Do you want to sort the list of albums or the photos in a certain album?


To sort the list of albums you will have to do it manually, as described here: Edit, share, and organize albums in iPhone - Apple Support (IN)


Rearrange and delete albums

  1. Open the Photos app  on your iPhone.
  2. Tap Albums, then tap See All.
  3. Tap Edit, then do any of the following:
    • Rearrange: Touch and hold the album’s thumbnail, then drag it to a new location.
    • Delete: Tap .
  1. Tap Done.

Albums that Photos creates for you, such as Recents, People, and Places, can’t be deleted.


It will help to organize the albums by grouping them with folders. Keep the numbers of albums inside a folder small, so you see all of them at once and do not need to sort them. But we cannot add existing albums to a folder, we have to Crete the albums inside the folder where we want them. So it is best to plan all albums in advance.
