I want to create a slideshow of certain photos, but when creating the folder I only have the option to arrange by oldest or newest first. I want to have the photos in a shuffled manner, not related by date of the photos. And with 100+ photos I hope not to rearrange manually.
iMac 27″, macOS 10.15
I am using an Apple Script to shuffle the photos in an album randomly, when I want to shuffle them for a random slideshow:
A quick and dirty way to see selected albums as a random slideshow is to collect the photos in an album and to use this album as the source of the screensaver. The Screensaver can shuffle the photos.
Only, in the most recent system versions the screensaver has a bug and can no longer show the edited versions. When you use a Photos album as the source, you will be seeing the unmodified originals.
It might be better to export the photos for your slideshow to a folder in the Finder and to use the folder as the source for the Screensaver. Then you can use third-party screensavers like the free ArtSaver to show your photos shuffled and with titles, dates, locations: http://www.cs.uni-bremen.de/~zach/software/ArtSaver/index.html

Hi elkriverken,
You can reorder photos by dragging them into the order you want them in the bottom of the window while creating your slideshow, but there isn't an option to select shuffle. You can learn more: Create slideshows in Photos on Mac

Regards.
So in other words, not possible to shuffle photos?
Which is pretty much exactly what these words mean:

How can I shuffle photos in Apple Photos on my Mac
