sort photos by date taken

[photos]

I have taken a lot of photos while on holiday but they are not in date order
why is this and how can I get them into order I have tried drag cut and paste
I tried on another machine which seemed to accept this but they are still all
over the place

You can change the order they appear in Windows Explorer or in any of the
Open or Save dialog boxes. Just click on the Date header.

Your Camera should give them file names that are something similar to
IMG0001, IMG 0002, IMG0003, or file names that have the date included, like
IMG060301, IMG060302, IMG060303. These file names would automatically sort
your files for you.

Having said that, you can define the sort order in Windows Explorer by
setting the View Mode to Details.

You will be presented with columns of information, the contents of that
information will be listed at the top of each column. You can Right Click
the column headings and select the information you want to be shown, and you
can move the columns around so they are in any order you want -- select the
MORE option to move the columns around.

Once you have defined the columns to be displayed and set their order, click
OK.

With the columns you want to be displayed, all you do is click the Column
Heading to sort by that column.

You can experiment with what I said earlier right here in your newsreader.

Notice that at the top of each column are headings, SUBJECT, FROM, SENT,
SIZE (where some of these might be different because you can change them and
I would never know). You can sort the messages by clicking on these
headings. You can also display and sort your files the same way.
