Photos sorting

I just transferred all iPhotos to Photos. I have a lot of albums and I always change all photo titles to that they fit the album I am putting them in. iPhotos sorted perfectly by titles. PHOTOS does not.


I have spent a solid week making sure I have numbered them correctly so they sort correctly. Photos doesn't sort logically (at least normal human logic) It sorts all number 1's together (i.e. Cat 1, Cat 10, Cat 100) if you are lucky. Then it goes to 2. But it doesn't always follow this rule, sometimes it doesn't sort at all.


Logical sorting is numbers first, then alpha by a-z. Photos does it haphazardly.


Is Apple going to do anything about it?

You may want to use padded numbers in the titles - Cat 001, Cat 002, etc, to avoid the problem with the sorting titles. There is currently no way to make Photos sort differently.
