Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have an album of photos in iPhoto v9.5.1 which I want to share using the iCloud shared photo stream. I've carefully sorted the photos in the album. But when I create and send the invite for the shared photo stream, it automatically re-orders the photos by date and greys out in the menu all other sorting orders. In other words it entirely ignores the work I put into creating the sort order.
Is there a fix?
Sorry - not possible - iCloud is currently only sorted by date
suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

Apple does not support any tool to create an online photo gallery any longer since Apple dropped Mobile Me and iWeb.
For a short time, with iPhoto on iOS, it was possible to publish slideshows as web albums and web journals. The iOS 8 upgrade killed that too.
It cannot be done using Shared albums in any convenient way.
If you still have Aperture or iPhoto you export a HTML version of your albums a web page and copy the HTML files to a hosting service for web pages - your Dropbox, or the FTP server of your provider.
Thank you léonie ! This is very helpful. Also, is there a way to export photos from the Photos library (with titles, keywords, and descriptions as well as all Exif data) and convert the Folders and Albums into directories and subdirectories in the Pictures folder in Finder? I notice when I choose the Subfolder format from the drop down menu in the export dialog box that it doesn't give the option of "Albums". It will only permit to select one album at a time anyway.
In order to put context to my question please let me explain. My goal is to export my entire Photo library into folders and subfolders with the same hierarchy that are set up in Albums. I think one of the difficulties is that my Aperture projects were converted to Albums when I switched to Photos. That seems to be where I lost most functionality because I did not use Albums in Aperture, I used Projects for organizing my photos. So if the conversion gave me the option of converting Projects to Moments, I would have been a little better off.

Try one of the scripts in the user Tip section: https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/photos_osx/content?filterID=conte ntstatus%5Bpublished%5D~objecttype~objecttype%5Bdocument%5D
This script will export the photos to folders named like the album: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-9561
Thank you. I notice that you help a lot of people in the support communities. It's very kind of you. Thanks again.
You're welcome 🙂
I'm trying to give back to the community what I learned from our members here.
