Photos out of order in Events after iOS 8 update

I Am so tired of organizing my thousands of photos into files so Apple can put them in a mixer and jumble them up.

i try to show a picture from a file for a "holiday in Italy" to someone and it is hidden in a file named "moving damage".

I'm glad apple support was honest to Harry, but I'd much prefer a fix.

IS samsung this messed up?

I am having the exact same problem. I have the iPhone 5, and after I upgraded to iOS 8 my events in photos are all out of order. I sync photos from iPhoto on my MacBook Pro. I even stopped synching photos through iTunes, had it delete all photos on my iPhone, then re-synced all of my photos and the events are still out of order. I hope someone has a fix for this.

iPhone 5, with iOS 8

OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

iPhoto (9.5.1)

I am having the same problem. I just called apple support and they said there is no fix for this. I have hundreds of events, some are collections of photos over many years. I have a sinking feeling this is the beginning of the end of "events" going to have to reorganize all of my photos. ANGRY

iphoto.

Apple has been moving away from events and pushing collections and moments, I just have a sinking feeling that they are going to keep pushing people away from creating events.

Same issue here. Hopefully Apple acknowledges this quickly and pushes a fix. Events are the main way I organize my photos. I don't see any advantage to the Moments and Collections thing since the user has no control over how they're put together. I honestly don't understand why Apple is even pushing those...it would be the same thing as doing away with playlists in Music and only allowing Genius. Makes no sense to take such a fundamental control away from users.

I have the exact same problem, in addition, the photos app on iPhone 5S and iPad Air seems quite laggy and stuttery.

It would suck if Apple tried to get rid of Events, just a few years back they took center stage in iPhoto and the Photos app.Because of that, I switched my organisation from albums to events and really started to like that.

It was a lot of work, but now works perfectly for me. Collections and Moments can not replace that, as their algorithms are simply not that good. Besides, they are useless on iOS so far because with photos synced via iTunes and Photostream activated there are a lot of duplicates - and have been since day 1 of iOS 7.

The exact same thing happened on the ios6 update, I seem to remember - did get fixed in the end, but you would have thought lesson learnt. Events, I agree with many posters here, are by far the best way to organise photos.

I have the exact same issue as well, both on my iPad 3 and iPhone 5. And I do remember of the exact same issue happening during a previous iOS update (probably iOS6 as the previous poster indicated). To me this is just one of those major ****-ups that one shouldn't expect to see in a new iOS release. Obviously iOS8 hasn't gone through enough internal testing. Hope it's fixed with 8.0.1.

...same here guys...not the first time actually! i remember having had the same sort of veeery unpleasent troubles after updating to ios6 or even ios7...guess they'll fix the problem soon, i just do not understand how is possible that apple is not able to avoid this...EVERY TIME!

...well, let's see...

Major bug... If you sync your photos (organized in iPhoto events) from your mac - the events end up in a totally random sort sequence on your iOS device. I have Mac iPhoto events sorted by date descending... worked fine with iOS 7.x (that is the iOS device showed events in the same sort). After upgrading to iOS8, my iOS device events are "sorted" in a totally random way - not by date, not by name, just scrambled. Makes the use of the Albums/events view on the iOS device useless. I'm switching back to iOS7 until it's fixed...

Me too - hopefully Apple will get this fixed ASAP !!
