    The viewed 'Sort Order' of files will depend on the App or Browser that you are using to view the files.

    eg. In LrC you have several options- Capture Time, File Name, etc.

    In Mac Finder you also have options for Sort Order- File Name, Date, etc.

    YOU decide the Sort order in each App!

    If you want to 'force' a specific Sort Order for Exported files, sort the originals first in LrC (eg. in a Collection by your 'Edited' criteria), then Export them with a Sequence Prefix (  01, 02, 03 etc), thus the Sequence will sort as [Filename sort] in any app.  (01_File1234,  02_File 4368,  03_File 4321,  04_File 1342, etc)

     

     

     

    Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.3, Photoshop 27.5, ACR 18.3, Lightroom 9.3, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.3 .
