Q: Apple Photos doesn't sort properly
-
Oct 17, 2016 2:31 PMby LarryHN,Photos sorts correctly (with the exception of an issue with photos taken in one time zone and imported in a different time zone) - you simply do not understand that All PHotos is not sorted by Photo date and can not be (as shown in the view menu ==> sort options) - All Photos is only sorted by the date added to Photos with the newest photos at the bottom (photos migrated do not have an aded date so the initial migration is somewhat random
It works properly and as intended - migration is optional
You can tell Apple what you want - http://www.apple.com/feedback/
But since finding photos by date added is critical to many work flows and yu have Photos and user albums to look at photos sorted by capture date I seriously doubt any change here

I am aware how "All Photos" are sorted (by date imported to the Photos software) - clear.
But there is a difference between the "All Photos" album and the "Photos" tab.
The pics under tab "Photos" are supposed to be sorted by capture date ("oldest first", which is the only available option in the view menu) - which works for most, but not for all.
I will try to be more clear with a few screenshots.
Picture 1 with capture date:
Pic 2:
Pic 3:
All pics taken with the same camera, same location and same time zone.
The order should be 1, 3, 2 (from left to right) according to the capture date/time (see "Info" on screenshots). But instead it's 1, 2, 3.
It's the same problem when I add these pics to an album - it just won't sort by capture date/time.
