By Date/Time Sort: Project Asset Import

[Di Hansen]

Is there a way to import Project Assets (video files, in this case) into the PRE interface so they stay in Date/Time order, instead of listing by name?

My files are sorted by date and time on my hard drive folder. Upon importing them into a project, they are listed by name order. I can rename them within the folder, but I'd rather not do that (with 100+ files) if there is a better & more efficient method of import.

Is there a button on the PRE12 interface I can click to reorganize/re-list the files?

Thanks!
Di

Strangely, this is a feature that was removed in recent versions of the program.

Bummer! I see you can sort by name, but that is not very helpful most of the time!

Thanks for your response!

One program worth looking into is DV Date.

It's a free download that will rename your files based on their timecode or date, which will allow you to sort by date by sorting by name.

will that help?
