How can I alphabetize my folders in my library? I tried dragging and dropping, but most folders refuse to go where I want them to go, and I don't see any commands that would allow me to sort the folders. These are strictly family photos. But they just refuse to be alphabetized. Thanks!
Which version of Aperture do you have? In the newer versions of Aperture 3, (3.3. or later) you can sort your albums and projects using the Actions menu at the top of the Info panel - click the gears icon and select "Keep projects and albums arranged by ....".
Every project in your library can also by sorted like this by ctrl-clicking the project and using the contextual menu.

Thank you so very much! Aperture is, IMHO, rather complicated for someone who merely wants to organize her personal photos. I know there is much more it can do than what I've been doing with it, and complicated systems generally leave us non-techie users behind in the dust. But, yes, thank you, the gear icon was all I needed. I'm not sure why I never noticed it before. This is just wonderful! I couldn't seem to get the folders where I wanted them manually. I just can't thank you enough! Marilyn
You're welcome, Marilyn 🙂
If you think, Aperture is too powerful for your needs, and you want something simpler, have a look at the new Photos.app, that comes with MacOS X 10.10.3 or later for free: Photos Help
Aperture is much more powerful, but you can easily do the basic things in Photos, creating albums, adding titles, straighten the horizon, cropping, ....
Thank you! Marilyn
