P: When trying to add files to Collections I get this error: ?:0: attempt to compare two nil values

I just installed LrC 10 and when I went to add images to a target collection, I get the following error: ?:0: attempt to compare two nil values.  This is really holding me up organizing my photo book.  Please help.

A work around. If you make a selection and then hover over the destination collection folder, right click and Add selected photo to this collection. It works for me after I get this error.

Though very slow, everything else seems to be working, though if I try to make a quick collection in any way, it says an internal error has occured.

"A problem may be that a lot of them are imported from phone pictures sent to me, and have lost capture time and other metadata"

Try Sort: File Name instead -- perhaps that will work for you.

Thank you! Mine are all in 'Capture time' anyway. I've tried changing to Custom or something else and then back to Capture time - makes no difference.. A problem may be that a lot of them are imported from phone pictures sent to me, and have lost capture time and other metadata

@KateW   I've had this problem and it was recommended to go to View>Sort and check "Capture Time".  I did this and it resolved my problem putting images into Collections.  The original instructions are on this thread.  Thanks to member.

I have had this problem repeatedly. The suggested workarounds don't work. I have found that I can get over the problem by creating a new collection, copying all the images in the faulty collection into the new one, and then you can add to it.

I've been working on quite a big book for Blurb in the Book module. I've had quite a few crashes, especially when I try to move from the Book module to Develop. Again, very delaying and annoying.

This is just too bad. I used to love Lightroom and recommend it heartily to all my photo friends.

I just changed the sort order on the quick collection to capture time and that did work.
