    iPhone Photo Albums Organizing by Date Imported to PC Not Date Taken/Created

    So ever since I got my iPhone 15 Pro, ONLY photos taken by me and my iPhone are organized correctly (once imported to PC and put in a specific folder then put back on my iPhone).

    I have a folder containing video clips and need to sort them by their dimensions (smallest to biggest for example). Mac Finder doesn't have the option to do this. Does anyone know of some software or maybe even an extension for Finder that will allow me to do this?

    Maps Guides Doesn’t Automatically Sort Based on Default Filter

    This is perplexing to me. I don’t know if this is a bug or intended behavior but when I open a self-curated guide in Maps, “Sort by” appears (I have it set to distance), but the locations in my list aren’t sorted by distance. I have to set it to sort by name or date added, then back to distance...

    Maps Sorting Bug?

    When I open any of “My Guides” in Maps, “Sort by Distance” is already selected, but I have to tap it, then tap “Distance” to get it to sort properly every time. It doesn’t sort automatically by default, even with that sorting option selected. Is that expected behavior, or does it seem like a bug?

    Song sorting not syncing with Catalina

    Before Catalina, the songs on my iPhone's Music playlists were sorted by last played date. After Catalina, the songs on the iPhone are now sorted by Artist in reverse alphabetical order, but this is not how they are sorted in macOS Music app. What is going on here?

    How Do You Set Up Your Homescreen, and Why?

    Hello. How do you set up your home screen, and why do you set it up that way? (Screenshots are encouraged, but not required) I set mine up with my most used apps (which happen to all be Microsoft) and folders. I don't have a second page because it feels cluttered. What about you?
