iPad photo sort order changed with iOS 5

I've just had an update to the bug that I filed with Apple about this, the update says that this problem is fixed in the iTunes 10.6.3 GM

The iPad now sorts the photos by 'date modified' for some strange reason.

Easy way around this if the photos are still on your PC is

Download and install PictureGo (http://www.picturego.nl/)

Start PictureGo and right click on the folder containing the photos

Select 'Reset file dates to picture date taken' (tick 'include subfolders' if there are any)

Start itunes and untick sync photos, select remove photos at pop-up box prompt and apply

Check that photos have gone from iPad

Resync photo folder and the photos should now be back and in date and time order

Forgot to mention, firstly delete 'ipad photo cache' folder from inside photos folder on the PC if it exists

Not sure what you mean.

I find that when I sync smart folders from Aperture on my Mac to my iPad or iPhone, it's iPhoto for iOS that doesn't display them in chronological order. Bug?

It's so stupid that you have to do that - why not just have an option? But hey, it worked, and for that, I'm very grateful BillfromBenicia

This worked for me too. Definitely still a bug, but at least I now have a workaround. Thanks for that.

This is completely unnecessary if you are using lightroom. Just remove the EXIF data on export and name the images sequentially.
