Elements Organiser (2018) Media View, sort by shot date

Report · Mar 18, 2018

Hi there,

new user to Adobe and generally first time in video editing. I have bulk uploaded several locations to elements organiser and i simply want to be able to view all my media in relation to date taken. From the menus available it allows me to sorts by newest/oldest however it only organises by import date not date taken. Any advice is what i am looking for is possible in elements organiser? NB i am using premiere elements with organiser.

If i am click the events or locations tab, it seems to organise in this manner which is a kind of work around.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

My first day also with the program and after importing my 86,498 photos and videos I am having the same sort of problem with photos, let alone videos.

With it set to "All Media" and "Sort By Newest" I myself would expect the first photo (top left of grid) to be the newest photo taken.

However, it is not. Instead it seems to be the first/oldest photo of the last batch of photos taken 16/3/2018 10:42 then 16/3/2018 10:43

Scrolling down it seems to do the same thing for the next batch of photos taken.

Is this the strange way Premiere Elements 2018 works, am I missing a setting or is it a bug?

I think its just the way Organiser works. Having spoken to people in other forums it seems to be that elements organiser cannot handle this the organisation by shot date which is a shame.

I went through my uploaded content and assigned an "event" to this and will work with organising my projects based on this way.

Good luck!
