Hi everyone, I'm having trouble sorting XML files, the only tag when I run exiftool -s that seems to be the correct creation date is the tag NonRealTimeMetaCreationDateValue but I'm having trouble getting the command to sort by it. The goal is to sort them to using the flags -v -d and to the destination ~/%Y/%m/%Y-%m-%d/%%f%%-c.%%

The -d (-dateFormat) option only works on tags that exiftool has marked as date/time tags (-Time:All). Since it doesn't know anything about NonRealTimeMetaCreationDateValue, it isn't marked as a Time tag.  You will have to reformat the data using regex or other Perl commands.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
