I am running Adobe Photoshop 2017.0.1 on a new Imac. In Bridge 2017 7.0.0.93, I can't get the "sort by" option to stay on "by filename". It

jumps to "by date created". "by filename" is supposed to be the default, but I can't make it stay there.

That's hysterical! Set to by "File Name, I'm trying to set a default for "Date Created" in Bridge, of which the weird numbering of the camera is of no use to me (except opening photos in an Apple window, which lists the last photo first and is totally annoying. You have to use "by file name" to get the first photos listed first—understand?).

"It's a 2025 grind; and still no answer I can find; Adobe! Adobe! your act is blind and driving me out of my MIND!"

Oh yes! One more goodie. After renaming a photo, Bridge moves it to the bottom of the window, and one has to scroll down to find it. This is a genuine unhelp when working with 300 photos! Get it? Hello? Anyone here take the challenges of these inquiries?

If sort order doesn't stick (whichever one), it's corrupt Bridge preferences. Hold ctrl+alt when launching to reset.

Set sort order to manual when renaming files. Then they stay in the same place.

I wonder? I had problems with Bridge (beta) sort yesterday. It refused point blank to do what I wanted it to do, and all I was trying to do was sort by date modified with newest at the top.
