It might help, but I'm not gonna mess with it: "a hidden, unsupported feature of these custom templates, which themselves are a hidden, unsupported feature of Lightroom" I've done some searching of the Internets and found, to my complete amazement, that there *isn't* any way to change the default sort order in Lightroom! (Well, besides playing with undocumented, hidden, unsupported stuff like the above.) Nor is there a way to change the sort order of more than one directory at a time! Unsurprisingly, there have been a lot of complaints about these issues, particularly the default sort order problem. I'm hoping <cough> that Adobe has fixed it in Lightroom 2.0, which was released yesterday. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
