Folders in Photos won't sync to Ipad

I have bought a new iPad mini and am syncing to a MacBook Pro which has Big Sur installed. Whilst the albums and photos sync to the iPad, the folders and subfolders do not, so I now have all the albums ungrouped.


Any idea how I can get the same folder structure in my iPad that I have on my MacBook?

iPad Mini 5, iPadOS 14

How are you doing the sync? I use iCloud Photos to do the sync among my devices, and it does honor the folder structure. I have heard that Finder sync has trouble with folder structure. I don't use it, so I hope somebody who does will chime in with more details.
