How to organize the sidebar in Photos?

In iPhoto, my albums were always arranged in chronological order from oldest to most recent.  I found it very useful.  Now in the Photos, the albums are willing just randomly and so very difficult to locate.  The only option I can find is an alphabetical arrangement which I find it very useful.  How can I organize once again to the albums in the sidebar in alphabetical order?  Note the same random arrangement seems to unfold in the albums main screen pane, but I find it much more quickly and efficiently to scroll through a list than to have to page down through all the pictures.

Thank you!

Lance

What version of Photos you have?

In Photo 1.3 under MacOS X 10.11.2 El Capitan ctrl, you can click a folder with albums inside in the sidebar and have the sort options:

The sidebar is a lot easier to manage if you group related albums in folders. This way you can reduce the subfolders and get a lot of albums from the road with a single click.  I use folders for groups of ten albums and inside a folder for each year.

    There is a detailed user manual?

    You cannot organize the files/folders from the application of weapons of mass destruction, or specify what folder to upload to.  It is a gap MOST of IMO.  At least on the PC side, you can organize all you want, and the ADM app will be able to access all the new files/folders.

    Of the four files that you listed, only the download folder seems to have a purpose.  He is the giant pool where anything and everything that you download from your device's.  I guess the other three cases are some suggestions where to put your content, your content will be found no matter where it is.  But don't bother delete these folders if you don't use them, recreate them because the app will just unnecessarily.

  • How to hide the sidebar with other files of Notes?

    OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

    I am trying to read a PDF Acrobat Pro and take notes with Notes in my mac, side by side.

    I would like to know how to hide the sidebar on the left of Notes, where are the names of the other file.

    I don't want the files, I already went to 'View' and you click "hide files".

    I can just see the writing of the Notes area while sharing the screen with the document I read in Acrobat Pro.

    Looks like a basic feature which Apple or Adobe Acrobat Pro should have, but I can't seem to find it.

    Looked for other solutions to the App Store, but what I've found is a bit expensive.

    I appreciate any assistance.

    I asked that your thread moved to the El Capitan forum.

  • How to keep the order of photos in an album for a pound of apples

    How to maintain the order of photos in an album when moving pictures to create a notebook from Apple?    They are placed in the book of the order of date, but a lot of my photos are scanned and have nothing to do with the date of the photo.  I use version 1.3 of Photo with iOS 10.11.3. I have read the previous assignments and fail to follow the suggestions that they seem to have apply to older versions of picture (iPhoto).   Thank you

    Adjust the dates of your photos with "Image > setting Date and Time", as well as the date of the photos match the order desired.

    It was possible to select all the photos in an album in iPhoto 1.0 and then use ' file > Create book "and the pictures would be displayed in the book on the order that have been put in the book, but that does not work reliably.

    You can also start with a blank book and drag the photos of book one - by - one in the order of your choice.

    In other words, what I'm doing anyway.  I start with a blank book and add the photo I'm going from several albums. I create an album separate for each section and drag only the photos for the next pages of the book, so I can put it on the pages I want.
