    How to sort by time of creation

    skinnc Community Member

      Excuse the cross-posting on two forums -- I didn't realize Bridge has a separate forum....

       

      I'd like to sort a large folder full of files by the time of image creation.  Files were made of an event on several cameras and I'd like to synch them in order to create a slideshow that makes sense to the viewer/client.  Many thanks in advance for help.

          You did not mention what version you are using?

           

          In CS3 use the filterpanel and in top of this panel select the small icon

          with up and down arrow, in this drop down menu choose sort by date created.

          This will give you the natural sort order with date including time in hours

          minute and seconds.

           

          In CS4 you can also use the filter panel and choose date created from the

          list or use the path bar and click on the sort by line to choose from date

          created.

           

          One condition is essential for a correct sort order, the time and date set

          on the different camer's should be correct and identical

            Thank you, Omke. That does solve the problem.  BTW, it's CS3 for me.
