Photos version 4 database

The full schema for Photos 4 databases can be found here.
Sort order of photos in albums is not yet supported by osxphotos
. The sort order appears to be in table RKCustomSortOrder
.
The highlighted rows in screenshot below show 4 photos in an album with default sort order. Note the orderNumber
column uses a similar scheme as in Catalina (start at 1024 and increment by 2^10). containerUuid
is the album UUID (RKAlbum.uuid
) and objectUuid
is the photo UUID (RKVersion.uuid
).

In screenshot below, I manually re-sorted the images, moving the second to last image (uuid = 6bxcNnzRQKGnK4uPrCJ9UQ) to the beginning of the album. Note it's orderNumber
changed from 3072 to 1536, placing it first in the album.
