I've got an album that I want to sort by File Name which works fine on Desktop, but the order is wrong on mobile. Does anyone know how to get them to match?

On desktop the order is:

1.jpg

2.jpg

3.jpg

etc

 

On mobile the order is:

1.jpg

10.jpg

2.jpg

etc

I don't know why it does it ,something to do with the operating system I imagine.

 

However renaming files to be of the same length and using zeroes to fill up the space so xxx1.jpg becomes xxx01.jpg will prevent the 1,10,2 issue

 

Add as many zeroes as needed for your total number so if your highest number is 9999 you need 0001 to be first.

Lr classic cant rename with zeroes in front of starting number otherwise a good idea, but you will have to export first and rename in other application

You can do it, but you have to use roll panel and go to edit option in the renumber panel
