Freebie Adebis Photo Sorter Puts Pics in Chronological Order

If you're like most digital camera users, you probably bought your first camera several years ago. Now your My Pictures folder is jam-packed with pictures of everyone you've met and every place you've been since you first bought the camera. And if you're like most digital camera users, that folder is probably a pile of unsorted or loosely sorted pictures, so finding one in the pile is almost impossible. Adebis Photo Sorter (free) can help... to a point.

The free download makes it easy to pick a folder that's filled with unsorted photos, choose a destination folder where you want to sort your pile, then set up some date-driven parameters. Adebis Photo Sorter can search and find every photo you took in 2009 and put them all in a folder called 2009. And it gets more granular than that, sorting by season, month and even day . It will search a broad range of file types as well, including jpg, tiff, raw, and others.

It only sorts by date, using EXIF data in the file, so if you already have a temporal sorting system it won't add much. But if you have a truly unsorted slush pile of photos, Adebis Photo Sorter is a quick and dirty way to sort it into some kind of order. And it would come in handy if you're looking for a particular shot that you remember taking during a particular time. It's a handy little app to have on hand.
