Photos slideshow changes order of photos

I want to create a slideshow of an album.

When I click file->create->slideshow it creates a project and changes the order of the photos entirely, no matter what theme I have selected.

How I get the slideshow to display the pictures in the same order as the album?

Thanks,


Using Version 3.0 (3251.12.190) of photos

Try to create the slideshow from the contextual menu instead of from the file menu.

  • Select the sorted album with the photos in the sidebar.
  • Ctrl-click or right click or tap the album with two fingers.
  • Now select "Create > Slideshow"

For some reason this will preserve the order (at least for my albums in Photos 3.0) while using the file menu will not .
