Hi all, I would love if it is possible to sort photos during upload by date (or ideally switch between date/file name). Atthe moment when yopu drag and drop they are sorted chronologically. I often hav photos from mobile and camera and when editing photos while uploading more photos it is not convi…

Isn’t there another similar request already? I commented on the other one that I am very specific about the order I add photos to illustrate the observation. I suppose an option to sort them might be useful sometimes.

[image] tony_wills: Isn’t there another similar request already? There’s this one: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/groups-photos-by-timestamp-on-upload/143 , but it refers to automatically grouping related photos into observations, not just sorting them.

On PC: have them sorted in filemanager, select them all, drag them to the uploader page (you can alt-tab while dragging to show the uploader page). Let’s say there are 10 observations of 4 photos each. Typically each observation would have had it’s photos taken in succession, so in the uploader the…

Thank you all, what you suggest is also an option, but I would have to create a temporary folder, than locate folde rone, copy files from folder one, locate folder two, copy from folder two, import and then delete the folder, a lot of unnecessary extra steps and in case you move instead of copy you …

I’ve had that same problem! I got around it by drag and drop into the observation once the batch has been uploaded…

When i upload, the photos come in in the same order as in the original folder (always in chron order by date taken), except that the last pic in the folder appears as the first pic in the Upload area. I haven’t tested to see if sorting by other fields is maintained during upload.

When you select you click on the first, hold shift, and click on the last. If you then drag the last to pick up the set, it will drop the last first, if that makes. Instead, click the first, hold shift, click the last, let go shift, then click and hold the first and drag the set… Then it will be the…

In order to keep them in chronological order, I order them on my desktop first (I use a Mac) then I click on the Choose Files button on the uploader page and select the photos. They should appear in the order in which they’re listed on the desktop.
