Facebook pictures out of order?

I run into this issue every time I upload a new album into facebook through aperture. I recently uploaded an album of 188 pictures, and after it uploads to facebook, it changes the organization. I like the pictures being in the order that I took them, but somehow when uploading it gets completely rearranged. And every time I go into aperture facebook organizer, I select all images, reorganize by date, click on sync, and they get shuffled again. I have to do this about 10 times are so before the photos actually stay organized. But this time, it keeps messing up the order.

Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a way to make sure Facebook using the same photo order that Aperture uses? I'm tired of Aperture doing what facebook wants, instead of facebook doing what aperture wants.

Actually, what I would really like, is for there to be one-way communication instead of this two-way communication. In other words, whatever changes I make in Aperture, I want to happen to my Facebook account, and Facebook can not go back and update my Aperture album.

I get facebook changing my pics too. I have pics from years ago that all of a sudden they have yesterdays date and now they list as pictures taken yesterday in my aperture views. It is very annoying!!!

It does not only happen to Facebook, but to Flickr as well. It is really annoying as it changes my chronological order. Looking closer at the pictures I do not understand why. The date created shown at Flickr is correct, it is just sorted by the upload date for whatever reason. When Aperture syncs back it gets messy, because APERTURE changes the formerly upload date to be the date taken. This ***** and it is not supposed to happen.

But, older pictures uploaded do not show the effect. It is strange.

I had the same problem using Aperture (version 3.3.2) and found a solution!

If you go to the facebook album in your Aperture library (Library > WEB > Facebook). Open the album in which the pictures are out of sync. In the top you can set how you want the pictures sorted. As a default this was set to "manual" for me, I changed it to "date" and aperture started syncing. When the sync was complete the pictures were in the right order

This problem is also sending my mental! I changed the order to Album and Date....then it starts to sync all over again...but its as iff "Facebook Wins"....the annoying thing was, I had other albumbs correctly ordered and Aperture changed them, now I cant change them back. Its like Aperture wants manual setting only...or anohter setting...wasted hours of my life....again....

It takes so much time to sync "order"...you may as well have uploaded the entire album all over again. This is the 3rd time I've tried. Its also chaning the share settings...grrrr...

It just worked...but it took a few times. I also found what the "friend seeting problem was...go into apps in account settings on your facebook and change the settings for default.

I haven't uploaded to Facebook or Flicker.

Perhaps Facebook is ordering your photos by filename?

If you sort your photos in Aperture by filename, does it match the order you see on Facebook?
