Question about alums in Photos

Every time I sort all my alums in certain order, when I open Photos again after few days, all alums are messed up again? No matter how times I tried, Photos seems has its own idea. Any idea how we can fix this problem?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2

Hi - when you right or ctrl click on a folder in the my albums (including the my albums folder itself), you can select sort by date ascending or descening, or by name. (See screenshot)


If you want to create a specific sort order which is not a date order, then you will need to give each album a name with a preceding letter or number, then sort by name (eg 001, 002 etc).


That sort only applies to the folder you are sorting, not any subfolders which need to be sorted separately.
