Iphone.

By using the photo album, it can not be sorted from A to Z. There are a lot of albums with same name etc. Do you have a good idea how the sort the album and make it efficient? Can albume edited as a file?

Sorting Photo Albums:

The best method is to perform this on a computer, as it would be more user-friendly doing so. You'd sign into the same Apple ID on it > enable Photos n iCloud Settings > and then create and modify the photo albums on that. Doing so on your phone would take quite some time.

"Meanwhile it is very suppressed for me, that the album could create two or more albums with same name. Is there any way to avoid this kind of issue?"

Troubleshooting Duplicate Photos:


Avoid Using Third-Party Apps for this:

Important: Avoid using Third-Party Apps as they may damage your photo library. Find More on this Here: Using Third-Party Apps to Remove Duplicate Photos Might Damage your Photos for macOS Library - Apple Support


See this 2017 Post's Reply: Duplicates in Photo - Apple Communities

Important: Three (supposedly) safe apps are listed there. But being authored 5.5 years ago (as of this reply) and with another operating system in the day, I suspect this would not be the same case as of this reply. So, contact those developers, and see what they have to say.


Time Machine Backup:

Important: Today,, Create a Time Machine backup of your Mac(s), so that you can have something to restore your Mac(s) from, should anything go wrong with this.


Photos Backup:

Important: Back up the Library in Photos on Mac so that all stays safe for receiver ---- use an external device.
