Photos out of order in Events after iOS 8 update

You are right, the event will be in the same order as you sync them. However Apple tricks you! You can sync the event in such a way that the lastest event comes on top and the oldest are in the low end. However few days later you want to add one more new event. Guess where it goes? No, not on top as you would expect but it will be the lowest end, were your oldest event are.

The best solution? Throw the photo app in to a obscure window on your phone with the other standard useless app which cannot be deleted from the phone, sync all you want of the photos. Go to iTunes store and by the PhotoSync app for $ 3, once install on your iPhone, allow access to photos and PRESTO, all your photos are in excellent order on your phone ready for viewing.

sadly this doesn't seem to work with iphoto which is what this thread is supposed to be all about. I won't let me select the iphoto library on my Mac. The app seems more geared towards getting images off your IOS device and onto you Mac. The problem is in the other direction where we are trying to sync with iphoto and have the Events we have created in iphoto appear on out IOS devices sorted in Event title order. If this magic app can do that then I'd love to know how, otherwise I have just wasted $3.

It doesn't sort all my Events into title order sadly. Recently created ones appear at the end. A promising step forwards though. Come on Apple, some of us are photographers who want to keep surrogate images on out IOS devices to show people, whilst keeping the masters on our Mac (and not in the iCloud) because they are up to 60MB each and in my case there are more than 40,000

What you have to do is first sync the photos normally using the iTunes, You select the the event, album etc and let let the sync run. After you have done the sync and dowloaded the PhotoSync App, the app will request access to you photos. Once you give that access, the PhotoSyncs show all your photos. For just view, fiddle about the app until the View or Eye function shows up, select the View and off you go.

The only bad thing about this app discovered so far is the quality of photos. If you enlarge them using the fingers, you will she a major difference in quality compared with the standard Apple App. Apple clearly does not give devlopers all the good tricks.

Much better, thanks for that. But.... It doesn't fully sort the Events, adding recently created ones at the end just like Exphotos does which is probably better than Photosync and free..

I just synced event already renamed like 2014 10 ( oktober 2014) and since I just started to used today I have not come across things like you mentioned yet. Perhaps the APP is using numeric or alphanumeric method to sort, and " resently added " does not fit the sorting.

I am sure we are going to see many Photo Apps aiming to sort out this problem, Apple has done them a great favor on our cost.

I think you are right. It is also interesting that the original filename is preserved (you can see that using the Exphotos app. Such a shame you cant search by image name in IOS. Apple have really been slack in looking after their pro photography users. Thanks for your help.

..and an even more basic question - after installing the new Photos app (10.10.3) and iOS 8.3, can you still sync photos at all using iTunes (and NOT use the new iCloud library)??

Hey!

Just updated to iOS 8.3 and OS X 10.10.3, and now my Aperture projects sync properly in the correct order, i.e. the same as in Aperture.

Finally they repaired it, wow!

I've updated to IOS 8.3 and my faces are still out of order.

Also the faces appear in alphabetical order on my iPad.

Just resynced once after having updated OS X and iOS.
