Photos slideshow changes order of photos

Thanks solved frustrating problem !

You're welcome 🙂

Thank you from me too.

What I can't understand is that Apple reads all these comments and has not done anything to fix this bug.

Why would anyone design a system with random ordering of the slides????

It should never have gotten beyond alpha testing.

Perhaps it is considered as an unimportant, missing feature and not as a bug. The user guide is not mentioning the sorting of photos in a slideshow at all anywhere, when we add photos to a slideshow. The same happens, when we create calendars or books, btw, or when we create a shared album from selected photos. The photos can get mixed up.

I wish, we could make the developers understand, that the sequence of photos can be important and should be preserved. When we want to tell a story, the photos should not be shuffled randomly.

Hello, you can also view photos on Mac in a slideshow continuously here. The order of photos will not change randomly. Just collect all photos in a folder. Then you can open that folder to view all photos quickly. Hope it can solve your question.

I not just want to view the slides in sequence by name. I set the sequence in an ALBUM folder in photos.

To keep this sequence select and control click the album, then create slideshow as a project.

Sorry, I put the wrong link. Actually, you can click this to get that photo slideshow viewer on Mac.

Worked perfectly. Thanks so much!

Does not work for me at all. The first 50 are in order and then it goes crazy. All out of order. So frustrating that something this basic is even an issue.

I tried from within the file and the right click pop out menu. Nothing.

this did help. the slideshow is created and displays in correct photo sequence but how do I change slideshow options - like speed of the display? I can't seem to figure out how to bring up the option panel that is available when you create slideshow the other way

When you create a slideshow project you can customize the speed and the transitions with the duration settings. Click the duration settings button at the right border of the Photos window. The button looks like a stop watch:

thank you very much for responding. I do know how you can set slideshow speed from within Projects, but issue with Projects is I cannot control the sequence of the slides, it is random. The workaround for this is to create an Album and right click to run Slideshow. The choices are not the same from this method, you can only select theme or music, right. Are you able to control the slide sequence when you run slideshow from within Projects?

here is screenshot -

I am using this method to create slideshow projects from an album, see : How to turn an Album into a Slideshow and Preserve the Sorting

We must not use the file menu to create a slideshow project. That seems to be broken. Instead ctrl-click the album in the sidebar and use the create command there to create the project from the album. That is working for me.
