How do you change the sort order in Photos in iOS 7. I want to sort the photos in an album by title but it shows them only by date created. In iPhoto on my iMac(OSX 10.9.5) I can sort by title, date, keyword, or rating.

You cannot sort the photos in albums. The sorting is automatic by date.
In an album you can only sort by date or manually. Tell Apple what missing features you'd like restored/added in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html

I've never managed to sort the photos manually in Photos on iOS7, Old Toad, at least not on my iPhone.
How do you do it?
Photos on iOS7,
I forgot we were talking about Photos on iOS7. 😟
Several months ago an apple update scrambled all my photos and put them in order of dates and all my organized titles were gone and I was livid as I have over 7,000 photos that were organized. Someone from apple was kind enough to help me restore my iPhoto program yet on my desktop the icon for the new "photos" app still appears and opens up when I plug in my iPhone. Can I drag that old icon to the trash to get rid of it without damaging the photo app somehow. I'm afraid to do that but would like that new program to disappear and not come up any more. thanks, Dale
I'm not sure this is going to help, but here goes anyway. I have an album in Photos on my Mac with nearly 500 photos which I've sorted alphabetically by title (manually - because, unlike in iPhoto, that's the only way you can do it in Photos). When I sync this album to my iPhone using iTunes, the photos remain in title order (NOT date order). So far, so good.
The 500 photo album was a bit unwieldy so I split it into four smaller albums on the Mac (titles A-G, H-L ...etc), each sorted alphabetically by title, and then synced these to the phone. On the phone, the four smaller albums lose the alphabetic sort and appear to be in date order. The 500 photo album remains in title order on the phone.
So the answer is that photos are NOT always in date order on the phone.
However, the conditions under which the sync decides to use title order or date order on the iPhone are a mystery to me.

I did sync using iTunes. On the iPhone it always switches to a "date created" sort. Makes it impossible to view a slideshow in the correct order if you use out of sequence photos as title pages with added text, as created on the iMac. Sure wish I could revert to previous IOS on my phone.
So I see all the comments asking how to change the sort order with this new software for iPhoto. I hate it and had a support team member revert my program back to the original format. They still have not answered my original question. The OLD icon still appears on my dash board and is activated whenever I plug my iPhone into the computer. Can I drag the OLD icon to trash or will that ruin my photo program all together. Where do I go to find the answer to the question? I've so far just gone in circles and seems everyone else is upset with the new sorting method. Hate it!!
You're going to have to tell us what you mean by the "old icon". Is it iPhoto or Photos? I take it you're running iPhoto after reverting back to the original application and library. Is that correct.
If Photos is opened each time you connect your iPhone go the iPhone window and in the upper right hand corner make sure this checkbox is unchecked.
If that doesn't do the job open Image Capture with the iPhone connected and in the lower left hand corner set it to No application or iPhoto.
Just drag the "old" icon out of the dock and forget it.
