Is it possible to change the way Photos is naming the memories? Basically, it is quite stupid to name it using Day-Month-Year order, since an export of the memories using the option "Create subfolder with the name of the memory" will export the pictures in a folder that cannot be sorted by date later on...

Let's say I have multiple memories of 2018 on the 1st day of each month, then the generated folder will be sorted as follows:

  • 1 April 2018
  • 1 March 2018
  • 1 September 2018
  • 2 January 2018
  • 2 April 2018

That's pretty annoying, isn't it?

Thanks for the help.

  • unfortunately that sorting works by using the first then second character, ie 1A, 1M, 1S, followed by 2, and not by actual date. It sorts by name not date

    That's precisely the problem, thanks for reformulating.

if you open the folder in Finder it can be made to list the date created. Open a finder window and click on the button that looks like a gear with the word action under it. The last entry is 'Show View Options'. You can click on this and you'll get a new pane where you can select what columns to display in a finder window. Be sure to select Date Created. You can then sort the files by date created and separate them however you see fit.

    No, that won't work. I am talking about Memory Album Export here, so basically Photos is creating new files and not in the correct order anyway, so this 'Date Created' won't do the trick.
