Hi

on import I used to make a second copy option to a second hard drive. but when I try to import from that hard drive the folders are all sorted by the days of the week. IE all The Saturdays together, and so on.
 how can I make this so the folders are sorted by date?
Thanks

I might suggest you think about the "second copy option" as a temporary "Second copy", and instead make backup copies of the Import Destination folders after an import and so maintain a 'mirrored' folder heirarchy.

These 'second copy' folders are fairly useless if it comes to restoring a catalog, so they serve very little , if any, purpose. Just do not format a camera card until a full 'Destination' folder backup has completed. (Using other backup App).

And you should NOT be trying to Import from any 'Second Copy' folders anyway.
