Re: How do you sort out your collections?

If you have renamed the folders to start with YYYY-MM-DD, that will automatically put them in chrono order in the list. But Excel can sort them for you anyway, once they're in the sheet.

I don't see any way of renaming them other than one-by-one, but what I would do is take the whole folder as it is now, make a filelist.txt of it, edit that txt file so that each line, still in the same order as the folder, is edited to the format you want, then copy/paste each line in sequence to the sub-folder names.

Really appreciate your answer and thanks for the useful tips. I just searched for the app "filelist" and I got results of many different apps, is it this you're talking about?
