Small LR2 import problem

clive_odonohoe

I have a batch of 50 scans from 35mm slides. Before I had scanned all 50 I had scanned the 6th slide about a week before I scanned the rest. Now that all 50 are done, When I import them into lightroom, the first scan that shows in the import is the 6th scan (due to its date it was scanned Im presuming), which moves the slides from there original place by one.


Just incase it has any effect,
my filename template is: scan_35_[sequence # (001)] : scan_35_001.tif

The 35 is just custom text that stands for my batch number and the 001 is obviously the sequence I want that batch to follow.

Before they were brought into lightroom they were in a folder called "35" and each scan was named "scan_001.tif


So basically, is there anyway I can get lightroom to import them the way they are, instead of importing them by the date they were taken/scanned?

Thanks,

Clive

In Library mode
View
sort - and then select filename or whatever you need.

Thanks paul,

but none of the options in the sort menu arrange the images to the way they should appear.
