How do you get Photos on the Mac to sort pictures by date taken. For the most part is does but some pics are totally out of order.

Thank you for making me look harder at every aspect of the time stamp. I have multiple copies of photos taken with the multiple cameras with the correct time but and some are in the correct sequence and some are not. I finally noticed that some have an eastern time zone stamp and some a central time zone. All of the photos were taken in an eastern time zone location, but some I exported from Photos from a computer in the central time zone and I now have them ALL in one Photos library and they are not in the same sequence/order. Now that I am aware to check the time zone, I can correct the time for the appropriate time zone and they are falling back into sequence. Again, thank you...
