Synching import from multiple cards/cameras

I recently spent a week with a group exploring the eastern seaboard of the US and shooting their experiences with two cameras. I now want to put together some kind of record of their time and am wondering if I can ease my time and pain in front of the computer by somehow synching together the chronological order of the photos taken on those separate cards as I import them into C1. If anyone has any ideas, I would sincerely appreciate your help.

Thanking you in advance.

  If the two cameras had their time and date correctly set, you don't need to do anything : just import everything and sort by time of capture.

  So, then, you’re suggesting I not number the imports—which I traditionally do—but just simply leave it all up to the time of capture. Simple enough. I feel a little stupid in hindsight, but I’d rather deal with that and move on. Thanks for your help, John Doe.

  I like having a number. You could sort into Date order (which should put them in order of capture time) then use Batch Rename to add a number to the file names.

  I think ultimately that’s the way I’ll feel most comfortable—after I eliminate all of my garbage. Thanks to both of you. Simple workaround, but for some reason I was stumped.
