Icloud photo album management

With 8000 photos I need a way to get to topics or dates faster than scrolling. I have many folders and albums, but I cannot keep the many folders arranged alphabetically. The system seems to move them around. Here are samples. Any way to manage these?

Organising ICloud Photos into Folders or Albums Morning all, I’ve got two questions. What’s the difference between folders and albums? It’s driving me nuts as I can’t work it out when organising my photos. Is there a way to clearly see if you’ve missed sorting certain photos into their appropriate album that you’ve created. I’m going crazy because without keep going to and fro from All photos to the album I’ve created I can’t see if I’ve missed it or not. thanks Gill

All my photos/videos/etc are chronologically organized in Photos Folders/Albums. When up loaded to Cloud will they remain organized that way? All my photos/videos/etc are chronologically organized in Photos Folders/Albums. When up loaded to Cloud will they remain organized that way?

Why all new albums in Photos Although I use Photos more and more, I still keep a file of all my photos arranged as I like them (use Lightroom). Earlier this month, I upped my iCloud storage to 2T and created a folder to upload and store items not associated with Documents or Apple Photos. One of the items uploaded was a huge file of 'click art' items. I then decided to upload, for storage purposes, my 'Picture Albums' file. It's been a few weeks since I actually looked at Photos beyond the current stuff taken/recorded. Today I did and see many, many, many albums having been added to Apple Photos. These new albums all have an album inside that includes the things from my clip art files and my Picture Albums that were uploaded to iCloud. Would pictures uploaded to iCloud be automatically added to Apple Photos? Gonna take me a while to sort through all these things and try to arrange them so I can remove duplicates, if necessary.

Not from iCloud.com but from the Photos app (dock) you can right-click and choose Sort.
