How do you sort years of photos by date?

No. PicsOrder only copies. Your originals stay exactly where they are, exactly as they are. Nothing is re-encoded or compressed.

Yes, natively. PicsOrder reads HEIC and HEIF files without any codec, even on PCs where the Windows Photos app cannot open them.

It reads the EXIF date taken embedded by your camera or phone. If a file has no EXIF data (scans, screenshots), it falls back to the file date.

Nothing is duplicated. Every photo is compared by digital fingerprint, so re-running a sort skips everything already in the destination — even duplicates with different file names, like the IMG_1234_1 copies created by iCloud.

CA$ 9.89 one-time purchase on the Microsoft Store (local pricing varies by country). A free trial sorts up to 500 files per run so you can verify everything on your own photos first.

Never. All processing is local. PicsOrder makes no network connections, has no account and collects no data.

PicsOrder compares the binary content of files (MD5 fingerprint): two strictly identical files are detected as duplicates even under different names. Similar but modified photos (resized, recompressed, edited) are treated as distinct and both are kept — when in doubt, PicsOrder never removes anything.

Yes — since version 2.1, MP4, MOV and M4V videos are sorted alongside photos, using the creation date embedded in the file (with file-date fallback). The little clip of an iPhone Live Photo is automatically filed and named with its photo.
