Why aren't my photo albums in alpha order on AppleTV?

I have AppleTV 1. When I scan my iPhoto albums to select one to play a slideshow, the albums are not in the alphabetical order as in iPhoto. And, AppleTV shows some "albums" that are actually not albums at all - they are individual photos. Can anyone explain this? How can I get AppleTV to show all of my albums in alpha order?

MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.6.5), iPod Classic - Photo

Are you syncing events or albums, if for example your albums are in the order and you are actually syncing events or a combination then things might not look as though you think they should.


The Albums on my Apple TV are in the same order as they are in iPhoto.

I couldn't answer that with any guarantee, I don't share events with my Apple TVs. If as may be the case events aren't able to be listed in the same ways as albums, you might consider using Albums instead of events. I use them out of preference as they allow me to do a number of things that events don't, such as missing out photos or using the same photo in more than one album.
