Thanks Paul!Take your time.I'm glad you gave me a hope. Could you please try this code Pedro and see if it works...//.BridgeSort format#target bridgeif( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) { var sortCameras = new MenuElement( "command","Sort Cameras", "at the end of Tools" , "sortCameras" );}sortCameras.onSelect = function () { var fileSort = new File(app.document.presentationPath +"/.BridgeSort");if(fileSort.exists) fileSort.remove();var fileList=[];app.document.deselectAll();var items = app.document.getSelection ("cr2,crw");for (var a in items){if(items.type != "file") continue;var md = items.synchronousMetadata;md.namespace = "http://ns.adobe.com/exif/1.0/aux/"; var Serial = md.SerialNumber.toString();fD = File(items.spec).created;var FileDate = fD.getFullYear() + (fD.getMonth() +1).toString(); FileDate += (zeroPad(fD.getDate(),2).toString()) + (zeroPad(fD.getHours(),2).toString());FileDate += (zeroPad(fD.getMinutes(),2).toString()) + (zeroPad(fD.getSeconds(),2).toString()); fileList.push([[items.name],[Serial],[FileDate]]);}fileList.sort();fileList.sort(function(a,b){return a[1]-b[1];}).reverse();app.document.sorts = [{ type:"string",name:"name", reverse:false }];fileSort.open("w", "TEXT", "????");$.os.search(/windows/i) != -1 ? fileSort.lineFeed = 'windows' : fileSort.lineFeed = 'macintosh';fileSort.encoding = "UTF-8";fileSort.writeln("");fileSort.writeln("");fileSort.writeln("");for(var t in fileList){ fileSort.writeln(""); }fileSort.writeln("");fileSort.writeln("");fileSort.close();fileSort.hidden=true;app.document.chooseMenuItem("mondo/command/new");app.documents[0].close();app.document.sorts = [{ name:"user",type:"date", reverse:false }];function zeroPad(n, s) { n = n.toString(); while (n.length < s) n = '0' + n; return n; };};

I would love to know how to do a custom sort!

One way would be to create Collections for each camera....

#target bridge
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {  
var groupCameras = new MenuElement( "command","Group Cameras", "at the end of Tools" , "groupCameras" );
}
groupCameras.onSelect = function () { 
var items = app.document.getSelection ("cr2");
Cameras=[];
for (var a in items){
if(items.type != "file") continue;
var md = items.synchronousMetadata;
md.namespace = "http://ns.adobe.com/exif/1.0/aux/"; 
var Serial = md.SerialNumber.toString();
if(Serial != '') Cameras.push(Serial);
}
Cameras = ReturnUniqueSortedList(Cameras).sort();
for(var x in Cameras){
var foundFiles = app.createCollection(Cameras);
for (var a in items){
if(items.type != "file") continue;
var md = items.synchronousMetadata;
md.namespace = "http://ns.adobe.com/exif/1.0/aux/"; 
if(Cameras == md.SerialNumber.toString()){
    app.addCollectionMember(foundFiles,items);
    }
    }
}
function ReturnUniqueSortedList(ArrayName){
var unduped = new Object;
for (var i = 0; i < ArrayName.length; i++) {   
unduped[ArrayName] = ArrayName;
}
var uniques = new Array;
 for (var k in unduped) {
   uniques.push(unduped);
   }
return uniques.sort();
}
}
