Date created' or 'Date modified'.

 

Well yes I did add dates and times with paint and I will try again but I am the electric meter pics have got a wobbly boot on*Wink

Ok have got them ascending using the View at the top I was using that little blue box bottom right. It still lists yesterdays as that and hopefully it will shift up into the main list when I take the pic today.

Am only doing this to keep a check on those utilities because of the skyrocketing bills*sarc

 

Put them in Word or simliar then you can place them were you like

 

Thanks Samuria that's a good idea too *Smile
