Use iPhoto to change the sorting of events in iTunes photo sync

When syncing photos to my iPhone using iTunes, I've long been frustrated by the order in which the list of photo Events was sorted.

Quite by accident, I discovered that the sort order is set from within iPhoto, with a twist.

If you open iPhoto and select Events, then change the sort order using the View menu, the order will also change in iTunes, but - and this is the actual hint I guess - you have to quit and restart iTunes to see the differently-ordered list. (Not really up to Apple's usual standards of transparent useability!)

[crarko adds: I tested this, and it works as described.]
