Copying photos by capture time

[pelevick]

I am a event photographer and after  shoot, have three cards from three cameras.
PM is on my PCs (Windows 7 or Windows 10).  The images load by capture time, and the images rotate.  But when I try to burn them to a disc or copy them to a new folder, they are not in order by capture time, and they don't stay rotated.  How do I copy them like they appear in PM?

You would have to rename them with the {datesort} variable so that when something like Windows Explorer sorts by filename the ordering is same as capture time sorting.  As for the rotation, if they're JPEGs, you can use the "Apply Rotation to JPEGs" command on the Tools menu to hard-rotate them.

PM offers various sorting options and the ability to observe the orientation value in the photos and as such it does what you're expecting with ease.  Windows Explorer is not sophisticated in this way so it cannot do the same things without some help on your part.
