I'm attaching a screenshot to show you what it will look like on your monitor. The default order will be to sort the photos "by date", so it should already be set up to see the oldest first, or newest first (depending on whether you start scrolled down at the bottom or at the top).

The slider is at the upper left corner in Photos, and at the bottom right corner in iPhoto. Then, when in iPhoto or Photos, use the little zoom slider to adjust the size of the image icons to adjust the size of the icons so that you get 8 on the screen, or 12, or whatever works best for you at any given time. So, export them from LightRoom to either iPhoto or Photos, which your computer should already have loaded onto it. You say you prefer to view your photos exported from LightRoom. So I'm searching for a "work around" for this where I don't have to make subdirectories for each years' photos. That way, I can see 8 or 12 photos on the screen, depending on how large I make the icons, and I don't have to scroll through the hundreds of older photos. I prefer to view my jpg photos (exported from Lightroom) in icon view AND view the most recent files first. What's wrong with viewing them in Lightroom?

(Sure, files can be sorted in descending order in "file name" view, but then you can't actually see the photo, so this is not a solution.)Ħ0D, canon 18-135 EFS, and 1.4 extender in the bag. My files are formatted, YYYY-MM-DD-photo#. I have a dozen subdirectories containing similar content, e.g one directory for Waterfowl photos from various years, another for deer. I'm completely befuddled that Apple's latest OS (or even it's oldest OS for that matter), doesn't provide for this basic command. Apple's Tech Support says there's no way to sort files in descending order when files are in viewed in "Icon View".
