[digiKam-users] [digiKam] sort photos by date and time?

[Tac Tacelosky]

I was trying to move photos from one album to another, and accidentally used <ctrl>-A, Move To Album... thinking I was only moving one album, and managed to move everything to that that album.

Kicking myself, of course, since I was using the date+topic for the album names, and was playing around with several different naming schemes (mostly because of RAW+JPEG+<Images from Raw Therapee>).

So now I'm trying to undo my mess.  Alas, where I should have tagged them by subject, I didn't.  But I can re-do everything if I can view them in digiKam by date AND TIME, then regroup, move, and tag them accordingly.

In thumbnails, though, even in the "Timeline" vertical tab, everything seems to be sorted by filename.  Since I used the counter as the part of the file name, I'm getting a thoroughly shuffled set of photos.

Is there a way to sort them by date and time?

Gracias,

Tac
