Sorting Burst Shots in Apple Photos
When I import a large batch of shots from my camera into Photos, I usually want them in an album, sorted in the order I shot them. The Keep Sorted By Oldest First option would seem to be what I want, but unfortunately its sorting is only based on the capture time of each photo in seconds.

In order to get the photos into the order I want them, I just need to sort them in the order of their filenames. PA020007.ORF comes after PA020006.ORF, and so on. But Apple Photos can only sort by title, not by filename.
So, to get the sort order I want, I must first assign every photo in the album a title based on its original filename. Of course, typing all these titles in by hand would be impossibly tedious. Thankfully, there’s an open-source tool for that!
