[QUOTE="Sawday, post: 1062596, member: 22882"] I think you're making it far too complicated than it needs to be. My photos, from whatever source, are held in folders, some folders are within Pictures folders others are 'freestanding'. When I import into iPhoto it creates an Event for each folder, each event having that folders name. Photos from one folder do not get added to other events even if they have the same date or name. So folders named, say 'Cropredy 2008', 'Pauls 50th Birthday', 'Northumberland in Winter' all end up in their own iPhoto Event. Within each Event I can sort by date or whatever. I don't have to do any resorting of Events within iPhoto, although sometimes I create albums to pull together all photos of particular people or places. Incidentally, if you have thousands of photos or you want to keep say personal photos completely separate from business photos you could create additional iPhoto libraries but generally Events does everything you need.
