I want my photos to be in order by capture time in Lightroom Online. This is where I typically share my photos with people. I know I can sort by date and organize the photos like I want them, but I take photos of sports events and want them to be in order by time. And I do not want to sort 200 photos. My work flow is that I will download images to a folder on my desktop and upload to Lightroom Online. If anytone can help I would SOSOSO apprecaite it!

I'm not following you here. You say you can sort by date, but you want them sorted by time....but in the Lightroom world sort by date is the same as sort by time. Or do you literally mean you want images that may have been taken over multiple dates to be sorted by the time of capture while ignoring the date of capture, e.g. a picture taken at 20.01 on day 1 would be listed after a picture taken at 20.00 on day 9? If so, that can't be done automatically in Lightroom, you would have to set a custom order manually.

 

In your workflow, where are you downloading the images from that you store on the desktop prior to uploading to Lightroom Online (I assume you mean the Lightroom Web application)?

Here is an example.  I just shot a wedding, and I used two cameras.  (quicker than swapping lenses).  I imported the files into Lightroom off two seperate memory cards.  The File Names are all intermixed from both cameras, and I would like to see the images in chronological order, as I synced the camera clocks before the wedding.

    This is what I need to find out as well.  I need to know how to sort by time capture because there were two separate cameras used in a wedding I shot.

     


    Step one is to sync the time on both cameras before starting to shoot. This
    is even more important if there is a second shooter.
