In my photo library, my albums are organized by name. I also want to organize my photos in each album by name, but haven’t been able to do that. Plex has organized the photo’s by date, but I want to be able to custom organize them by name. Is there an easy way to do that? ---

It’s disappointing I haven’t had a reply by now. I will no longer be using Plex to organize my photo’s. I need a photo app that will show my photo’s as I have them organized on my hard drive. ---

Hi! Don’t use your photos with plex, it sucks. I have sorted all photos by name so when I search locally on my computer, I can quickly find pictures of a friend. It does not work at all with plex. For example, if i search for Eric i get 8 hits when I should get 45 hits. The few hits I get do not come up as slide show, but I have to choose server (which is always the same) and look at the pictures one at a time. Then I get a lot of actors by the same name when I just want to search locally among my photos. ---
