Photo sort order changed with ios 6

I just updated my iPad to the new IOS just released and I noticed that the sort order for the photos is now different. I had them set so that the first picture (shown on the album) was a depiction of the contents. Now it is no more.


Does anybody know the new sort order?

iPad 2, iOS 6

Me too! It's infuriating!!! I spent hours ordering my photos by date, and now this!?! AGAIN!!! I'm so mad! Every time I update my iPhone/iPad the photos & videos go out of wack! What sort order can they possibly think makes more sense than date?


All my videos seem to be at the top now, sorted separately from my pics?


.....my folders however seem OK, as they were, it's just the main 'photos' folder that seems to be affected!

Forgive me but I am totally lost here.


I do not use a Mac. I have a PC running Win7.


I have a directory called IPAD-PIX and in that is different directories that contain the photos that my itunes sends to the ipad when connected. Each directory is a subject. Vacation to x place, christmas, mountain trip. trip to the fair, etc. Some are just of a particular person. I have them all sorted by file name in windows and this has always been the way they were sorted on the ipad. The first photo in the list was used as the folder/album image on the ipad. Now while they are still in their appropriate folder/album on the ipad, they are no longer sorted by file name.


How would I go about getting them so they are sorted by name again?

We're you able to change these file attributes for pictures already in iPhoto, or did you have to change the originals and reimport them back into iPhoto? If the latter is the case, that would be a nightmare for over 4,000 pictures and several hundred events...


Also, I'm wondering if I might regret later on losing this information about my photos.
