P: Custom Order lost with slight accidental movement of thumbnail in filmstrip

Ok, I'm confused. You said "This setting is held indefinitely until I next edit in Photos, and then reverts to Custom Order." so could you clarify your steps please?

All images are RAW, downloaded direct from my Nikon D750, into folders on my Mac.  I then import into Lr.  The Apple photos app does not feature in this process.  (iPhone photos are Airdropped into the same folder system and imported into Lr if and as required, but this is a rarity)

Photos? As in the Mac Photos app, rather than Photoshop? How is the photo getting there?



I keep setting it to Capture Time after each Photos edit.  This setting is held indefinitely until I next edit in Photos, and then reverts to Custom Order.  I have had a rebuild of my Mac recently, fresh install of software, and it still happens

Just to double check - have you confirmed the sort order is set to capture date, and not to custom order?

I can't replicate it either, and we're not seeing an influx of reports. Of course that doesn't mean it's not happening to you, but bugs that can't be reproduced are almost impossible to fix.

Still happening - I would have thought Adobe would have sorted this by now.  Every time I edit is Photos the edited photo gets to the end of the set of images in the folder. Why is this happening ?

No additional plugins for mine either, always keep CC updated. This has happened since I started with LR3, I just never figured it was only when Editing in Photoshop. Thought it happened when switching between "Develop" and "Library" modes occasionally too but I could be wrong. Images become mixed into a very random order.

I have the very latest updates of both LR & Ps with no plugins what so ever.  Just the pure programmes/software.  Bizarrely it doesn't happen every time I edit an image or combined images/layers in Ps - so making it harder to track down a trigger for this issue

This is still happening to me despite several LR updates.  For such a common problem Adobe seem to be ignoring it.  It is not a major issue, but very irritating having to re-set the order event time Ps is used

I've seen this in the past with a few badly written plugins, but never with Photoshop. I always assumed that it happened because the plugin somehow altered the capture time, so the image that was returned to Lightroom had a different capture time than the one Lightroom sent. This would trigger the sort order change. Does this perhaps happen when you apply some third-party Photoshop plugin as part of your edits?
