Chronologicall order in playlist

[Guenie]

Hi there,

first I want to apologize for bad school english.

I am working with shotcut for quite some time now and it worked really well.
But now I have to edit a lot of videos into one.
It is similar to the example from this video https://youtu.be/siyPPFCQzFY?t=2m5s
As it is in the video it would be great if the playlist is sorted by the date.
So I draged the videos into shotcut like it is in the video but the videos weren’t sorted by date.
So how do I drag them in that they are sorted by date?
I would be happy if somebody could help me.

In windows explorer, sort the list of files by date from oldest to newest. Then, select the newest. Then, hold shift and select the oldest. All the files should be selected now. Then, click and drag the oldest file into the shotcut playlist. They should end up in chronological order.

It is working now.
You really helped me out.
Thank you

The Shotcut playlist now has a feature to sort by date:

Make playlist sortable

We chose not to implement this because: The order of the playlist dictates the order that the entries are played, not just the order that they are displayed. It may not be obvious to people that they have changed the play order. We do not want to display the playlist entries in an order that is not the play order to ensure that people always get the result they expect Some of the headings do not make sense to sort by (like start) We have implemented a context menu item to sort by name and dat…
