P: Custom sort or latest chosen sort option is not persistent

I still see problems here. I am using Lighroom for Android version 8.1.2.

Two problems:

1. The DEFAULT sort order of images in an album viewed on LRMobile for Android is reverse chronological, when it should (in my opinion) be normal chronological. Album images are sorted correctly in chronological order when viewed in LR Web, LR Classic, and LR Desktop.

2. The sort order in LR Android can be corrected by going to the "three dots" menu and flipping the "reverse" switch. However this change is not "sticky" - it resets to the wrong order again after force-quitting the app.

Greetings,

The Max 2021 Photography products updates have been released and include remedies for this topic.  The updates will be rolling out worldwide, October 26 and 27, 2021. If you do not see the updates in your Creative Cloud Desktop app, you can refresh the apps to see if the updates are available in your region.  The keyboard shortcut to refresh is [Cmd/Ctrl] + [Opt/Alt] + [ R ]. 

Note: iOS and Android updates may take up to a week to appear in your App Store.

Thank you for your patience.

Thanks Rikk and Happy New Year!

Yep, we already have a bug logged, Todd.  I will update this thread.

@durham1 I am also seeing the same issue on my Android Samsung Note Pro 12.2 tablet using the version LR Mobile For Android 6.1 with LrC 10.1. I have numerous albums created in LrC that all have Custom Sort Order. The sort order in the Web app at https://lightroom.adobe.com/ matches what I see in LrC 10.1. When I check my Samsung tablet all of the albums are sorted by Capture Time. If I go into each album and change the Sort Order from Capture time to Custom the sort order matched what I see in LrC 10.1 and the Web app. However, if I close LR onmy tablet or power it off the sort order reverts to Capture Time same as what you are seeing. I'm not sure when this changed, but I did not have the issue with older versions.

Rikk, is this something Adobe Engineering is aware of and working on?

Thank you for the update and the fix, I am not seeing the issue since the update.

Since a recent update, LR Mobile on iOS ignores Custom Sort order set for collection synced from LR Classic on Windows PC. If I manually select Custom Order, the change doesn’t stick. Next time I open LR Mobile, the collection is back to Sort by Capture Time default. Same issue on both iPhone and iPad. 

In LR for IOS, all albums fail to respect my required sort order which is “Sort by capture date (descending)”. LR always goes back to ascending order after new photos are added 

Please help
