Hi,
This is driving me crazy.... Maybe someone has an answer....
I have a lot of folders on my Mac full of RAW and JPG files downloaded from different digital cameras over the years. I have each of the folders named indicating subject, camera and date.
I am downloading these folders onto an external RAID Drive where they will live permanently.
I am starting with a clean slate and LightRoom5 and want to import these RAW & JPG files into LR5.
I would like the files to import into LR5 so that the folders with the earliest capture dates display in chronological order from oldest to newest
Question: when importing files in named folders will the library sort and display the folders by the date on which the folders and the files they contain were imported into LR5 or will the folders be sorted and displayed by the date contained in the EXIF information attached to the files IN the folders?
Thanks.
