iPhoto date sorting

Hi,

I managed to import and sort all my pictures into iphoto.

Now when i click Photos on the left side of iphoto. I get all my photos sorted by their events. And the events are sorted by the oldest event in 1999 on top and going down. I want it to be the other way, i want the latest event on top.

I did sort by Date and changed ascending and descending. But it still doesnt change. i still have 1999 on top . Help!

Secondly i have around 2000 events. And when i imported them, the view in Photos are expanded, meaning all photos in all the events are expanded. I want to close that view and just have the event title and date. I can do that by minimizing the event arrow. But doing it for 2000 events...Yikes. Anyways to automate it all?

Thanks
