So if you happen to be like me, maybe you have two digital cameras, or multiple memory cards, but at any rate, the filename order of any given gallery of photos does *not* correspond to the date on which they were taken.
Of course this information is actually embedded in the images themselves, in the EXIF headers (you can see all of this data when you click on "More photo details)".
So I was hoping that Smugmug might offer the option to sort based on the EXIF dates. Alas, no.
So I got the bright idea that since iPhoto already can sort, if I used the Uploader to upload by iPhoto Album (as opposed to by files), it might preserve the sort order.
And it does. Yay.
So that's a workaround. Of course it'd be nice if you uploaded just a few more photos to a Gallery that they automatically be dropped into the correct place chronologically (if so desired).
Or, better still (and yes, this is yet another feature request), if you added a few photos to the iPhoto Album, and did an upload, the Uploader would do a check first to see which files were actually new, and only upload those files. As it works now, if you upload an Album to the same Gallery again, it will upload *everything* again, and you'll have duplicate photos in the gallery.
