Erx: Lightroom 2nd Copy folders - Improve sorting
The “Make a Second Copy To” function in the import dialogue box, creates a folder to hold a 2nd copy of imports during the current session. In my view, a powerful safety feature that seems to get little recognition. Anyway, the feature request is in relation to the naming of these folders. The naming doesn’t lend itself to sorting making it difficult to find images. For example LrC, will typically label a 2nd Copy folder as, “Imported on Monday, 9 March 2026”.
This will sort firstly alphabetically by the day name, then numerically by day date, then alphabetically by month and lastly numerically by year. This could be easily fixed by changing the folder naming to, “Imported on YYYY-MM-DD”.
