Folders in photos

Is there a way to sort photos in folders instead of albums in photo app. I hate albums. I want my London photos to be in London folder and not anywhere else. With albums you never know where is your photo. You are never sure if the photo is in album or not.

The folders in the Photos.app can only hold other folders or albums, but not media items like photos or videos. We can only add photos or videos to albums.

Or do want to to store your photos in folders in the Finder? This is possible, if you use referenced photos, but I cannot recommend to do it this way. It is currently not well supported in Photos.
