P: Custom sort order not synced from Ecosystem to Apple TV

I have several collections in Lightroom Classic on my desktop computer that are sorted in a custom order and sync to Lightroom Mobile. The order displays correctly in LR Mobile app on both my iPhone and iPad. But when I want to view the pictures on the LR app on apple tv, the sort order is not correct, even when i select "custom" on TV screen option next to the photos,

 

Any idea how to fix this? Thanks.

    Still not fixed, March, 2026.

     

    Ah, I see the alert:  Adobe Lightroom for Apple TV is no longer in development from January 4, 2022.

     

    Lr in the App Store hasn’t been updated since 2020.

        April 2023 and still not working on the app I loaded yesterday.

         

        It doesn't seem that I can use Lightroom Mobile with airplay to display the photos on my Apple TV.

         

        Bummer!

          That workaround does not work most of the time.

          Custom Sort Order in LR Mobile on Apple TV   still NOT WORKING. Bug reported four years ago, not fixed yet, Adobe is a disaster.

          Charlie D. sorry I never replied to this. I kind of gave up on it working and don't think I ever knew you had replied. This weekend, I installed the new LR app for Apple TV and I'm still having the same problem Nicholas is having below. Mostly the custom order works but there are a few photos--maybe 10-15 out of a collection of 350--that are gouped together at the end without rhyme or reason. I was hoping the new app would fix the problem but alas, not.

          Hi 'rickd93422'

          I'll make sure the engineering team is aware that this isn't nail down yet.  

          For the images that appear as a group, is there anything about them that distibguishes them from other images?  For examle, are they scanned images vs camera images?  Or has the metadata been modified in some way?

          I am experiencing the same problem.  Some of the issues of the custom sort order on Apple TV may be related to file type.

          Hi Rick

          Are you able to reproduce this issue on the update that was recently released?

          Hi Robert

          Sorry for the delayed response.  Just so I'm clear, you still see the wrong sort order even if you choose the Custom sort option as described here: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/view-lightroom-photos-collections-apple-tv.html#sort-filter ?

          (The option is listed in the Sort Order button with 3 lines)
