I have a number [thousands] of my daughter's iPhone files stored on my server, each
one has an "IMG_xxxx" number however they don't seem to have a consistent
relationship to date and time, not that we can sse anyway. However it appears that each
file does have that information, e.g. datetime=2015:06:30 15:58:38]:
[bobg@box10 Ginette]$ file IMG_4823.JPG
IMG_4823.JPG: JPEG image data, Exif standard: [TIFF image data, big-endian,
direntries=10, manufacturer=Apple, model=iPhone 6 Plus, orientation=upper-right,
xresolution=154, yresolution=162, resolutionunit=2, datetime=2015:06:30 15:58:38],
baseline, precision 8, 3264x2448, frames 3
So it seems there probably is either software to sort them or a script that would sort on
the date shown by "file."
What can I do to accomplish this?
You could do as Markku suggested or you could go a slightly different route and
google "sort files by exif date" which will get you to a few java based tools to
give you a GUI to perform the function.
