    I have never encountered an issue like this before. Can you provide more details?

    I have exactly the same problem. I tried to "re-sort" them, without luck.

    Yes, they aren't in the same order after export as they are in the catalog, sorted by time taken.

    Sorry, James Quinn, but this isn't exactly clear to me.

    • I get the first part - that you have the images in the catalog sorted by "Date", so by time taken, because that's what the Date sort order actually does. 
    • Then you select some and export them.
    • Then you say that they are in the wrong order. But that is the bit I don't fully understand. Do you mean they sort in the wrong order viewed in Capture One (if indeed you include the exported images in the Capture One Catalog)? Or do you mean that if you sort them by date in Finder (or Windows File Explorer) that they show in the wrong order there?
    • Also do you rename them on import? Or indeed on export?

    One thing occurs to me, though. When you export them, what settings do you have in the Metadata section of the Export recipe? See screenshot.

    I find that if Camera Metadata is checked, my exported JPG file has a Content Created value in Finder equal to the date and time the original image was taken. But if Camera Metadata is not checked, the output JPG shows a Content Created value in Finder equal to the date and time at which the JPG was exported. Therefore, if for some reason Capture One didn't work through the queue of images in date order when it processed them, the Content Created order would be different from the order in which the images were taken.

    So is it worth checking the Metadata section of the Export recipe? And looking at the metadata of the exported files in Finder (or in Windows File Explorer) to see what date and time is shown there?
