Feb 18, 2025

Do you have thousands of pictures on your phone? After decades of taking digital pictures, most of of us do!

And while your collection can be a beautiful record of your life, without organization, finding your favorite photos can be incredibly frustrating! 

Start by creating albums to keep memories organized and easy to access. All it takes is few clicks to create an album for a specific holiday, vacation, hobby, your favorite people, pets or anything else that fills your days!

Next, organize your albums in alphabetical order so they are easy to find and share! You can do this today whether you have 3 albums or 103 albums by following the steps below!

 

HOW TO ALPHABETIZE ALBUMS IN APPLE PHOTOS: 

  • Open Apple Photos from your phone
  • Find and open your "Albums" menu
  • Click the 3 dots in the top right corner
  • Select "Sort by Name" 
  • Your albums will now be in alphabetical order on your phone, computer and iPad

 

HOW TO ALPHABETIZE ALBUMS IN GOOGLE PHOTOS: 

  • Open Google Photos from your phone
  • Click "Collections" from the menu at the bottom of your screen
  • Find and open your "Albums" menu
  • At the top of your screen, find and click the button with two arrows that either says "Album title," "Most recent photo" or "Last modified" 
  • Select "Album title" from the menu at the bottom of your screen
  • Your albums will now be in alphabetical and numerical order making them incredibly easy to navigate

 

It's amazing how much progress you can make with your picture mess by taking just a few small steps! And since you will probably only take more and more pictures in the future, now is as good a time as any to get started!  

 

All the best,
