Q: Multiple Photo Albums iOS10

Let me correct my mistake of calling albums "folders" in my last post.  After upgrading to iOS 10 and syncing my iPhone's Mac Photos via iTunes, every album that a photo appears in from Mac Photos now shows up as an album on my iPhone?  This now makes navigating to albums in Photos on the iPhone a total mess seeing how you can't sort the albums alphabetically.

 

Example:  Photo "A" that I shot with my DSLR was uploaded to Mac Photos and sorted into 3 separate albums X, Y, and Z.  I now sync my iPhone through iTunes and select to only sync album X.  With the previous iOS on the iPhone (iOS9) only that single album would appear in the Photos app after syncing.  Now with iOS10 all three albums, X, Y, and Z, appear on my iPhone.  I have dozens of albums in Mac Photos and I only sync a particular albums.   But now if I just sync album X (contains photo "A") every album that includes picture "A" (albums X, Y and Z) also appear as albums on my iPhone.  Why?  Now I have dozens of unwanted albums listed in my Photos app.  This also makes navigating to a picture to upload to Instagram difficult.  Try finding an album named "X" in an unsorted list of 200+ albums.

 

Please correct this problem and revert to way it use to be; and while your at it, how about letting me sort my albums alphabetically on the iPhone Photos app.

iPhone 6s, iOS 10
