Photo Albums disappear

I have reorganised all my Photo albums. Now most of them have vanished from Photo on any device, including iCloud. The individual images have not been lost, but most Albums have. What can I do to recover the Albums? Thanks.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2016), macOS Sierra (10.12.2)

It has been reported here several times that dragging albums out of the iPhoto Events folder deleted them. Tis seems to be a bug.

But additionally, enabling iCloud Photo Library on an iOS device after enabling it on a Mac also caused albums to be lost.
