Sorting photos by orientation

[PeterAit]

Is there a way to sort a collection so that all portrait orientation photos end up in one group and all landscape orientation photos end up in another group? I want to print them separately, using different page layout options. Thanks.

Create a smart collection with Aspect Ratio as Landscape and another one with the Aspect Ratio as Portrait - very simple

Thanks! I figured that LR would make it easy.

Is it also possible to create a smart collection from a specific folder and not from the whole catalog?

Sure -- add the rule "Folder [Name] ... Contains ... yourfoldername" to the Smart Collection rule set.

you can also just use the metadata filter drop down

If you do this, you will find that "square" is also an orientation.

After hitting on 7 forums (including Adobe's) when I searched for the answer to this, you are the first person to actually explain properly how to achieve this. Thank you.
