P: Import order

Dear Adobe Lightroom Team,

I am writing to complain about a long-standing issue with Lightroom Mobile on Android: imported photographs are displayed from the last shot to the first shot by default.

For photographers working through an actual shoot, this is backwards. If I photograph a sequence from image 001 through image 500, I expect Lightroom to show me 001 first and allow me to work forward through the shoot chronologically. Instead, Lightroom shows the newest photograph first, forcing me to select Reverse Order.

The bigger problem is that Lightroom does not provide a proper global preference to make chronological, oldest-to-newest sorting my permanent default. I have been dealing with this behaviour for a very long time, and having to repeatedly reverse the order is an unnecessary frustration in an otherwise excellent mobile photography workflow.

I specifically use Lightroom Mobile/Cloud and do not want Lightroom Classic to be the solution. Lightroom Mobile should be capable of remembering how a photographer wants their photographs displayed.

Please add a global setting such as:

Default Photo Sort:

- Oldest to Newest

- Newest to Oldest

Once selected, that preference should remain consistent across albums, imports, All Photos, and future Lightroom Mobile sessions unless the user deliberately changes it.

This seems like a very small preference to add, but for photographers processing entire shoots in capture order, it would make a significant difference to the Lightroom Mobile experience.

Thank you for considering this request.

Respectfully,

Adrian
