placing clips on timeline by date

Hello to all Video Editors,

I use Movie Studio 2025 Suite,

I recorded my video clips and .jpg pictures using a drone, gimbal and extra phone camera...for 5 days. Now I want to place them all on a timeline sorted by date AND time - to ease editing. Even the timeline allows me to sort them by :recorded on, but it doesn't mean it can sort them by date AND time. Without this feature it will take me daaaays to figure everything out. I started by adding video clips and pictures manually sorted by day....

It should be the way....please help.

thank you😊

@Greg123 Hi, one option if Magix Movie Studio (MMS) doesn't sort your files correctly is to open the Windows folder they're in, Windows has much more options for sorting files, sort your files so they're correctly ordered, select all & rename them, they will each then get an suffix at the end, ie Name (1), Name (2) etc, you can then use the sort by Name in MMS..

PS. you should make copies of your files so the originals & their names stay intact & unaltered.
