Photos in shared albums not sticking to sorting
it is sadly the case that when you share an album the order of the photos in the original album is not maintained in the shared album. There are only three ways to sort them in the shared album: by date added to the album; oldest photo date first, or newest photo date first.
I have therefore done the very laborious workaround of adding photos one by one (94 of them!) in reverse order so they come out as arranged in the original album....IN THEORY! However, about 20 photos in suddenly the next ones i add do not go to the top of the list but the bottom. One person an a forum suggested going in to the original photos and changing the dates. this also does not work, as the adjusted date is not carried to the shared album.
Why does shared albums suddenly "break" its instruction to put the most newly added photo (irrespective of the date the photo was taken or added to Photos) at the top or beginning of the album?
I am wanting to share and album so that it can be played as video or slideshow in the original order in which it was made, but this seems impossible given the above.
Anyone know what to do, our another way of achieving this? Does Google Photos work better?
