Photos out of order after upgrading

Photos out of order after upgrading

I have an iPhone and Macbook Pro Retina. I recently upgraded my iPhone to the latest version so I figured I would do the same thing as well with my Mac which was still on Mavericks. Prior to upgrading the "All Photos" album on iCloud.com and my phone was correctly in order. However once I upgraded to El Capitan and set up Photos for Mac, around 1,000 photos were randomly moved to the front of the album. I have no idea why it happened specifically once I upgraded and I haven't found a solution anywhere either.

Photos is a new program and iPhoto 9.5.1 work flows do not necessarily apply - you need to take time to learn PHotos as it is a new and different program - not an upgrade nor a new version of iPhoto

For example in Photos All Photos is sorted by order added to Photos - on the initial migration this is somewhat random - -Photos view is in time/date order

for help in getting started see How Photos handles content and metadata from iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support and Photos 1.5 vs iPhoto 9.6.1: Features and Capabilities

The links tell me about going from iPhoto to Photos, but I never even used the iPhoto application. I'm no genius on this. Like I said earlier, my phone and iCloud.com originally had "All Photos" in the perfectly correct order. My photos still have the proper dates, but once I setup Photos for Mac it moved photos that were clearly from last year to the front, then proceeded to sync with my iPhone and iCloud.com and further mess it up. I need a solution to fix or undo this.

Again use the Photos view as it it the view sorted in date/time order
