Q: Missing iPhoto Events folder in the sidebar in Photos

After switching to Photos on my MacBook Pro I have no folder called iPhoto Events in the sidebar and all my photos have rearranged to chronological order instead of the events I had them arranged in. How do I get my events back or create new events out of my photos? I don't want them arranged chronologically.

Thanks!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

when you migrate from iPhoto the folder iPHoto events is created and each event is made into an album in that folder - How Photos handles content and metadata from iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support

But when it migrated it didn't include a folder called iPhoto Events as it says on the weblink you provided:
Events migrate to a folder that's labeled "iPhoto Events" in the Albums view.

There is no folder called iPhoto Events in my Photos sidebar.... do I need to do something to get it to appear?

Are you seeing any albums at all, when you reveal the sidebar by pressing the key combination option-command-S ?

If the Album section is apparently empty, hover the pointer to the right of the word "Albums" to reveal the hidden Show/Hide control and click "Show".
