Is there a way to arrange photos in an album by when they were taken?

Is there a way to arrange photos in an album by when they were taken? I have about 400 photos in an album and they are not in order by when I took them. Is there a quick and easy way to sort them by date taken? Thanks!

You need to upgrade to a newer system version with an updated version of Photos to be able to sort albums. Upgrade at least to OS X 10.11 El Capitan. Then you can sort the photos in your own albums by the capture date. The first version of Photos on Yosemite has been somewhat limited. The more recent versions are much more versatile.
