Ii want to create a slideshow with 2 albums and keep photos in the same order as they are. the photos always get mixed up when I try to creat a slideshow. I made sure the name of the photos are consecutive and I tried changing some of the metadata so they stay in order but no help. Help anyone?
MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14
Try the method described here: How to turn an Album into a Slideshow and preserve the sorting
When you use the file menu to create a slideshow from selected photos, the resulting slideshow may have a different sorting.
Try to create the slideshow from the contextual menu instead of from the file menu.
For some reason this will preserve the order (at least for my albums in Photos 3.0) while using the file menu will not .
It is not easy to rearrange the photos once they are in the strip with the slides. The more elaborate slideshow themes have a fixed order of templates, and Photos wants to select the photos in a way best fitting for the predefined templates. I am only using the slideshow themes with only one photo per slide, Ken Burns and Classic. That has the added benefit, that the animations will not distract the audience from watching my photos.

I updated the User Tip to include Photos 4.0. The new link is here:

Thank you so much for responding. This does indeed work. You have saved me a lot of time and a lot of aggravation as I am dealing with around 500 photos. So grateful, Marianne.
My pleasure, Marianne 😊
