Seems I have misled the Surpreme Counsel of wise men (Ladies included), so will try to more precisely articulate my intentions:.
I am trying (with a newly imported set of 316 images from an outside LR-Folder loaded Library) to:
1. Place them in a specific order/sequence according to Date & Time. Reason being that when they are Viewed later (outside LR on a Digital Photoframe or whatever), the sequence tells a much improved Story.
2. Once in that Order/Sequence, I will do some refining in DEVELOP.
3. Then when I have that task finished, I wish to EXPORT them to a Folder on my C Drive AND a further Copy to 2 other Externasl Storage Devices as backup.
My major struggle right now is with placing these Images in the sequence.
They appear to be ruled by a Numerical Sequence (overriding the Date & Time to some extent) - see Screen Shot below.
My latest idea (maybe mad ... ?) is to (a.) Export all the Images as they are right now to a FOLDER on C Drive, using a new Numerical Order
(b.) Then when certain they are there safe and sound - Erase all Images from LR.
(c.) Re-IMPORT them into LR hoping that they will now be in a better sequence,
or at least not driven by the Numbering Sequence (I clearly fouled up with earlier ... !!)
Me thinks, this Numerical Sequence is at root of my problem ...... !
Massive thank you to you all
