MacBook Pro - Photos out of order when transferring to easystore

Hi

In the photos app, select the images you want to export. (you can select all the images in an album - or just some of them, or you can select multiple albums in a folder.

Then go to the file menu and choose "file>export>export unmodified original for nn photos" (where nn is the number of photos you've slected). You then choose a folder to put them in. Note, you cannot create subfolders based on the album name, but you can choose subfolders based on the "moment name" which will give you dated subfolders.

Bear in mind when you drag/drop, you are only transferring the preview image. This will be lower quality, and might even be lower resolution than the original.

Be aware the dates shown in the photos app are not the file dates, they are the content created dates in the exif metadata - they are two different sets of data.

How are you transferring to the hard disk? Drag drop? File>export?

Try file>export unmodified original. This should give you an exact copy of the original file, including file creation date.

Depending on how the mp4 and png files were created they may have file dates that don't match the content created dates. Or it may just be that photos is not correctly restoring the file date correctly.

If you want to rename the files, you could try album name with number. You might then be able to sort by filename, and get the order you want in the folder. You will also get a name based on the album the photos are in.
