Here you can find tips and tricks for using the MobileMe plug-in and find answers to frequently asked questions.

Controlling the Sort Order

By default MobileMe sorts photos in the reverse order they were added to the album, with most recent photos being placed at the beginning of the album. Apparently this was done on the assumption that you’d expect to see most recent photos first. Unfortunately, as of right now there is no option to turn this reverse sorting off, at least not through the MobileMe web interface anyway. Sure you can drag your photos around using the mouse, but this is just no fun. With the MobileMe plug-in you can easily enforce natural ordering, so the photos appear in your MobileMe albums in the same order as in the filmstrip. Also, when you add more photos to a gallery, the new photos would go at the end of the album. To enable this option, select the Sort photos in the order they are exported (override MobileMe sorting) option under the MobileMe Gallery Options section in the Export dialog.

Handling Duplicate Photo Uploads

With the MobileMe plug-in you can control how to handle uploads of previously uploaded photos, especially if you are uploading to the same album. The default method is to simply re-upload all of the selected photos, which creates duplicates if any of the selected photos have been already uploaded previously. In addition, you can choose to  skip previously uploaded copies (i.e  not upload again), or replace existing photos with new versions. To specify the method of handling existing photos select the appropriate choice for the When photos already exist in the album option under the MobileMe Gallery Options section in the Export dialog.
