Photos out of chronological order in albums

Since the 'upgrade' to Photos Ver. 1.0 (209.52.0) from iPhoto, my photos appear out of chronological order after import into albums. I haven't found any 'sort' feature and photos cannot be 'dragged' into another location either (I should not have to do that anyway!!). This happens whether all the photos are from one camera or from both my cameras. This did not happen in iPhoto and no times/dates were altered from the original. This seems such a basic thing. Anyone know how to fix this?

Same problem and it's completely maddening and ridiculous that Apple would refuse to add a simple "sort by..." button.

Yes and the whole point of an album is that you often want to share it with people. It's ridiculous.

And again

Again you should actually learn how to use the software - no wonder you are frustrated -

In Photos you can not have folders of photos and folders only contain albums or other folders

And again: I disagree.
