Organizing Projects in Projects View
You can organize your projects by the year the photos were created. If you organize your
projects in folders in the Library inspector, you can group your projects by the folders they reside
in. You can sort projects by name, in ascending and descending order, and in the order in which
the projects appear from top to bottom in the Library inspector. If you have a large number of
projects in your library, you can search for a specic project, removing the others from view.
