The "Moments" have replaced the events, not the albums. The Moments are now the basic entities of the library, just like the events are in iPhoto. Each photo and all its versions will appear in one "Moment"; a photo cannot be in more than one moment. But you do not create the moments on your own. Photos will partition the library automatically into moments, based on similar capture dates and similar locations. There is no way to move photos between moments other than changing the date of the photo.


You are seeing a folder "iPhoto Events" in the Album section of the library, because Photos created an album for each event it migrated to Photos. This way the name of your previous events could be saved, and the photos are grouped together in an album.

Moments in Photos are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.


When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there was a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder. To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.


There's a way to simulate events in Photos.

When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder


When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.

The downside to the simulation is that the Albums/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title. But they can also be sorted manually, either in the sidebar or in the folder's window at the right.


Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.
