Hello,

Using the slideshow, I have selected the sort by date/time taken, however it seems it is not sorting them correctly.

They are appearing out of order by date. But only some.

The other question - any way to sort the photos by their location using existing EXIF data?

Thanks,

Mr. Veepo!

Hi Veepo -

Dates taken/created/modified in metadata is a bit complex... & it's the reason PDR doesn't sort your photos as you'd expect.

There's a very thorough & informative article in PDNews Issue 7, written by Adrian (vn800rider). He explains the in & outs way better than I could. You can grab it here.

Have a read, modify some metadata & you'll be able to get PDR to sort your photos by "date taken".

If you select a photo in the timeline and click "Time Info" (see screenshot attached), you'll see that PDR can interpret "Date Taken" correctly.

Cheers - Tony
