iCloud photo date and sorting

  1. I Imported photos from my PC to iCloud Photo Library.
  2. Photos in iCloud Photo Library and iPhone Photos app show the correct "date photo taken" - August 31, 2016
  3. But iCloud Photo Library and iPhone Photos app has those photos sorted as if they are today's date - September 10, 2023.
  4. In other words, the 2016 photos show up as the most recent photos in iCloud Photo Library and iPhone Photos app.
  5. How can I fix this so that photos are sorted by their correct "date photo taken" and not the date they were uploaded?

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Are your photos sorted correctly, when you are viewing them in the Library tabs "Days", "Months", "Years"?


Initially they were not, and the 2016 photos showed up under 2023/September/10. However, it has been about 20 minutes since I posted this question and the photos are now appearing under the correct Years/Months/Days labels. I must have been experiencing a processing lag.


Thank you for your reply. I think my question has been answered.
