Photo albums out of order when “adding to album”

When you are looking at Photos in the library, when you then try to add these to an album, why are the albums not in alphabetical order, this is surely something simple, even my friends Samsung phone does this task properly.

My "Add to Album" selection is in exactly the same order as the albums in the iPad's Sidebar, and those are in the same order as the albums listed in Collections>Albums. There, you can sort albums and folder by Name, Date, or just move them around.


How are your albums arranged in Collections and in the Sidebar?
