IPhone – How to get photos to sync in order on iPhone

data synchronizationiphonephotos

I understand how to sync photos to my iPhone but they seem to be placed on the phone in a rather random order. I've tried numerous changes to the photos but they don't appear to be organized by date, size, or alphabetically by name. Am I missing something?

They are sorted in order of EXIF creation date, which is not necessarily the same as the Date Created shown by the finder.

You can use exiftool to view and also set these dates to sort your images...

exiftool -overwrite_original_in_place -CreateDate="2008:12:18 12:34:56.78"  MyImage.JPG
