I want to create a video containing several hundred photos. I want to import by date taken not by photo name. It looks like powerdirector sorts them by name even though I presort them by date. Can PD import by date or do I have to use an an external renaming program?
Thank you, Peter

Hi

It depends what version of PD you are using.

From memory this Sort By option was available from PD10

Well I thank you for the prompt, and accurate answer. I have PDv10. I looked under the "view" tab and sure enough there is a sort option. It does not look like like the image that you posted but it is there.
Thanks for the help. Peter

Hi

I'm using PD12, hence the difference.

Could you please go to your original post and Edit the subject line to include the word SOLVED to assist other members that might have the same query.

All the best Happing editing
