Sort by {date}
« on: March 02, 2010, 04:13:37 PM »
I have a folder with approximately 1000 images taken with several different cameras over several years. I want to be able to sort them by the date embedded in the IPTC data (which is almost universally accurate in each image) However, PM sorts them by using the date embedded into the EXIF data, which is largely inaccurate in my case due to date errors in the cameras. Can this be fixed? Thanks

There shouldn't be anything to fix.  Use {iptcdate} instead of {date} if you want to sort by IPTC date.
