Q: iPhone pictures not sorted by date in Albums

I installed the new OS update in my MackBook Air and now I am using the new Photos app. I enabled the iCloud Photo Library function. So far so good, after a while now all of my Albums show on my iPhone, but the pics are all over the place, they are not sorted by date (oldest one first, newest picture last). When I go into any of the albums all of my pictures are disorganized; however, when I go into the same album on the Photos app in my Mac; there are just fine, sorted by date.

I wonder if there is a fix for this problem.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.2

    How things are displayed on the Phone is a matter for the Phone software. I'd ask on the iPhone forum.

    @TD No this is not an issue with the iPhone photos app, we are talking about the new Mac OS X Photos app on 10.10.3! ajrfalcon3 is quite correct - all the photos are out of order which is really annoying as I can't actually flick past my photos in the order I took them. This is a blocker for me in terms of wanting to use the app - so back to iPhoto for now! +1 please fix!

    I have a similar problem. All of the photos in my All Photos album are out of sync the same way on both my Mac and iPhone. The Photos tab that shows photos by moments appears correct. When I go to iCloud.com and look at the All Photos album all of my pictures are shown in the correct order.

     

    I looks like part of the resorting my be a bug related to translating images that have now been tagged with the key word 'Photo Stream', but I'm just speculating.

    we are talking about the new Mac OS X Photos app on 10.10.3!

    You are several versions out of date.  The current version of Photos, 1.3, does allow you to sort by date in the albums:

    I recommend  you update to El Capitan via the App Store and this will solve your problem.  There are also many improvements to Photos with the latest version(s), like using external image editors from within Photos.
