Last Import now disappeared from Photos

Running macOS High Sierra 10.13.2. I imported several hundred photos from a memory card today, and come to find out there is no "Last Import" folder in Photos. All of my photos have been mixed in with the last three months of photos! I went to the "Imports" tab, and it has all of my photos mixed up. My recent import is NOT at the top or the bottom of the "Imports" tab. Help! Bring back "Last Import" option in Apple Photos!

iMac, macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)

The album "Imports is sorted by the date of the Import session.


On my Mac I am seeing:

Each import should be shown with the date of the import at top.


You could try to create your own "Last Import" album as a smart album:

Try "File > New Smart Album":

Add a rule "date added is in the last ... days".

Imports has replaced its subset album, last import


and this makes no sense at all

I went to the "Imports" tab, and it has all of my photos mixed up.

As there is no "imports tab" - imports is one view on the library and is listed in the library section of the sidebar in High Sierra (if the library section is now shown hover over "library" and click on "show" when it appears to the right

and in the Imports view photos are not all mixed up, they are shown in groups with the latest import at the bottom
